dinosdarko Beginning of Flowering Week 3: Bud formation is exploding on the 6-stem monster!
Welcome to my new update! My Papaya Frosting is now exactly in the 3rd week of flowering. The white hairs have been visible for about 11 days now, and the stretch is in full swing. The tops have gained an enormous height once again and are currently at [INSERT NEW HEIGHT HERE, 2.35 meters]!
Here’s the secret behind this massive structure: The plant is growing on a total of 6 massive main stems! I selected 5 extremely strong "legs" (side shoots) and left the original main stem intact, but only started to branch it out further from a height of 1 meter. If left unbent, the shoots would already be between 2.60 m and 3.00 m long! By tying them down flat with plant wire, I’ve perfectly directed this growth power outwards.
Across the entire 9m² of the Double-SCROG net, the first thick bud clusters are now forming everywhere. First scrog net at 1.40, second at 2.50m.
My split watering technique (60 liters total volume with dry soil):
* 30 liters: First clear water.
* 30 liters: The full organic bloom mix afterwards.
Current dosage (per liter of the fertilized 30L mix):
* 4 ml Biobizz Bio-Bloom (Maximum power for the bloom start)
* 2 ml Biobizz Top-Max (For resin and terpene production)
* 1-2 ml Biobizz Bio-Grow (To keep the soil life active)
The massive greenhouse provides perfect airflow with its large windows and roof openings. Thank you so much for the amazing support and all the likes on my videos!

dinosdarko 🌿 Greenhouse Monster - Update Papaya Frosting (Barney's Farm) 🌿Overview & Growth: We have officially reached the end of week 3 of flowering, and my Papaya Frosting from Barney's Farm is turning into an absolute tree! Fortunately, the hormonal growth spurt (Stretch) is quickly coming to an end, which was about time – the lady has put on a massive show and currently stands at an impressive height of 2.40 meters. Bent.Training & Structure: I put a lot of work into the selection and training in the early phase. I selected the plant to have 5 main stems (Main-Lining) and continuously pulled the main shoots from left to right. The result? An absolutely crazy crown diameter of nearly 3 meters from all sides! The massive main stem is extremely woody and already measures a proud nearly 7 cm in diameter at the base. To accommodate this enormous mass of plant tops, I’m using a double-net setup. The first scrog net is positioned at 1.40 m, and the second, upper net is firmly mounted at 2.50 m. Currently, the highest tops have exactly 10 cm of space left until they reach the second net. Since the stretch is over, she will perfectly latch into the upper net in the next few days. This will give her the physical stability she needs for heavy flower production in the coming weeks. The distance between the nodes (internodes) is about 2.5 cm, super compact and healthy.Leaf Removal & Environment: This week, a radical maintenance session is on the agenda. With a diameter of 3 meters, an impenetrable jungle forms damn quickly. I performed a thorough lollipopping and completely cleaned the lower third of the plant. All shady, tiny flower sites and large fan leaves at the bottom are gone. This way, 100% of the energy from the thick stem is directed straight into the upper main buds. It also massively improves air circulation at the bottom, as can be clearly seen in the pictures of the exposed stem.Regarding the Environment: My greenhouse is 4 m wide, 8 m long, 3 m high, and sits on a deep foundation. I am very lucky to be able to keep all the large windows (1.70 m x 1.20 m) and the big main door completely open 24/7, as the greenhouse is located in a secured garden. Together with a continuous 3 cm wide air gap in the roof, the chimney effect works perfectly to immediately expel moisture and prevent condensation.Watering & Fertilization: This monster has a massive metabolism and gets thirsty every 4 to 5 days. I always water only when the top 2–3 cm of the soil are dry, so that the organic soil life in the deeper root zones remains active and happy.Clear water afterwards: Immediately after, I massively water with 40 to 50 liters of regular tap water. This flushes the nutrients deep into the soil, where the huge root system can absorb them perfectly. The plant loves this rhythm and shows no signs of deficiencies or over-fertilization. The first beautiful white hairs (stigmas) are popping up everywhere and stacking closely together. Since this is the extremely resin-rich Papaya Frosting, the first sparkling trichomes are already appearing on the young flowers. On to week 4 for the real swelling of the buds and the famous Cali frost! 🚀

dinosdarko Tomorrow officially marks the start of week 5 of flowering, and this massive Papaya Frosting (Barney's Farm) [Barney's Farm] is turning into an absolute specimen! With an impressive height of 2.50 meters, deeply rooted in the mother earth, it has completely stopped its height growth (Stretch). From now on, it is putting 100% of its energy into bud development and trichome production.
