Papaya Cookie Auto (FastBuds)

As anticipated, the seedling has successfully emerged and is looking strong with no signs of issues. I've been carefully misting it with water to keep the soil moist, ensuring it gets just the right amount of hydration. There's nothing particularly noteworthy at this stage, but I'm definitely curious and excited to watch its development over time. I’ll continue monitoring its growth closely!

Week 2 is progressing smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier with how strong and healthy the plant is looking. I'm giving her the full BioBizz nutrient suite, keeping the pH dialed in at 7, and maintaining a consistent watering schedule every 3 days. I started introducing low-stress training (LST) to help shape her growth. I'm really excited to see how she responds to it, but for now, it’s all about maintaining the current routine and letting her thrive!

Papaya Cookie is making impressive daily progress, growing strong with a nice compact structure, though not stretching quite as much as her taller, more leggy sister, Rainbow Melon. Every day, she’s showing steady development, proving her unique growth pattern and resilience.

This week, she really exploded in growth! She’s proving to be an exceptional grower, exhibiting strong and healthy development. The vigor she’s showing indicates that she’s likely going to be a productive plant. I’m considering tying her down to optimize light exposure and ensure she gets as much as possible, but I have to say, she’s already spreading out nicely on her own. Her leaves are lush and vibrant, which suggests she’s thriving in her environment. I’ve noticed a lot of new growth tips forming, and the overall structure looks promising for fruit or flower production. As I prepare to secure her for better light penetration, I'm also keeping an eye on her growth pattern, as I want to encourage her to fill out even more. I can’t wait to see how she develops over the next few weeks!

The plant has bloomed. I've had a few issues, with yellow leaves and brown spots on the leaves. I'm trying to fix the problem.
