Oyziphar As a price for the most beautiful photo in the photo contest from De Gouden Gieter (The Golden Watering Can), I received from the sponsor Organic Earth growshop in Maastricht, a selection of their finest products and 2 packs of their own brand of seeds. In this diary I will try out the Sour Papaya seeds π

Oyziphar Nice weather , lots of sun π no rain
I selected and transplanted 3 plants to 14 liter containers. I got rid of one plant because she was weaker πͺ
In each pot I used Lightmix Bio with 2 Growing Tabs ; 42gr Biovin, 14gr Soil Starter Mix and 14gr Flower Safer (mycorrhiza)
I gave the plants a liquid booster with OPF 7:2:3 ; Fulvic 25 ; Yuccah ; Biovin liquid ; Earthworm compost extract.

Oyziphar It's been a busy week :
π I defoliated the plant by removing 8- 10 very big fan leaves, to allow more sunlight to reach the lower branches
π I took 2 cutting of my plant(s)
π I removed the six lowest branches and used the cuttings to make cuttings.
π I started the light deprivation technique by moving the plants to my darkroom to force flowering.
ππππEvery morning at 8:30 am I move the plants in the greenhouse.
ππππEvery evening at 8:30 pm I move the plants inside the darkroom.
π Once a week I give the plants a liquid booster with OPF 4:2:8 ; Fulvic 25 ; Yuccah ; Biovin liquid ; Earthworm compost extract.