Climate & Environment: The greenhouse setup is working flawlessly. Although autumn is setting in and outside temperatures drop to a cool 5 °C to 11 °C starting at 1:00 AM, it remains completely dry inside and outside the greenhouse. No condensation, no dew on the leaves. My controlled air system runs all night and keeps the relative humidity safely in the optimal range. With 50 cm of space between the top shoots and the greenhouse roof, air circulation above the canopy is perfect.
Plant Structure & Training: The system with the two support nets is proving to be a lifesaver. The first net is at 1.40 m, the second at about 2.20 m. The main shoots are growing straight through the mesh, giving them exactly the support they need for the enormous weight in the coming weeks.
Defoliation Strategy: I have heavily defoliated the inside of the plant and left only the large fan leaves on the outside. This creates a natural "chimney effect," allowing air to flow freely through the center – optimal for air exchange and perfect protection against mold.
Lollipopping: Weak shoots below the 1.00-meter mark, which were completely in the shade, were consistently removed to direct all energy upwards into the main buds.
Bud & Resin Development: The "frost" (resin formation) is absolutely brilliant for the end of week 4! Looking at the buds around the 1.30-meter mark, you can see extremely short internodal distances and very dense flower clusters. The pistils are long, snow-white, and full of vitality. The sugar leaves are already covered with a thick, sticky layer of white trichomes. Due to the cool temperatures in the second half of the night, I am very curious to see if the plant will show beautiful, dark autumn colors (purples) in the next two weeks. It is absolutely healthy, vigorous, and ready to gain massive weight in the coming weeks!

dinosdarko Welcome to the update! The 5th week of flowering is over, and we officially start week 6 today. I have to say, the Papaya Frosting from Berner Farms is really bringing me joy right now. The genetics show incredible vitality here in the greenhouse.
The foundation and structure:
Let's start from the bottom: The stem has now reached a circumference of a proud 6.3 cm. There's some serious mass behind it, almost like a small tree. I never topped the plant, so the natural dominance has been completely preserved. Instead, I trained it on five strong side branches and the main stem. This structure allows for optimal nutrient distribution. My homemade greenhouse (8m long, 4m wide, 3m high) provides the perfect space for it. The air circulation through the large windows works great, the construction is completely sealed at the bottom, and the plant is responding excellently to the Biobizz Bio·Bloom fertilizer.
My canopy management with two nets:
To keep everything tidy at this size, I’m working with two SCROG nets. The lower net is positioned at 1.40 m to stabilize the branches. I originally planned the upper net at 2.50 m, but I’ve now flexibly lowered it to 2.30 m because the shoots were right underneath it. This way, I get perfect support into the crown. The main colas are now exactly 20 cm above the net. Towards the roof, I still have a good 40 to 50 cm buffer, which is important to prevent heat buildup under the panels.
Flower development and measurements:
The flower structure is phenomenal for this stage of flowering. The internodal distances are extremely short, and the buds are stacking up really densely. On the middle branches, you can already see interconnected flower strands of almost 20 cm in length.
But the absolute showpiece is the untopped main stem: The main cola measures over 50 cm of pure flower length and stands tall above the upper net. Since no shoot tip was cut off, all the power is going in here – the buds are growing into one massive club.
Fresh, white hairs are sprouting everywhere, and a nice, resinous layer is slowly forming on the sugar leaves – the namesake "frost" is starting to come through. The scent in the greenhouse is also becoming more intense, with a really sticky-sweet note of ripe papaya. Now the buds just need to gain some density in the coming weeks. I’ll keep you updated!

