Papaya Cookies Auto Living Soil. Week 0 - Living Soil

MrMaabra Den Samen habe ich von 24FastBuds und ist seit der Legalisierung in Deutschland die 5. Sorte die ich von 24FastBuds anbaue.Start am Freitag, 12.12.2025 mit Floating im Wasserglas, bis der Samen aufpoppt. Danach in einen ungedüngten Kokostabs gesteckt und mit dem Tab direkt ab in den Living-Soul-Stofftopf. Insgesamt waren es vier Tage, bis das Pflänzchen die Erde durchstoßen hatte. Ich nutze nur Leitungswasser ohne PH-Anpassung und ohne irgendwelchen Zusätzen, auch kein CalMag. Ich wende LST und Topping an, weil ich wenig Platz habe und mein 60x60x140cm hohes Zelt auf meiner Waschmaschine im Badezimmer steht. Leider hatte ich es versäumt, von der Keimphase Fotos zu machen. —————————— The seed is from 24FastBuds and it’s the 5th strain I’ve grown from them since legalization in Germany. I started on Friday, December 12th, 2025, by floating the seed in a glass of water until it popped. Then, I placed it into an unfertilized coco coir tab and put the tab directly into the living soil fabric pot. It took a total of four days for the seedling to break the surface. I’m using only tap water without any pH adjustment or additives—no CalMag either. I use LST and topping because space is limited; my 60x60x140cm tent is sitting right on top of my washing machine in the bathroom. Unfortunately, I missed taking photos during the germination phase.

MrMaabra Um die 75% Luftfeuchtigkeit zu erreichen, stelle ich einen abgeschnittenen PET-Flaschenboden in den ersten beiden Wochen über das Pflänzchen. Damit das Living Soil nicht so schnell austrocknet, nutze ich spezielle Stoffabdeckungen für den Topf. —————————— To reach about 75% humidity, I place a cut-off PET bottle bottom over the seedling for the first two weeks. To prevent the living soil from drying out too quickly, I’m using special fabric covers for the pot.

MrMaabra I removed the fabric cover in the 2nd week. The handling while watering was too cumbersome for me, so I got straw, chopped it up, and applied a 3cm layer. It works perfectly for watering. Otherwise, still just tap water without pH adjustment.

MrMaabra So, in the third week, LST begins and before that, I top above the third node to get 6 main stems. I use garden wire for that.

MrMaabra Throughout the week, I keep doing LST as needed so that the main structure can develop. The lady is doing wonderfully. Due to the Living Soils, I have a few fungus gnats that I'm combating with yellow sticky traps on the tent walls.

MrMaabra For LST, I also used clips to force the main stems to spread out more. Unfortunately, I wasn't careful enough and broke a main stem - that annoys me. But hey, there's always a first time, and now I've experienced it for the first time. That left me with only 5 main stems. Otherwise, the little lady is developing beautifully. She's looking nice and healthy in green. So far, Living Soil is doing a great job. Let's keep it going like this.

MrMaabra We are fully in the stretch and pre-flowering stage. The Dane is continuing to develop beautifully. She's slowly starting to smell a bit. Still a relaxed grow - just water regularly, otherwise... Let it Grow!

MrMaabra The lady is fully in bloom and the smell is getting more intense - sweet, fruity. However, the first signs of deficiency are already visible on the leaves. Doesn't matter, though, because I'm not intervening and want to see if the Living Soil provides enough nutrients until the end.

MrMaabra The buds continue to develop very well. The stretch is over, and the plant is now 38cm tall. The light is currently at 70% power. At the end of the week, I set the SANlight to 80% power for the final two weeks. The buds are getting thicker and thicker, and the scent is also becoming more intense. The trichomes are developing beautifully and are even visible to the naked eye. There’s zero nutrient stress thanks to the living soil. Such a relaxed grow.

