The seed started quickly until reaching the third node. After that the veggie growth got stuck somehow. Light and temperature might have been shifting too much, in addition to the early transfer to soil. The young lady was definitely stressed and it took her about 10 days to recover from that. Papaya Zaop started growing again and it was all under natural conditions outside. Wind was light and constant, which helped her get stronger. I started LST immediately after she started growing again.
These weeks were full of sunshine and sweet summer weather.
Growing controlled in size towards all directions allowed her to stretch out. First unwanted side arms were carefully observed and removed as soon as decided upon
At this stage paused her growth completely for about 7 days again. I was unsure what to do and gave her some time. Suddenly she decided to get into early bloom stage and push for first signs to move on. After that the growth started back again and she started smelling fruity on the leaves.
When bloom kicked in all went fast suddenly
I was not too complicated, but certainly challenging to overcome the growth stop twice. I had no issues at all with bugs, flies or any other guests. The growth was quite symmetric and the genetic seems to be forgiving when it comes to minor mistakes. I broke a branch in the beginning twice and still had the impression that everything went smooth. Die to natural light and substitution for the last 6h of the day. She was allowed to grow in her own pace in sync with the summer breeze. Overall a good experience with decent smell and average bud size. I think it would be worth growing her in a tent under more controlled environment and maximize the yield. For an easy summer grow it worked totally fine for me
May the cure begin.. No trimming before drying out. I keep it at steady 20-25° and humidity around 55-60%
I turned out to 17 gr dry trimmed Buds in the end
