Papaya - Outside

[MrWhippy]

Thought ied add some more pics, dont ask me why i just admire my plants :stoned:

[MrWhippy]

The plants have been flowering for about a month now, and heres what they look like so far

[Sabrinaleena]

I also bought Papaya intending to grow it outside, as reading about it I noticed it was a low grower and I needed an inconspicuous growing. I haven't gotten the seeds in yet, but I'll be saving them for next season if they don't get in here soon. I know Papaya is supposedly an early finish and not sure if 4 months is long enough for them if I start them now. We definitely don't get any frost out here till December... but still the cold weather will slow them down too much.

I'm really impressed with your Papaya grow so far though. It's obvious those are well cared for girls there

sweeeeeeeeeeet harvest come sooooon

Hey Mr.Whippy :clap: Nice flowers, the bud formation is looking great. I to have Papaya and I might be growing them indoors. I just need to know one thing, how would you rate the smell of the papaya from 1 to 10? Is it a strong smell or barely a smell. I don't want my whole house smelling like a grow lab

[MrWhippy]

Sabrinaleena: Yes, nice and early they are indeed. I had my plants on 18hrs outside for its first 2months of growing and then after that i put them into 12hrs of light 12hrs of dark. Its coming up to about 4 - 4 half months old now and i wreakon ill be harvesting in 2weeks. Yes Papaya is a brilliant strain, this grow has been my 1st ever grow and i would recommend papaya to ANYONE.


BLaQLiGht: The smell is a very resiny, fruity, citrus like orangey smell. potency about 7/10, it wont stink your house out dont worry pal . Indoors, would you be using hydroponics, i would love to see your grow, make sure you make a diary so we can all have a look

[m.g.]

how are you managing your 18 hours of light outside? are you carrying them all back and forth to control it? they're flowering so early in the season too...are you in australia? it's just hard relating to them without the details...

[MrWhippy]

ah yea sorry mate. No i live in England and yea, i have ma plants in plant pots so i put them in greenhouse at 7am and then bring the plants indoors into pitch black room at 7pm. been growing them since march and i started the 12:12 at begining of june.

Tried a bit

About a month into the flowering stage i thought ied test my buds so far and i was very pleased with result. Smell is a very Citrus'y, resiny and very potent. I cheated a bit, (quick dried the bit i tried) so i doubt its as nice as if it were dried propperly, but was still very nice. my fingers got nice n sticky whilst i was rolling my joint so looks like resin content is nice and high. The high was very nice, best high ive had from weed in a while, i tried my bud in a Vapouriser and i had a laugh and watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
I am planning on harvesting my Papaya in about 2weeks.



HARVESTING IN 2WEEKS TIME!!!!

Doesn't mean i will stop growing for this year though. I have just purchased myself some LowRyder and i am very looking foward to making a 2nd grow diary and document there growth. I have never grown an autoflowering strain before and i think it will be very interesting. I shall create another thread called "LowRyder - Outside so keep a look out if your interested in growing LowRyder.

[Sabrinaleena]

Well, my Papaya came in today from buydutchseeds.com. I'm really tempted to start 5 of them right now and save the other 5 for next season. After seeing your grow I'm getting antsy!

I'm also really interested in the lowryder. If I do decide to pick up any of those I'll start those next season as well, for an outside in the ground grow, not in containers. I like the whole concept behind them because they are autoflowering, low THC content (I'm a lightweight and it doesn't take much to get me stoned), I only smoke a couple times a week, if that.

Right now I have 10 seeds in peat pots of Nirvana's Swiss Miss. It looks like all or most of them are set to germinate soon. I'll be starting a pic journal of that as soon as they break out. Thanks for keeping us up to date!
