Tobi420Grow Just like with the Honey Dipper from Greenhouse Seeds, I placed the seed in a damp paper towel on 08/19 and put it in a Ziploc bag to keep it nice and moist. Lo and behold, with the Papaya Soir Spritz, it's the same as with the Honey Dipper; the root is already sprouting two days later, and now it has been placed in its little pot and moistened.

Tobi420Grow 7 Tage nach Keimung wurde die Papaya umgetopft in ihren Endtopf . Dazu wurde ins Substrat auch der Green House Feeding BioGrow beigefügt. Soweit macht die Papaya einen guten Eindruck und sieht gesund aus.
In der 1.Woche ist nicht viel passiert außer dass sie 5 cm groß geworden ist und so langsam das 2te. Blattpaar anfängt zu wachsen.

Tobi420Grow Update – Growth since last Sunday
Since last Sunday, the Papaya Sour Spritz has made some really good growth progress. It is now 13 days old.
Within a week, significantly more leaf mass has developed, and the new shoots are growing nice and compact. The leaves look healthy and a strong green, without any noticeable deficiency symptoms. The stem is also slowly becoming more stable, and the plant is starting to get noticeably bushier.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the development for this week. Now it's all about letting it grow steadily and waiting for the next boost.
Next week, there will be another update.

Tobi420Grow The Papaya Sour Spritz has developed really nicely in the third week. It shows strong, healthy growth and is already forming a beautiful, compact structure.
At the end of the week, there was the next important step: topping, followed by watering with 1 liter of water and immediately starting with LST to guide the branches evenly outward and build a wider, more open plant structure.
Now it's time to let it grow and see how it reacts to the training. Week 4 can come!

Tobi420Grow The Papaya Sour Spritz has evolved significantly over time. At the beginning, it was trained flat and wide using LST to bring the shoots to as even a height as possible and improve light distribution.
For this, the shoots were carefully bent outward and secured with stakes. As time went on, smaller and weaker side shoots were also removed, allowing the plant to focus more on the stronger main shoots.
In the last pictures, you can clearly see how a distinct structure with the dominant main shoots has developed. While the plant looks less bushy than it did at times, the remaining shoots are strategically positioned and have more space.
Finally, the remaining main shoots were topped again to further branch the structure and encourage multiple evenly growing shoot tips.
Additionally, the plant is now receiving BioEnhancer from Green House Feeding through the watering.
Now it's time to let it grow and observe how it develops further.
Training: LST / tying down with stakes + removing small and weak side shoots + re-topping the main shoots.

Tobi420Grow Update on my beautiful Papaya Sour Spritz
Since the last update, the Papaya Sour Spritz has really developed beautifully. Through targeted training, the branches have been led further outwards, and the plant has been able to build a nice flat, even structure. The new side branches have gained a lot and show strong, healthy growth.
Today was the next training step: The plant was topped to create 16 main branches. Now there are 16 strong main branches that will continue to develop in the coming days and will be shaped into as even a canopy as possible.
Now it’s time to let it recover and observe the new growth, and then it’s off to the heights 🌱

Tobi420Grow The last few days with the Papaya Sour Spritz have been all about training. After the strong tying down and shaping, she needed some time to gather herself, but now it's clear that she's growing vigorously again.
Thanks to the training, the shoots have been nicely spread out, and the entire plant has been built much flatter. This allows the new side shoots to get more light and increasingly develop into their own main shoots.
It's especially nice to see new growth emerging at each node everywhere. The plant is slowly filling the available space and developing a much more even structure.
The initial reaction to the training is hardly noticeable now – the new leaves look fresh and strong. The focus now is on continuing to build up the existing shoots and filling the area evenly.
No further strong topping planned. Instead, we will continue primarily with LST and targeted training to ensure as many shoots as possible reach a similar height.

Tobi420Grow Papaya Sour Spritz – Growth Update & Assessment
The Papaya Sour Spritz is visibly progressing and now shows a nicely bushy, compact growth. Compared to earlier photos, it is clear to see how the side shoots have developed and more and more new growth points are emerging. The plant is increasingly forming a broad crown with many potential main shoots.
Particularly striking is the dense branching. The new shoot tips are growing vigorously and displaying a fresh, brighter green. The leaf mass has also increased significantly. Overall, the plant gives a vital impression and is developing into the desired width.
The leaf color is predominantly green, with some leaves appearing slightly lighter. Individual leaf positions seem slightly unusual, which is why I will keep an eye on the further development. However, there is no clear indication of severe nutrient deficiency visible in the pictures.
Due to the compact growth, the leaf canopy is becoming denser. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to good air circulation within the plant during further development. I would like to avoid larger interventions for now so that it can continue to develop as stress-free as possible.
My conclusion: The Papaya Sour Spritz overall makes a good impression. It grows nicely bushy, forms numerous side shoots, and develops an increasingly dense structure. Now it remains to be seen how it will continue to develop in the coming days.

Tobi420Grow Papaya Sour Spritz – Veg completed, flowering starts today!
The Papaya Sour Spritz has developed really well over the last few days and has grown nice and bushy and compact. The plant has formed many side branches and has now developed a dense, more even crown.
Defoliation & Plant Care
As part of the care, I removed some leaves and lower shoots to loosen the plant a bit and improve air circulation inside. The focus was on reducing unnecessary dense growth and allowing the existing shoots to stand out better, without removing too much leaf mass at once.
Training with LST Clips
Additionally, I worked with LST clips to gently guide the shoots in the desired direction. This should make the crown more even and allow the growth to spread better across the area. Some side shoots were positioned strategically so that as many shoot tips as possible get their space.
Today: Switching to 12/12
Today at 6:00 PM, I switched the lighting to 12/12. This marks the beginning of the next exciting phase for the Papaya Sour Spritz: the flowering stage. Now I'm curious to see how much it stretches in the coming weeks and how the individual flower sites develop.
Fertilization with Green House Feeding BioBloom
To prepare for flowering, I also added 50 g of Green House Feeding BioBloom. This ensures the nutrient supply for the upcoming phase is planned. Now it's time to observe the plant closely and keep an eye on its development and nutrient needs.
Conclusion
The Papaya Sour Spritz is compact, has many shoots, and a nice starting shape for flowering. Defoliation and LST are done, and today marks the beginning of a new chapter with the switch to 12/12. I'm looking forward to documenting the further development and keeping you updated!
