Well these girls have been an absolute pleasure to grow. Handled anything that was thrown at them, like high temps and humidity, a case of thrips, under watering, overwatering. You name it and they’ve just bounced back so well.. They smell is sooooo light, so so mild, which is such a shock as although Nirvana say it’s a low smelling strain, I did expect that to be a bit of a gimmick with my lack of previous experience. But....... it really truly is a low smell strain if your looking to keep it stealth. That being said they do smell fruity with a woody essence so far.. Buds feel solid and I hope they stay that way.. 🤞 Will update once dried with a smoke report! UPDATE: Saturday 5th December I’ve ended up with 62g on the scales now dry and that’s after a few joints already 🤩 Smoke is light with no harsh burn on the throat, ash looks pretty light to me but I’ve never thought to check that before ☺️. Very sweet undertones of fruits and a subtle woody pine smells come through.. At first smoke! I’m sat there thinking well this is a little ok, you know just nice and heady not too strong. Almost a little disappointed that some how I’ve obviously messed this all up and then mother fucking BOOM 💥.... Steam train hits you.. I’m still not sure how to describe it all, still a little heady, upbeat, but lovely and relaxing all rolled into one. But wow totally full on. Not woozy or couch-locked but defo smacks you round the face. My arms and legs feel all tingly.. I ❤️ this strain a lot. I’m sooooo pleased with the result. Now in jars curing so I hope the smell and taste develops more with time 😍.... Thanks to the Seedsman for supplying such top quality products like this wonderful Nirvana Papaya strain. It’s been an absolute pleasure! I’ve got a lovely cutting in with my last girl doing really nicely which I’m going to put back into veg once the last lady is finished (keeping the last lady in flower a bit longer as the hubby struggles with sleep and I wanted to give him a proper sleep medicine). UPDATE: Wednesday 9th December: Last lady chopped today. Her wet weight came in at 3.63oz and currently drying out, so will update the total dry weight very soon.. UPDATE: FINAL WEIGHTS: First 3 plants - 62g Last plant - 22g TOTAL WEIGHT - 84g

As this is my absolute first grow I can’t compare to anything else. Although, I can say my girls were so healthy and strong and seemed to love the nutes. Plus the fact that they are organic is really appealing for me. Will be keeping this routine for my next grow. Thank you Biobizz!
Brill, did exactly what it was supposed to do..
Lights
Fantastic little light that helped me get 13oz wet from my 3 ladies.. She seems a little lacklustre for flower and needed some extra support but super happy with the yield for such a budget friendly LED.. Would recommend for sure!
Tents
Fantastic little grow room for my very small space.. Sturdy, great reflective walls.. Would of loved an extra pole for hanging things but other than that.. Fab small tent for propagation and mini grows of no more than four plants with lots of LST.

Well! I made it to harvest! I can’t fooking believe it.. I also can’t believe I’ve pulled 378 grams wet weight off three plants for my first grow. That shook me hard. I’m pretty sure as my buds are quiet small that they are going to reduce quite considerably more than I would like once dried but they are all hanging up and I will check on them in the morning. Well update again soon. UPDATE: Saturday 5th December: Buds are nice and dry, are quite firm and haven’t ended up as small as I thought. I will defo ensure I remove more of the small popcorn buds at the base of the stems on my next grow to encourage bigger and denser buds at the top. I’ll also try slightly less colas per plant

Hi! See the first set of true leaves and see the curls in the leaf.. I believe it was due to my humidifier blowing directly on them for a few hours. They seen to have been fine since I adjusted the humidifier.. Will they be ok or am I missing something? Thanks

too much wind can cause leaves to grow in weird shapes, shouldn't really affect the overall health of the plant, but it may cause denser growth than you want! I made this mistake by having a pretty big oscilating fan blowing directly on 2 of my plants. They grew shorter and denser, but with some defoliation and time, they turned out fine.

Hi! Since upgrading my 4 girls into new 3 gallon pots & giving them a good water the humidity levels in the tent have soared to over 70% Will this reduce as they drink all the water in the pots? Shld I invest in a dehumidifier yet? Running out of space 😬

Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

Hey! So first things first.. Before switching to flower you need to make sure your plants will fit in your grow space without going into the lights and getting light burn. Plants normally double or triple in size when they're put into 12/12.. So lets say the tallest they can grow is 1,5 meters tall then I suggest switching them around 50-60cm so they don't get too tall. Wonder pie is a Indica sativa hybrid so she might not stretch that much but you never know.. Now if you don't have a height limit then whenever you see that she has a nice structure and plenty future bud sites to flower. So if you’ve got space it’s really but to you when to switch.. They look healthy after the topping and defoliation. Maybe wait a bit more. Hope this helped, any questions just let me know. @ me or DM. Good luck and happy growing!

Hi can anyone tell me what these brown spots are on the leaves? There is also some brown around the edges of some leaves too. I introduced BioBizz Bloom and Top Max at 1ml/l two days ago, is it this? Or do I have a deficiency from filtered water? Time for some CalMag? Or??????

If your using filtered water w/o Cal-Mag then there's the problem ... You need some Cal-Mag. R/O water has nothing in it at all. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Plz take a look at my 4 short and stocky (known as a low growers) Nirvana Papaya LST’d girls (pics from week 6) and tell me if I should flip to flower now or hang a week? Think I’m running out of height space. I’ve got 20inches spare from the LED plus a little more if needed.

