Corkboyhighs first grow,Hydro papaya

[Corkboyhigh]

Hi all,
having spent the past few weeks researching this forum ive decided to take the plungeand get growing.:thumbsup:
Ive decided on a simple homemade ebb and flow system which ive made from 4" pipe for my flowering room and a drip system i bought in b&q for the vegging area.
I will be using 6oow hps lamo for flowering and i have a standard warehouse type flourescent for vegging.
I recently moved into a new house so ive assigned the box bedroom as my growspace, Iv sectioned off about 4.5x3x7 to be my flowering room. Due to financial restrictions i will be building it as i go along. Next on the list is a 600w hps light.
i will be using an inline fan to extract air from the room and have a passive air intake. i dont think ill need carbon filters because i live in the countryside and the exhaust fron the room is out an upstairs window. for air movement inside i will be using oscillating fans.
I bought papaya seeds from a local headshop and 7 out of 10 germd in a paper towel in my airing cupboard. I transferred them to rockwool cubes and they all broke ground within 2-4 days. Iv named them girls names Amy Barbra Ciara Dorothy Eva Fiona Glenda in the order they popped. They are 3-5 days old now and are starting to grow a second set of leaves. Ill get some pics up soon.
i Will be using BioBizz bloom and grow nutes with maxicrop seaweed stuff and formulex for the seedlings. Im just watering them by hand for now cause iv read that overwatering is not good at this stage.
Ok i think thats about it for now, looking forward to some input from you guys along the way and of course for some sweet bud after xmas:jointsmile:

Nice! I'm tuned-in for this run. Tasty stuff!

Are these fem seeds? Or, are the girl names an attempt at positive reinforcement?

Looks like a good start. :thumbsup:

[indica1980]

Exactly I couldnt have put it better myself.. positive reinforcement! No they're not femmed, I bought a pack of g-force fem seeds before this but I killed them with my impatience! so i bought these on the cheap afterwards lol.
Handy having a headshop down the road!

Ya indica i know girls with all those names...well except dorothy but i was high when i named them and couldnt think of any D's! Interesting to see which ones will turn out 2 be males ha

I dont think barbra and ciara are gonna make it, they've gone all curly or something, ill get pics up later, so im down to 5 regular papaya so knowing my luck they'll all be males so I ordered seeds online from attitude seedbank. Afghan kush x yumbolt and they threw in 2 free seeds LA woman and lemon skunk all feminized.
I ordered the 600watter and fan so they should be arriving soon. I think im gonna flower these papaya young and cut clones if they are females, turn this into a perpetual grow:thumbsup:

[Corkboyhigh]

ok the first two are barbra and ciara, any ideas why this happened? i know it doesnt look too bad but compared to the others they're dying