dinosdarko Weekly Report: Papaya Frosty – End of Flowering Week 6 / Start of Week 7
From the foundation to the roof: When selection meets pure natural power
Today is the last day of the sixth flowering week, and starting tomorrow, we officially enter flowering week 7. My Papaya Frosty is now showing its true, monumental splendor under the polycarbonate panels of my greenhouse. This greenhouse is no ordinary setup, but a real ecosystem: 4 meters wide, 8 meters long, and a proud 3 meters high. It rests on a solid foundation that is half a meter deep in the ground, while the roof is constructed with strategic air circulation vents. To give nature maximum freedom, doors and windows are wide open 24/7. The result? It has been pouring rain outside since last night, but inside, a permanent, natural airflow flows through the dense greenery. Not a single damp spot, no standing water on the leaves – just the perfect greenhouse climate for the upcoming final phase.
The Foundation: A Pipeline in Mother Earth
Everything about this plant begins in the hidden depths. By being planted directly in the deep mother earth, it has been able to build a root network that knows no pot boundaries. Anyone who looks down at the ground and measures with a ruler can immediately see the result: The main stem has reached an incredible diameter of 6.5 centimeters at the base. It is massively woody, deeply furrowed, and works like a gigantic hydraulic pipeline, continuously pumping power upwards. This foundation allowed me to use a radical cutting technique. I have consistently selected the plant for the main shoot and five strong legs. Everything below a height of 1 meter was rigorously lollipopped – no energy is wasted here on weak popcorn bud wood. Only from this one-meter mark were the shoots allowed to unfold, which are now held in check by two SCROG nets. The first net secures the structure at 1.40 meters, while the second catches the force at 2.20 meters.
The Middle Level: Rock-Hard Bud Mass
The pictures from the middle level (between 1.40 m and 2.20 m) show what this selected energy means. The buds here are already over 5 centimeters thick – pure flower structure, without the protruding leaves. What fascinates me the most at the end of this 6th week: Every single bud, down to the smallest one in the partial shade, is already completely firm and rock-hard. The flower cups are stacked closely together, while a dense, frosty carpet of crystal-clear trichomes covers the sugar leaves. The long stigmas are still flawlessly snow-white in the sap. That’s the sign: Here, mass is still actively being built. Yesterday was the last time for feeding – organic with Biobizz and Top Max. Just in time for the start of week 7, the pure autumn phase begins, in which the plant starts to slowly draw from its own reserves.
The View Upwards: The 60-Centimeter Main Mast
But the real spectacle is happening at the top, where the plant touches the ceiling. The main tips tower at a dizzying height of 2.50 to 2.60 meters. When you measure from the very top bud downwards, the absolute standout feature of this grow is revealed: The main mast forms a continuous, majestic flower structure of well over 60 centimeters in length! Interestingly, the ripening process here is reversed. While the middle level is already maturing compactly, the huge main mast directly under the roof is in the absolute focus of sunlight. This massive light energy continuously drives the tip – it keeps pushing vital, bright green leaves and fresh flower levels upwards. It simply doesn’t want to stop growing. It’s a fascinating balancing act between the already ripening middle and the unbridled forward thrust of the crown.
We are now heading into the home stretch starting tomorrow with week 7. The foundation is set, the bud mass is extremely dense, and the air circulation couldn’t be better. I’m curious to see how much this 60-cm giant cola will swell in the coming weeks as the earth slowly starves. Stay tuned – the final sprint has just begun!

dinosdarko Flowering Week 8 (Start) – Papaya Frosting
October has begun, and we are now at the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. Outside, autumn is showing its unpleasant side with continuous rain and extremely high humidity. In the greenhouse, however, the climate is absolutely perfect. Not a drop of water gets in, and everything stays bone dry. In the mornings, the greenhouse is completely damp on the outside, but inside it is totally dry – the air circulation is just phenomenal. I have completely stopped the nutrient supply as planned since last week, so the plant is now starting to lighten up a bit and draw the last reserves from the leaves.
Development of the buds:
The flowers are currently gaining massive weight and density. However, the plant is not maturing evenly everywhere:
• Front and middle area: Here, the huge main branches and the flowers from the middle level are fully in the mass phase. One main branch measures an unbelievable 60 centimeters from hand to tip! Even in the middle area, the bud clusters are already over 15 cm long and 5 to 6 cm wide. These buds are already quite plump and fleshy at their core, but on the surface, they are still continuously pushing out fresh, light green flower cups. There are still plenty of long, upright white hairs (stigmas) there, which shows that this area is still diligently producing new flower mass.