Hey there Newbie, looks like they are ready to flip, this you can tell by the healthy new growth . Keep up with the LST though, from now until the end of flower stretch and it's possible the plants double or triple in size. That's why you want to keep managing it as long as you can. Hope this helps 🚀

if the sides of the leaves curl, this often indicates that the plant is evaporating more than it absorbs. A more constant water supply can help. If the tip of the leaf curls downwards, this often indicates overwatering.

Esoteric_growinganswered grow question 3 years ago
You say the were under watered, if so they should bounce back very quickly if that was the cause. When you say they droop more at feed time do you mean before or after. If it’s before you need to increase the intervals between feeding and if it’s after chance are you are feeding too much volume. It says over 2L per pot in your diary which sounds a lot for a 10L pot. I give my 23L pots about 3L for reference. I would probably stick to top feeding with soil but that’s just my preference as I can see when they get a little run off, although with bio Bizz you don’t really need a 10-20% run off

Hey friend,According to your buds look and size.I would say it’s about 2 or 3 more weeks to go.But you have know when the harvest window opens.Mean the leaves will show deficiencies , yellowing and most of the white pistils become orange.The best method is using 60x microscope and check trichomes colour.If trichomes are mostly milky/cloudy about 80/90 % and fill with some amber colour.That’s the best time for you to harvest.Also Don’t forget to flush your soil, one or two weeks before harvest if you are using inorganic nutrients.Happy Growing... ✌️

Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?

If you aren't at max DLI for how many hours you run your lights per day, it can only help. if you think you are up near that edge, watch plant's reaction more closely.

Hi I’m going to be flushing the girls soon as I think I’ve only got a couple of weeks left. I’m using Biobizz soil and Nutes. When flushing should I allow heavy run off with each flush? Should I stop the CalMag too? Biobizz say run off during flushing isn’t necessary, Any advice?

RafaelRapidosanswered grow question 3 years ago
I would say run offs are necessary during flushing. In that way, you will actually flush away all the nutrients from the soil ...and not just into the saucer so it will be sucked back up by the plant. Also, if you water heavily and often with no run offs you might overwater your plant. I would also very strongly recommend using Canna Flush to get rid of all excessive nutrients!

You've got a couple weeks to go. It's definitely time to flush if you haven't already. If you harvest now you will likely regret it because smoke with be decent but very heady and short acting, and your yield will be reduced. Your plant is going to spend the next two weeks fattening up and ripening. I'd highly recommend waiting until you see 20-25% amber trichomes anywhere you look. The smoke will be much better and your scale will also be happy. Best lesson I ever learned as a grower is: when you think you're ready for harvest, wait another week. Hope this helps!

From the look of the pics and video of your diary it’s still got at least a week to go, probably 2 if it was me. You still have a lot of new growth with white pistols on your main buds. If you can’t see your tricombs up close and personal then I would wait till almost all your hairs have receded and the bud will fatten up and look plumper. This is when you should harvest in my opinion if you gotta go by just the look. This will ensure you have decent buds. But better to get a cheap handheld microscope for $10-20 to see your tricombs, then you can make a more educated decision on what type of high you prefer. Always wait till at least all tricombs are cloudy, at this point your at max THC and get the cleanest high. If you let it go longer the tricombs will turn amber, when there 20-50% amber is when you get the best of both THC and CBN which reacts with the THC to give you a more sedative “couch lock” type high. The longer you let it go after this point the tricombs will go black and bud quality starts to go down. So if you have even a cheap handheld microscope it can really make a world of difference in your final product. Without it your just kinda guessing as each strain is different and varies widely with how they look at harvest. Some strains will be ready tricombs wise before a hair even turns red, yet others will be completely red haired and still have clear tricombs... so it really is hit and miss without a microscope sometimes.

Looking good @Newbiegrower420. The way you trained those branches/tops amazes me. How did you end up solving your high temps due to dehumidifier issue? I am currently experiencing the same issue end of week 3 flower.

@Newbiegrower420, yip my temps are between 30 to 35 degrees C lights on and lights off 28 to 32 degrees C. Will definitely try it out and check out the video. Thanks for the tips bro, first time growing a plant so lots of learnings :),
Newbiegrower420
Newbiegrower420
@KevinC, ah thanks 😊 🙏🏼. I have really enjoyed the LST part of the grow although it’s much trickier now the stems are much stronger.. With the dehumidifier, whilst it was in the tent it was kicking out some crazy temps like 32 to 35 degrees C during lights on, so there was just not enough space for the plants and the dehumidifier (my tent is only 3 wide x 3 high x 2 deep ft) so it kept just getting hotter and hotter, but now I’ve just got the dry air outlet sealed up with ducting going straight into the tent and rest the dehumidifier is out in the open next to the tent. Ive also got a big fan blowing on the tent and dehumidifier. So although it is still raising temps by a couple of degrees I’m getting a nice 27-28 degrees during lights on and a not too shabby 24-25 degrees C at lights off.. The dehumidifier needs a larger space to work effectively so whether in a cardboard box or inside the tent it’s just working over time and producing too much heat even with the extraction fan at full blast. This way is just working so much better for my set up thankfully. Give it a try if your experiencing the same problem. I’m happy with the result. I’ve got a lil video on week 10 that shows my set up if that helps 😊✌️🏼🌱🍃 Good luck with your grow! It’s looking good!
