This strain looks absolutely amazing. I ended up keeping the other purple punch going . I didnโ€™t continue it in the diary . I had intended to kill it because of the way it looked. I guess it had wrinkly leaf syndrome . It ended up turning out ๐Ÿคฉ. 1000 grams from two plants. The smell from them while harvesting was overwhelming.

Day 49 Flip day! Just flipped them to 12/12 took loads of leaves off. Let's see if I've guessed the sex right then ๐Ÿ˜ I think I've got 3 fems but people still tell me I want know until I've flipped ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿผ Update: Day 50 and day 1 of flower looking very happy will give a nice feed when soil dries out. Lights are now maxed out and on Day 51, day 2 of flower I'm sure all 3 are definitely fems will keep eye on them next few days ๐Ÿ‘€ Update again: Day 53, Day 4 of flower and they looking beautiful ๐Ÿ˜

Woche 8 geht los, die Lampen stehen auf 100% Grow und 100% Flower, ich habe ein Netz rein gespannt und nach 1โ€“2 Tagen in der letzten Woche alles weggeschnitten, was unterm Netz war sowie einige Seitentriebe. Somit sollte jeder Hauptstrang maximal 4โ€“5 Seitentriebe haben. Zudem fangen sich die Blรผten an zu bilden und es sind deutliche Hรคrchen zu sehen. Update: Tag 5 Woche 9: Die Blรผten werden immer grรถรŸer und harzen schon auf die umliegenden Blรคtter ๐Ÿ˜

Another week has gone by. Sheโ€™s stacked pretty good and fairly dense buds. Be interesting to see if they fill out or frost up more. We shall carry on waiting it out. โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Š

Dumb website won't let me update anymore. Keeps saying I can't duplicate a number. This is week 6 not week 8 and it won't let me change it. Won't be updating anymore if it's gonna be buggy like this.

Filling out the trellis net. Looks like another 2-3 weeks until I flip the ladies. Using SSTโ€™s, LABS and natural inputs for this grow. I have made some mistakes in the past using Organics, but have figured out HOW to use them for an entire grow. The vegetative state, I have never had a problem with. The transition into the first 3 weeks is when I have had the most issues. After a little research and testing, I finally have a basic blue print of how to feed plants in flower for 10-12 weeks now or shorter. Mark Bowell from Perfect Gardens on YouTube and Mr Canucks Grow from Canada are my largest information inputs. Final Thank you to Mr McGooz for keeping me in the know. 10-11: yes, some of the stalks are turning purple. This is not due to phosphorus, magnesium, or any deficiency. It is due to the light being too intense for the plants. I am at the max distance and running the light at 30% ( itโ€™s a 600 watt ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ). Soooo yeah, that purple is going to stay for a bit. Purple with other leaf discoloration or senescence IS a problem, purple stems with NO leaf issues isnโ€™t serious issue. Cant it be fixed? We are going to find outโ€ฆ.Photosynthesis Plus will be on hand in the next 5-6 days. This permits the plant to USE more of the photons ( yes, I have carbon in my media). This should minimize the purple and allow me to UP THE WATTS ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ 10-14: spoke to my โ€œguideโ€ and we made the decision to go ahead and flower these ladies. We saw how much stretch there is to be had and realized we are currently filling the trellis by 75%. We are estimating the entire 4x4 area to be completely filled. I defoliated and pruned the smaller sites off the lower areas of the plant. Not quite lollipopping, just selectivity choosing sites to keep and bones that will get in the way. For transition I am using a ratio of 1:1:1 on NPKโ€™s to ease the flip. The ppmโ€™s will be between 750-800. Once we reach early flower, we switch the NPKโ€™s to 1:3:2 ( flower girl by Dr Earth OR Fish bone meal and langbenite). I switch each feeding between the two for 5-6 weeks. At week 7 we switch to 0:3:3 ( seabird guano and Langbeinite) at 500 ppmโ€™s. Week 8 the same feed. Week 9 kelpseaweed/water Only ( these are 10 week cultivars). Thank you for taking the time to read. 10-16 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Plants are starting to show deficiencies!!! Yes, normally one freaks out ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The slight deficiency is a sign that I can go ahead and start: The Flowering Cycle. When using Organics, you have to use your eyes because nothing is specific. Meaning: you have to see when the amendments are running out to A: Top Dress B. Make compost teas. We are going the compost tea route for flower. I made a video showing exactly what I use. The ratio is 5-5-5 ( yes earlier we were going to use 2-2-2, but we found out there is no calcium or magnesium in the all purpose mix by Dr Earthโ€ฆanother reason to learn to read your plants).

