Welp, here's an attempted ongoing of my current Nirvana Papaya grow

10 seeds popped 10/05. Vegged for the first 2 weeks 24/0 in my 150W HPS/70W MH Dual spectrum cabinet, then moved to a 24/0 schedule in my 240W 6-tube flouro setup. Fed 1 tsp Fox Farms GB per gallon once the first set of leaves started dying off, then once more a week later. Very slow growth compared to the previous AI seeds from same vendor. One (back left corner) was definitely the runtiest and the front right was the strongest. The runt turned bright yellow and would not get any bigger through several weeks. Since it was dying and I had nine healthier ones, I sacrificed it for room and piece of mind. Maybe it couldn't handle the food, I still am not sure.

Up through the 30th day, the one larger plant dominated the others. All were vegged for 30 to 36 days, and I put a couple in the bloomroom at a time, a few per day. No clones taken, I figured if they turn out decent I'll try and reveg the best one. When they were put into 12/12, none of them had shown sex yet. Only 3 turned out female - the largest one and 2 others.. 3 of 9 (Well 10, dunno what the runt would have been)... The AI's turned out 4/10 so the papaya seemed on par with my Nirvana odds..

Fast forward to yesterday, day 23 of 12/12. You can see the distinct size difference of the 2 phenos I seem to have gotten. The pots are 9" tall for reference - the one large plant is easily twice the size of either of the other two. With the close up bud pics, the one with the trichomes is one of the smaller plants, and the large one, as you can see, has yet to develop any. Absolutely zero smell so far - even gently rubbing the stem/stalk I only get a real faint weedlike smell. Time will tell if this is a keeper or not.
