Primeira defoliação feita no dia 30

4cm vertical growth this week. Next couple of weeks we will see if she likes her soil or not....

The girls have survived another week ❤️ I did a light defoliation and have been monitoring the RH closely. We have had a very damp week here, and the RH kept climbing and had my fan working hard. They are starting to plump up and fill in 😋. They have also started to slow their drinking habits, instead of watering every three days, it has moved to every 4 now. Just a couple of weeks left, I think I will be harvesting these over Christmas 🎄, and will have some great bud ready for the new year! 🎉🎊🍾

09/03: Im pleased with their progress this week. They did indeed start growing nicely after their slow recovery adjusting to the removal of the humidity domes. I have my light at 60% and still about 18 inches away. My humidifier is never getting the humidity pas 59 when i want it to be in the mid 60s. And so i ordered the big AC Infinity humidifier and hoping it will do a better job. I was low of my typical nutrients and so i decided to try something new and bought an Advanced Nutrients stack. Going with the three part and B-52 and will mix in Big Bud, Overdrive, and Bud Candy later in the grow. Excited to see how this works out as i have seen a lot of great grows on here with these nutrients. I am just following their feeding chart recommendations until I dial in what i like. I plan to transplant them to their large 7 gallon auto pots sometime this week. Maybe as soon as tomorrow. 09/05: Transplant day! Today I transplanted them to their final 6.9 gallon pots. They all had great root systems that had not reached a root lock yet. I added some dynomyco to the transplant holes to help with root production. I will continue to water from the top for about a week before turning on the autopot drip system. 09/08: Decided to do an aggressive topping today, this was done at the 2nd to 3rd node, depending on the plant. I have not yet decided how i want to train them, but this will leave me with options while i decide over the next week. I know it looks like i took down half the plant, but trust me, we good. I may actually go with a form of main-lining that ive wanted to do for a couple years now.

📍 Microgenetics meets Master Bud – Delicate but determined The Papaya Sunrise, an exclusive selection of the very Italian Microgenetics Seed Bank, continues to amaze me. In this 7ª week of vegetative he is finally bringing out all his fruity, vigorous and surprisingly compact personality. At first she was the most reserved among the sisters, but now - thanks to the controlled environment, the targeted defoliation and the balanced diet - she is exploding in width, opening the branches like palm trees in the sun, ready to conquer the SCROG network. 🌿 The leaves are wide, healthy, full green and vital. The structure is solid but elastic, and each knot carries with it a promise of future flowers. 💧 This week received the right attention: enriched rainwater, high-quality radical stimulators and a mix between mineral (Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect) and calibrated organic inputs. Result? Vigorous lateral growth, excellent breathability, zero deficiencies. Despite some residual moisture in the pot that I monitored, the Papaya reacted very well, confirming its resilience. The improved microclimate and new ventilation helped it open up like a true tropical queen. 🎯 Now everything is ready for the last sprint before the switch. The tucks are on the way. The genetic profile begins to "push", and you can already feel the aromatic potential that will come out in a few weeks. 📸 Exotic fruits on the way. This Papaya is not a plant. It's a destination.

Day 91 The plants are progressing beautifully through the flowering stage. Buds are now forming dense clusters along the main stems and side branches, with plenty of healthy white pistils. The trichomes are starting to become more visible under the light, giving the buds a nice frosty appearance. Overall, the plants look strong and healthy — dark green leaves, good structure, and no major signs of stress. I did some light defoliation this week to improve airflow and light penetration, especially in the lower areas. This should help the buds develop more evenly. Humidity and temperature have been kept stable to avoid mold or mildew issues. Feeding has been consistent with bloom nutrients, and I’m keeping an eye on runoff to make sure everything stays balanced.

Week 3 of flowering has started! More defoliation and loolipoping is going on and is passing the surface of the SOG... buds keep fattening, although this light is very poor I think inhave mentioned that before!!

GG12 didn’t stretch and is pretty small but is in full flowering mode, the other 3 are still stretching but look very close to start. They all look super happy 😁 in their super soil, I don’t feed other than a silica supplement in each watering, everything else the plants need is available to them in the soil.

Flowering on Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto is growing up and flowering the fastest, Cherry Cola Auto on the left is catching up and spreading out ready for flowering buds. My Smoothie Auto was a week behind but has livened up since adding Charge by Ecothrive to all 3 plants. I had a timer on my light which I switched to the wrong position. So I'd been 24 hours lights on. I switched it back to 20/4. And the rest seems to help growth in the last week.

Hey Leute, kurzes Update von meinem DWC-Run. Wir sind jetzt voll in der vierten Woche und die Mädels fangen richtig an zu performen. Der Stretch legt sich langsam, und die Blütenstände schwellen überall an – die Vorfreude steigt! Nährstofftechnisch fahre ich das Hesi-Programm (Hydroblüte, Boost, SuperVit). Da wir jetzt in die entscheidende Phase gehen, habe ich mich getraut, noch eine fast schon homöopathische Dosis von 5 ml Hesi PK 13/14 hinzuzufügen. Mit einem EC von 1,80 sind wir zwar am oberen Limit – die Blattspitzen zeigen schon ganz leicht, dass sie "gut im Futter" stehen –, aber bei 19 Grad Wassertemperatur und einem stabilen pH von 6,1 fühlen sie sich pudelwohl. Kleiner Dämpfer diese Woche: Meine 24-Stunden-Überwachung hat leider den Geist aufgegeben – Sensor kaputt. Das heißt für mich erst mal "back to basics" und jeden Tag manuell messen, bis Ersatz da ist. Aber hey, so bleibt man wenigstens nah dran an den Pflanzen! Dank LST und meinen treuen Biege-Clips sieht das Blätterdach schön gleichmäßig aus. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken, dass der PK-Schub die Buds in den nächsten Tagen ordentlich pusht. Stay tuned! ✌️🌱

While this plant didn't produce much bud what it did produced was pounds of experience. This was the first autoflower I've ever grown and is my most successful grow to date. I made mistakes but I learned so much. Can't wait to try this one again.

Just waiting

Just got my new lamp, happy to show the love my plants been getting :)

When should they start flowering?
