Day 11 to Day 17. I am trying to do a daily pic update.
Temperature and humidity is stable, but I can't get the temperature higher than 22°C. So far the Papaya doesn't seem to mind and is growing beautifuly.
This week will decide how I am going to proceed with her. If she looks healty around day 14-16, I might do an early topping.
Update: She looked fine, so I topped her.
Update Day 17: After topping, the Papaya is growing just fine. Spotted a couple of yellow spots on the tips of the leaves. Might be the stress from toppiong and watering.
Cool stretching, well done. Note that the leaves are yellowish, which looks like N deficiency. Consider adding more fertilizer🤙 And the pH is too high, because of this, fertilizers may not be absorbed, I would advise you to level it to 6.3-6.5, otherwise there may be problems later
@DavidRayMan, thanks! I am adding a lot of N with the Sugar Royal. I am also using the Plagron Royalmix with the advised nutirent schedule, which explicitly mentions that is not necessary to adjust ph. Your Papaya looks indeed a lot greener. Let's hope it is just picture quality :)
@Lemonhazelover, it is one of those cheap chinese ones for your mobile phone (APEXEL 200). But i wouldn‘t recommend it. You have to get pretty close to your flower to get any picture at all. Basically touching it.