These have been growing kind of slowly but I got the temps up a little this week by adding some extra light and am getting vpd dialed in. These will only be in this tent for a few more days I am just starting to harvest the main tent so once that is done they will be moved to the Gorilla Grow Tent and put under the new Growlightscience LEDs so we can see how the perform full cycle. The autos will have to get moved back into this tent once I flip the main tent but the photos will prob need a few weeks of veg before that happens. Been doing foliars with the Growzyme from greenbuzz as well before lights out every other night which seems to make them happy. I think theyll take off over the next couple weeks.

Plant is recovering well from defoliation. It seems to be taking more water now so I'll up feedings to 2 litres twice a week to see if it responds well to that.

Harvest Notes โœ‚๏ธ โ€ข Harvest Timing: Papaya Zoap was harvested at day 63, with select buds taken earlier at day 56 due to mold concerns. โ€ข Drying: After careful trimming, the buds were dried for 12 days. The quality and aroma during drying hinted at the stellar smoke to come. โ€ข Density & Yield: Buds were rock-solid, delivering an excellent yield with perfect density for storage and enjoyment. Terpene Profile & Aromas ๐Ÿ‹ โ€ข Primary Aromas: A tropical explosion with sweet papaya upfront, complemented by creamy, soapy undertones that make her truly unique. โ€ข Complexity: As the buds cure, a hint of citrus zest and exotic fruit emerges, creating a full-bodied terpene profile thatโ€™s simply irresistible. Cultivation Experience ๐Ÿ’ก โ€ข Highlights: Her uniform growth, heavy trichome production, and response to super cropping made her a delight to grow. She thrived under careful spectrum adjustments and defoliation, showcasing her adaptability and vigor. โ€ข Challenges: The dense bud structure made her more prone to mold, especially in a high-humidity environment. However, proactive monitoring and swift action mitigated the spread. Verdict: ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ (9.8/10) Papaya Zoap is a strain that commands attention with her beauty, aroma, and unstoppable growth. While her susceptibility to mold required extra care, her overall performance, yield, and quality were nothing short of exceptional. A growerโ€™s dream and a frosty masterpiece!

Finally got some videos up (I think)! One shows the canopy, the other gives an idea of the training under the screen. Shes finally showing signs of female and pistils are popping out like crazy. Decided to not tuck the final days of the stretch so the buds wonโ€™t start in the screen and start right above it, seems like Iโ€™d be easier come harvest time

These lovely ladies are growing amazing. Weekly update as they're getting super close to being finished. Some already are going to come out and be harvested but there's a few that still need another week or so. The terps smell like you just opened a can of 7-Up so I can only imagine what they taste like. All in all Happy Growing.

Not actually sure if end of week 5, I will check at some point maybe :P Removed 3 Hermies, will check think 1 wasn't random/"?". Pinched tops of pretty much all plants. Chopped the males up a bit, probably just remove them soon anyways, but some super early pollination would be okay I rate. Maybe try grow like, a carrot, pumpkin, between or where I removed males. Guess today I feed a lil bit and water well otherwise. About 700ml per plant now.

Clone 1is growing normal now. Lots of branching. Plus she pit on st least a inch a day in height. So she is growing great. I am not sure what I will do with her. I may move it to a bigger potter then flower it in the tent it was in. It is now just vegging in my autoflower room in a corner under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. Thank you Pure Instinto Seeds. ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿป๐Ÿค›๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ Thank you grow diaries community for the ๐Ÿ‘‡likes๐Ÿ‘‡, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel๐Ÿ‘‡. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿป Happy Growing ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Not much to tell this week, happy to say that she's been doing well over the last week while she has been flushed with ph'd tap water! She is now getting close to harvest time, I think I might let her flush for a couple of days more before I harvest her๐Ÿ˜ She is a little older and further along than the rest of the tent, so she will be the only one to be harvested and I will let the three other run until I see amber trichomes develop on them! I planted her a little earlier than the three others to allow me to use her as my "test dummy" for my first run, and so I could make corrections for the other three early on! But even though she has been my tester and has taken a bit of abuse from time to time while I was still more unsure of everything at the start, she has still turned out way better than I ever had dared to hope for when I started this journey over 100 days ago, and the heavy aroma shes giving off is amazing and she has developed some of the more dense nugs out of my four girls so far! ๐Ÿ™ But yeah I'm thinking that I will harvest her tomorrow or the day after at the latest to let me get a trail run off on drying before I harvest the other three girls, just to make sure I get that process down! But the next update that I will come with will be after the harvest if things goes to plan, and like I said I am soo excited for that day to come and get my next run started! ๐Ÿ˜ Happy growing everyone! and thank you for all the encouragement and comments, it has really helped a lot and I will for sure stay active on the community and make a dairy for my next run too!

Just a perfect outdoor grow, after last year I wasn't very confident that the plants would finish, but the dry weather helped a lot. It's about the journey too for me, just love to see them grow everyday, combat problems and have a big community here that's always willing to help!
