Yo sabrina nice one, got my papaya seeds from Buydutcheeds.com in my opinion best place to buy seeds :). Yea go on love, plant 5 papaya seeds, go on you know you want to. It will be worth it because they are quick growing and all being well you should be able to get ur harvest in before it gets to cold, i would plant 5 now if i were you, you will love growing papaya its nice, quick and with the right care can be nice and easy to grow to. I shall as always be posting more images soon (its like 02:07AM at the mo) so i wont take any pics now cus the plants are in the darkened room. Tomorrow (Friday) i shall add some more pics, because theyres been even more THC appearing and the buds are just getting bigger n bigger every day. About 1 WEEK until the papaya harvest now and i cannot wait. i shall make sure i upload pics of the harvested, dried bud aswell :).
As i said above i shall soon be starting my LowRyder seeds (cus i got a perfect 2months left of summer) so i could just about squeeze in a few LowRyders to bump up my crop, ill make a grow diary of that and keep everyone updated because i know alot of people (includeing myself) are very interested and eger to grow LowRyder. :)
More pics coming tomorrow so keep a look out :D
HARVESTED
I have harvested 1 of my 3 Papaya plants. the other 2 will follow next week. I have used a cain of bamboo and put it accross the legnth of a darkened room. ive hung ma buds up on the bamboo using string and ive got a fan circulating the room. Should be ready to smoke in a week or so. :) obviously i nicked a bit to smoke for the mean time and quick dried it ;) but i cant wait for the final dried product X-D
I shall ensure i post plenty of pictures of my room layout for drying em, along with final dried pics and final dried weight. I'll take these photos in a day or 2 :).
For now see ya in a bit
congrats mate, u just hit'ed the sweetest time.
how is the weed?
oh the weed smokes very nicely, i smoke bongs usually, and with most weed it takes me about 8 bongs to get stoned, but with this papaya i am stoned after about 3 bongs. the high is very nice and it smells amazing too.
I'm so happy for you! It sounds like the harvest went very well.
I planted all 10 of the papaya seeds :P Along with the 10 Swiss Miss by Nirvana. heh I know... 20 is alot but I have my reasons. ;)
First of all it's hot as hell here. Around 102 (around 39C) as our highs. And VERY dry. I'm sure to get more males in the bunch due to the temp extremes. So I figure out of 20 planted (10 papaya 10 Swiss Miss) I'll probably only end up with 7-10 females. So far 100% germination on the Swiss Miss and about 80% beginning to germinate on the papaya. I have them in peat pots filled with plain old seed starter medium without any nutrients in it.
I'll be starting up a noob journal soon, most likely next week. Right now not much going on other than seeds germinating.
Thanks so much for posting on your grow. It's great incentive :D
Sabrina
Yea no worries thats sound mate, still drying away nicely upstairs :). Good germination rate :D, 9 of my 9 low ryder seeds germinated and 1 random seed i got from sum bud failed, but ah well, most of all 100% of ma lowryder germinated.....i only got 9 seeds cus the idiots only packed 9 seeds in the seed pack, >.< didnt get my full 10.
well ill keep ya'll posted on the papaya drying pics etc..., and remember to have a look at ma lowryder.
1st Plant Harvested and Dried
As i had a plant that was about 2weeks older than the others i could crop this one earlier than the others. So i did just that, i harvested the plants about 1 week ago and i left the bud to dry in a dark 15oC room with a rotating fan. The bud is now dry and the final dry weight of that ONE plant was just under 2ounces. Dunno if this is good or bad, but none the less the weed was absolutly stunning. The pics may not look much cus of the camera flash but this green was top notch :). Was very happy with the result.
I shall be cropping and drying the other 2 plants next week, and i shall be posting more pics on them soon.
For now i shall post a pic or 2 of the Papaya i've just dried out. I only took a pic of a 8th amount of it. Rest of it still hanging up in the dry room.
.........just havin a look at my last grow and i just realised.....i took no decent photos of my crop.
I got about 4-5oz. and i spent around 3 weeks drying it in a warm room with a fan.
Smoked very nicely, and the scent of the bud was very fruity/citrussy