MrMaabra The buds continue to develop beautifully in the third week of flowering – the lady is now in her 8th week overall. The scent has become very sweet and fruity. And I’m repeating myself here: I’ve never had a grow this relaxed; you could almost call it boring. Even now, I feel like my first living soil project is a complete success.

MrMaabra So, it's getting autumnal this week and with that the hint that we are in the final phase. The pistils are also turning orange-brown. I uploaded the entire grow retrospectively today. Set the SANlight Evo 1.5 to 100% power (190 watts) for the last two weeks. Checked the trichomes for the first time: they are still 50/50 milky and clear. The smell is now very strong, sweet, and fruity. Anyone who has ever eaten and smelled papaya will recognize the scent. The buds are getting firmer and heavier. I'm getting almost daily dry leaves that I remove. It's clear to see that the plant is pulling nutrients from the leaves. Is the Living Soil running out of power at the end? We will see ...

MrMaabra The 11th week starts and what can I say? I haven't had buds of this magnitude from an autoflower before. The buds are getting thicker and are very sticky. This could be due to the Living Soil I'm using for the first time or the pot size, as I'm also using a 30-liter pot volume for the first time. Or of course the combination of both. I can make a rough comparison in a few weeks since my second grow is also running with Living Soil, but in a smaller pot with only 15 liters of volume. Then I can assess it better - but I think this grow is currently amazing and I'm completely satisfied. Regarding the buds... The trichomes are mostly milky, but there are still no amber ones. I estimate they will be ready for harvest in about two weeks. Otherwise, I got an analysis of my tap water and it shows that the pH value is between 7.4-7.6, which I'm now reporting.

Happy Harvest Day!

Papaya Cookies Auto Fast Buds

10/10

Rated

This strain was a true joy—almost boringly easy—in combination with my setup (Living Soil) and the topping and LST techniques I used. The Papaya Cookies Auto handled the topping and LST very well. In the end, she took about 10 days longer than specified, totaling exactly 12 weeks from seedling to harvest. She gives off a very strong aroma, and my carbon filter is working overtime. If you’re trying to keep your grow a secret and have sensitive neighbors, you’ll have a hard time here. It’s even more intense now during the drying phase. She smells sensational, has excellent trichome production, and produced really fat buds in the end. During the wet trim, my gloves got sticky fast; I ended up going through four pairs. The yield is impressive. Even though I lost one branch (out of six) during LST because it snapped, I managed to get 702g of wet weight (after wet trimming) from a single plant in a 60x60x140cm tent (0.36 sqm). With all six branches, it would have easily been around 840g. No issues with mold or anything else, but I always kept the humidity below 63% during the critical phase, so I was never worried. Conclusion: Once again, a great experience with seeds from 24 Fast Buds—they aren't my favorite breeder for nothing. As soon as the buds are dry, I’m going to have the THC levels tested this time.

Papaya Cookies Auto Living Soil. Week 12

1/28

MrMaabra The time had finally come yesterday. At the end of week 12, the trichomes showed exactly the ratio I prefer: 10% amber, mostly milky, and a few clear ones. Harvest time! I am very happy with the results of my first living soil grow. Great buds—five main colas (it could have been six, but I snapped a branch during LST in the early weeks and couldn’t save it), along with plenty of high-quality A, B, and C buds. I’ll use the C buds in five days for flower rosin, and the rest will be dried in Dryferm bags before being enjoyed in the vape. As soon as I have the dry weight, I’ll post an update here. For now, enjoy the pictures of my harvest. A huge thanks to everyone who followed, liked, and commented on my grow. Keep on growing!

@Fast_Buds, thank you so much. It was a real treat! And after curing, I can say that the Papaya Cookies Auto really delivers! Having a smoke with the Group, it's a lovely, energizing, and euphoric high that gradually transitions into physical relaxation. And if you vape again quickly enough, the high lasts longer before your eyelids start drooping. I love the effect. Then the cherry on top—with extra whipped cream: Great papaya aroma and fruity. Floral notes as well as flower rosin. Fantastic!
