Papapya Cookies 4 Static

purpleme In the first weeks, I had them outside. However, the weather wasn't cooperating, which led to insufficient growth - back inside and under the lights. I'll spare you the pictures. I'll only bring them back outside in 3-4 weeks when the lighting time and climate are a bit better. They are now showing their sex characteristics, but the growth is still not typical for flowering, which can only wait another day or two. Outside, they will get two Blumat drippers. PPFD is very inconsistent since the lamp is quite weak, which is being compensated for with the distance. At the top, it's 1200 micromol/m²/s, which quickly drops to 1/6 by the end of the plant. (This could potentially lead to morphological issues.) It's half under a Kingbrite QB Board 65W with UV & IR.

purpleme Well recovered from the too low temperatures in the past weeks, she is visibly happy to be exposed to her somewhat more pleasant environmental parameters. To promote growth, I kept the drybacks low and gave little EC. Now that her size is sufficient for me, I will move her into the generative phase with more EC and longer drybacks to encourage flower formation + keep the internodal distance short. The weather report is great. They will be going back outside for the next few days.

purpleme She really enjoyed the few good days outside. But had to go back inside. The weather isn't quite cooperating yet and is supposed to stay like this for the next 2 weeks. So far, I've mostly grown indoors.

purpleme In a few days, it's finally coming out. It's looking good. It already smells a bit, and the nodal spacing is good too. I'm satisfied.

purpleme Finally outside. She's also gotten some color and is growing satisfactorily. The Blumat took some time until I had it set up correctly, but it's working well now. I might switch the fertilizer to a long-term organic one, as there can be issues with nutrient delivery through the Blumat.

purpleme felt a bit slower in swelling. but I could be mistaken. otherwise, no abnormalities.

purpleme not good weather, not good VPD, way too few nutrients for the girls, way too little growth learning for outdoor: nutrients not just based on age, size & strain but also on VPD. low VPD - high EC and vice versa armed with this milestone, our grower is off to the next week

purpleme I don't think much will happen anymore. Just waiting until enough trichomes are amber.

purpleme finish line trichomes have not yet reached 30% Amber Smell #1 Creamy, Fruity, Sweet #2 Fruity, Floral, Sweet #3 Spicy, Sweet, Umami (meaty direction) #2 is probably the least interesting even though it has a solid profile and it also smells quite strong #1 is a bit better as it leans more towards dessert and I'm particularly excited about #3 it's not very loud yet, but that could all change
