PapaTerps Day one: all seeds dropped into RO (reverse osmosis) tap water, pH at 6.5.
The environment for this grow, will be a 3x3 (90x90cm) tent, so I'll be using a mixture of 5(18L) and 7(26L) gallon fabric pots.
* The Amnesia Haze Auto and the Papaya Cookies Auto will occupy the 7g/ 26L pots.
* The Kush Mass Auto will occupy the 5g/18L pots
I will start with top watering these ladies, and in about week two of veg, I will move to a ground fed watering system.
Note: The Papaya Cookies Auto entered the race about ten days after the Amnesia Haze Auto and Kush Mass Auto seeds were planted; she will follow the same process and I will update each stage with their progress.
* Amnesia Haze Auto
- day two: seed moved from water, to dark humid environment, on a dense cleaning sponge, saturated in tap water (RO, pH 6.5)
- day three: the seedling had a nice long tap root, so it was moved to the main grow pot.
-- Watered with 250ml RO pH 6.5.
- on day four, the seed shell was still attached, so I removed that with a small tweezers along with the membrane.
* Papaya Cookies Auto
- day two: seedling had a small tap root, so it was moved to the main grow pot.
-- Watered with 250ml RO pH 6.5.
-- I skipped the previous day two step, because it had been recommended by Chubbs (FastBuds) on a podcast with Mr Grow It (Garden Talk), to put the seed directly into the grow pot from the water.
- on day five, the seed shell had fallen off but a small portion of the membrane was removed with a small tweezers.
-- I had planted the seed a little too deep into the soil, so it took an extra day to appear...

PapaTerps Week 3 Veg.
- watered 500ml + nutrients.
-- back to the usual twice per week.
* Amnesia Haze Auto
- vigorous growth, she looks like shes going to be a monster!
- light defoliation started, removing just the lower leaves and nodes closest to the structure of the tent.
- started low stress training on all shoots with nodes; shown in picture.
* Papaya Cookies Auto
- nice growth again, burn marks from the neem oil are growing, but I'm not worried about it.
- light defoliation, removed lower most leaves.
- I decided not to perform any LST on this plant, yet...
A quick note on the Low Stress Training (LST) and defoliation: my plan is to remove axillary leaves, buds and nodes on the sides closest to the structural pole of the tent, from each plant, and then pull the main stem of each plant towards each releated tent pole - this is to maximise the light potential for everything under/below the main shoot. I will also attempt to keep an even-ish canopy.

PapaTerps Week 3 Veg.
- Introduced a 100L gravity-fed watering system, the plants are big enough to now pull water from the base of the fabric pot.
- I've also started to add bloom nutrients to the water.
- and I've attached the carbon filter to the blower - no more external smells π
* Amnesia Haze Auto
- pistils have started to appear on her stems, this one is about to start her flower phase! She has also started to smell good π
- getting bigger every day, shes putting the others to shame; but I still love them!
* Papaya Cookies Auto
- shes growing well and starting to mature, even though shes a few days behind the others, shes already overtaken the Kush Mass in size
- the pistils have also started to appear.

PapaTerps Week 3 Veg/Bloom.
- Watering with 100L gravity-fed watering system, with a pump to keep the water from stagnating.
- Gnat's have made their way into the environment, so I have introduced a number of traps to try and slow their numbers.
- Humidity has started to become an issue, so I have invested in a new dehumidifier - it should be here in a week or so π
* Amnesia Haze Auto
- She's getting bigger and bigger each day, I have high hopes for this one!
- A good amount of defolation required for her this week, the humidity in the tent has left some water on her leaves, so I've removed leaves up to about the second node up from the soil. I've also removed a couple of the larger leaves from the top, as they had started to cover the lower node/bud sites.
- Basically completed LST on this one, she is starting to stretch!
* Papaya Cookies Auto
- shes growing really well, so much so, that she required a good amount of defoliation around her base
- the pistils are really showing now, not long until we start seeing her flower.

PapaTerps * Amnesia Haze Auto:
- She smells and looks amazing
- the colas are big and dense
- 98% of her trichomes milky, with the other 2% being either clear or amber.
- I think we're getting close to harvest, so I just watered her with plane RO water PH'd to 6.3 and gave her one last heavy round of defoliation.
* Payapa Cookies Auto:
- her smell is so intense, a gentle touch of her flower and my hand will stink of her for hours!
- the colas could be bigger, but the internodal spacing is very good.
- 95% of her trichomes milky and around 5% are amber.
- again, I think we're getting close to harvest, so I just watered her with plane RO water PH'd to 6.3 and gave her one last heavy round of defoliation.
Her buds were dense and extremely sticky and her aroma is top shelf, fruity/papaya/mango - very pleasant! I can't wait to try her

PapaTerps I removed her from the gravity fed system last week, and flushed with pH'd 6.3 RO tap water for the last three watering cycles.
With a scope, I checked her trichomes, ~90% of which were Milky, with the remaining 10% split between amber and clear. Most of her pistils are now Amber also, with white pistils protruding only from new growth.
It's harvest time π€π» I will let her dry for ten days, before I cure her in glass jars.
Overall an enjoyable grow and a beautiful strain, my only criticism was the yield; I expected to get 80 grams, I
might only get 50 from this batch. I can't wait to see what she has to tell me in a few weeks ππ»
PapaTerps All inspected trichomes were Milky, she was watered pH'd to 6.3 without nutrients for the last ten or so days; she has not been watered in three days. So today, she being harvested π
She was a big girl, so I cut her into around 15 or so individual pieces and performed a wet trim.
She has a mild sweet candy smell, and has tall dense buds - she's a beauty and was really enjoyable to growππ»I can't wait to try her out in a few weeks π€π»
@UnorthadoxDude, thanks Dude! Just took her down from drying, the cure should take a few weeks - the smell is still there, and the buds are nice and dense - so far, so good!
