Exotic Genetix White Gold and Papaya Bang Bang Living Soil
Scrubbed the grow room down with bleach, got the exhaust set up hopefully better to remove odors and starting the new year with a grow. Three seeds of each in a glass of water, put them in red Solo cups filled with B.A.S. 3.0 after 12 hours of water, under 24 watt T5 bulbs. 72 F 70% rH. Will start week one when 5 of the seeds have sprouted.
All papaya seeds sprouted a couple days ago, White Gold is much slower, one came up yesterday, one is just sprouting, one hasn't popped. Calling today, Jan 5 2025, Day One.
This is a little early entry, day 13 transplant, I will be out of town on business for 5 days. I've been watering the boxes with one gallon of water and .5 teaspoon Recharge once a week, last time was last week. Soil had a nice moistness for transplant. Seedlings roots looked good. Added 2 tablespoons each Craft Blend and Kashi Blend on top. Watered 300 ml each with Recharge. Moved light from 12" to 24" and put it at full intensity from 30%
My wife is in charge for the week, I told her not to water, just vacuum the overflow from the humidifier. Hoping there are no problems while I'm gone!
Plants not doing so great, the transplant was rather rushed, I would have let them stay in the smaller containers longer but I had to leave them for a week. There was a cold snap, soil is too cold and wet, leaves are drooping. Holding off on more water until they perk up and get past the shock, hopefully see some faster growth soon.
The two White Gold and one of the Papaya plants have recovered from shock and are growing and look healthy, two of the Papaya plants look stunted, aren't doing well, may have to pull them out and give the three good plants more room.
Removed 2 of the Papaya Bang plants, they stopped growing. That was from transplanting too soon, and the soil was too moist and compacted. While I was away the temperature dropped and this added to the shock. The surviving PBB looking good, WG is catching up
Getting some better growth now. May do a second topping on the Papaya plants, White Gold is much slower. Should be flipping to flower in the next week or two.
Went to 12/12 62 days after sprout. Top watering with mammoth p, build a bloom, pumpkin ferment and recharge, filling reservoirs in a day or two. The large papaya plant has been drinking quite a bit from the reservoir, white gold is sipping.
@MrGreen187, thank you, very slow growing though, finally moving along. I have to stop my helper from eating dirt, a bit nervous he will want a taste of bud soon!
Good luck to you for this Papaya bang bang!! I have two which are reaching the end of flowering, a smaller and Bushy pheno with thin and slender leaves, which smells of overripe papaya and vanilla, on a very nice earthy og background, and the other pheno is incredible , large from the start of the veg, medium stretch but with a very high yield (huge secondary buds), smell of exotic fruit candy
on the other hand, both herm slightly around the 4th week of flowering, be careful!
both are topshelf ++ quality
have fun 🌱🔥
burnout
