Outdoor Grow Log (Papaya & Coletrain Fem) Southern U.S.

[talonkardel]

Okay! update time... Sadly no pics yet, but i can promise you that all of my babies are looking healthy and happy

I had a few seeds i harvested from last years grow that i also started at the same time as the papaya, everyone is around 9" tall so far, i just finished transplanting 8 of the papaya, one of the seeds never sprouted though :wtf:

And one had its first set of leaves gnawed on by annoying little ants to a knub, but amazingly its caught root and is on its 4th set of true leaves now, so ill be transplanting those into a bigger pot soon enough.

Still trying to find a good deal on a camera, my phone does not do them justice with quality. sorry


Well anyways... i've got another whole 4-5 months before harvest time, lots of work still to be done .

Hopefully I'll get another good male-female ratio this time around, i plan on fertilizing a couple branches so i can continue the strain next year, but not there yet so i can only hope all goes well!

Stay green all! ill find a camera, hopefully sooner rather than later.
:hippy:

Outdoor Grow Log (Papaya & Coletrain Fem) Southern U.S. Well its that time of year again, i placed an order for Nirvana's Papaya from attitude seed bank a week ago, should be arriving within the week, so this is more of a preliminary setup :D I've read alot of great reviews for the papaya strain as outdoor grows go, the attitude seedbank also is sending me a Feminized Cole train seed, dont have alot of information on the strain so if anyones got a thought lemme know! Last year i cut it close with my bagseed, but in the end i got great results, Rating: 5

Update time! So i left town to help a family member for about a month, had a friend take care of my babies, and he did an awesome job .

So when i left, they were just starting (only 1ft tall) . I come home to see they're showing sex and are between 4-5 1/2 ft tall now.

After sorting the boys out and the girls, which the signs are pretty definite, i ended up with 5 papaya girls, one bagseed girl, 4 papaya males, 1 bagseed male.

Now comes the tricky part of transplanting them into their new 25gal homes.
Which by the looks of things, will pay off in the end.. i don't exaggerate often but these babies are going to be pushing 10ft + . Veritable monsters
I pulled all but the one papaya male, and moved him accordingly.
There will be about 200yds and a 40yd thick forest separating the boy from the girls... which i would hope is far enough.

I'm going to be waiting another month until i even consider switching to flowering nutes tho. Or at least until i can confirm that they truly are in full flower mode.

I will have photos coming up this friday when i get my cam hooked up. You will not be dissapointed i know i wasn't.

I'm hoping my final product will look something like StinkyAttic's papaya :rasta:

Stay green everyone i will return.

Okay so as promised i finally have pics.. They aren't high res being that they came from my phone camera :wtf:

But you can see how big they've gotten so far . I'm also under the impression that my 2 bigger papaya ladies have gone into flowering, as such i've started them on a Big Bloom / Tiger Bloom Nutrient regiment.

Also, i wanted to know if anyone can confirm this for me, when you take your males, boil them in a pot of water for 20 minutes and strain the mixture into a liter bottle, to create a liquid nutrient mixture to feed your ladies. Is this for real? I'm debating feeding them the mixture per your response

[StickyBuds1987]

man they look good keep it up i dont know abotu boiling the males for ferts never heard of that

[talonkardel]

So! i figured its due time for another update..

I'm pushed to believe that all 3 of my 4 papaya ladies are in full flower mode now. Hundreds of Calyx's swarm the internodes. They are still growing at a pretty decent rate :thumbsup: .

My biggest girl is about 67" tall now, followed up by her 60" Sister, and the 4ftX3ft bush. As seen in these pictures, I am however leaving out the other 3, they just aren't as amazing as these 3 .

I have converted my male into a Bonsai tree, i trimmed him down to 2 small nutty branches. Less chances for his pollen to float 300ft through 2 tree lines, and past a house to impregnate my bitches without my approval.

The heat is so extreme this time of year, I'm having to water them every day pretty much. It's getting up around 98 degrees already, and they are sitting in about 9 hours of direct sunlight every day. I've been giving them doses of Superthrive Big Bloom & Tigerbloom @ every feeding, and adding 1tsp of Big Grow every week for a steady supplement of nitrogen. Adding an extra gallon of straight water every other day to each girl.

I wont start using molasses again until they're about 4 more weeks into flower. But for now I'm happy with everyone's progress!

I'll have another update here in a week or two, peace stoners!

Wow your ladies are looking very sexy! I'm doing my first grow outdoor as we speak. I had an indoor setup but I didn't want the electric bill to go up so I decided to do my grow outdoors. I hope mine will come out looking like yours! I'll keep an eye out on your thread

[LetsSeeYa]

yeah, my digital camera happened to break right after last years harvest.....
But i got a good end game harvest . Aside from a couple lower branches that got impregnated almost pure Sensimilla buds. About 200G Dried in the end.

Putting pics up later, I really should have read more about the strain i was growing . All the papaya girls are pretty much in full bloom, been flowering for about 2-3 weeks now. Which i was hoping they would have a longer veg cycle, but according to every description of the strain it's an "Early Maturing" strain. So nix my hopes of having 10 ft beasts :wtf: But i suppose i can see light in the fact that everyone is healthy side from pruning dead fan leaves every other day.

It's odd though, they get no other form of light besides the sun, and we're going through 14-10 light-dark cycle right now. Just didn't think they would start to bloom until august . Either way, if everything goes through okay until harvest, it's looking like it will be somewhere around early September/Late august for the 2 bigger ladies.

Started feeding them molasses now, 1tbsp/gal every other watering. I sadly ran out of Fox Farms *Big Bloom* . I still have plenty of tiger bloom to go through harvest. Also adding a Tsp of Grow Big every week for a nice little shot of N

Anyways, I'll have a couple photos coming up later, i got myself a new piece! which i will also have a couple pics of