• Back area: This part is significantly further along in the ripening process (pre-ripened). Here, the structure of the buds has already completely closed, and the cups are maximally swollen. The white hairs have quickly dried out completely, curled up, and turned deep brown. Additionally, there is already an extremely dense, icy layer of resin ("frost") on the flowers and sugar leaves.
The buds are making optimal use of the approaching week 8 to swell from the inside out and become maximally compact.

dinosdarko Papaya Frosik XXL
Schlagzeile: Gestaffelte Teilernte der Papaya Frosik XXL – Sicherheit geht vor! ✂️🍂
Pflanzen-Update & Training:
Meine Papaya Frosik XXL ist zu einem absoluten Monster herangewachsen! Die Pflanze ist jetzt stolze 3 Meter hoch, extrem gut trainiert und dank eines mehrstufigen SCROG-Netzes perfekt gestützt. Der Hauptstamm hat an der Basis einen beeindruckenden Durchmesser von fast 7 cm erreicht – eine wahre Nährstoffautobahn! 🚀
Aktuelle Situation im Gewächshaus:
Obwohl ich das Klima im Gewächshaus die ganze Zeit über sorgfältig kontrolliert habe, bin ich heute gezwungen, mit einer gestaffelten Teilernte zu beginnen.
Folgendes Phänomen tritt bei diesem Riesen auf: Dank der stabilen Klimazone ist der mittlere Teil der Pflanze bereits perfekt reif und unglaublich dicht. Gleichzeitig erhalten die obersten Blütenstände (die sich etwa 40 cm unter dem Dach befinden) die maximale Licht- und Wärmeintensität, wodurch sie weiterhin aktiv frische, weiße Stempel bilden.
Erntestrategie & Schimmelprävention:
Um das absolute Maximum aus dieser Ernte herauszuholen und jegliche Risiken auszuschließen, ernte ich ab heute in mehreren Etappen:
• Zuerst der mittlere Bereich: Die Blütenstände im mittleren Bereich sehen phänomenal aus – extrem dicht, kompakt und komplett mit Trichomen überzogen!
• Null Toleranz für bernsteinfarbene Trichome / Schimmelrisiko: Bei so dicken und fleischigen Blütenständen steigt das Risiko von Blütenfäule im Gewächshaus rapide an. Deshalb lasse ich die Trichome nicht zu stark bernsteinfarben werden. Sobald ich auch nur den geringsten Anflug von Bernstein sehe (schon die ersten Blütenköpfe, die sich verfärben), werden diese Blütenstände sofort geerntet! Mein Ziel ist ein sauberes, vollständig milchiges Trichomprofil für maximale Potenz und Frische, ohne Schimmelrisiko.
• Die Blütenstände ernten: Die oberen Blütenstände, die noch weiße Härchen bilden, bleiben vorerst am Leben. Durch das Entfernen des mittleren Bereichs erhält die Pflanze einen massiven Energieschub, um oben vollständig auszureifen.
Die ersten Testblüten aus der Mitte sind von absolut erstklassiger Qualität – das tropische Papaya-Aroma ist schon jetzt unglaublich! ❄️
Weekly Report: Stage 2 – Controlled Drying Process (Papaya Frosting)
Following the successful harvest of the Papaya Frosting (Barney’s Farm x Doja Exclusive), Stage 2 has officially commenced: the controlled drying process. Since this is an extremely resinous genetic profile with a sensitive, tropical terpene mix, the grower is utilizing a very slow and gentle drying program to fully preserve the valuable aromas.
The climate inside the spacious drying room is precisely managed and kept constant at an optimal room temperature of 16 °C (60.8 °F) and a stable relative humidity of 49% to 50%. By maintaining the humidity just under the 50% threshold, any risk of mold formation is completely eliminated. A large, high-performance ventilation system ensures continuous air exchange, while an oscillating fan provides gentle, indirect air circulation throughout the room to prevent stagnant air pockets.
During the initial phase, the plants are hanging upside down as whole branches with all their full leaves intact. This method serves as a natural shield, preventing the dense, "frosty" buds of the Papaya Frosting from losing their moisture too quickly. As soon as the flowers reach a certain baseline dryness, they will be carefully removed from the stems and transferred onto a drying net. This deliberate, slow approach guarantees an optimal breakdown of chlorophyll, eliminating harshness and allowing the distinct sweet papaya and mango flavor profile to truly shine in the final product.
