T5 to CMH/HPS 1400w Papaya and Blue Mystic Grow

[DaGrapeApe]

Hi.
I'm a medical caregiver growing for my patients and myself.
Bought 5 feminized Papaya and 5 femized Blue Mystic.

Planted 2 of each and then 1 of each a week later (as a backup).

Soaked Rapid rooters in RO water for 24 hours then make my own hole with a tiny screwdriver. Popped the seed in the hole and 3 days later everything germed.

Transplanted the Rapid Rooters into Hydroton and placed the seedlings in a 3 gallon bubbler.

Here's a pic of where they're at now, under the T5's.



I'll try my best to keep this updated.

Any comments, advice, suggestions are welcome!

The last pics were taken about a week ago.
Since then the "backup" seedlings have sprouted, and have been placed next to their sisters (I hope) of the same strain.

Now all 6 are waiting to get larger under the bubbler. Here's shots as of today...

Yesterday I added a drop (a very tiny drop) of Floranova Grow, and the girls seem to have liked it, I got a noticible boost in growth overnight.

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Big change from yesterday. Upped the nutes and the color changed a LOT.



The Blue Mystic on the right looks deformed.

Waiting on a new camera so my pics don't suck anymore. The girls (I hope) are all doing very well, just waiting for them to veg up to at least a foot before I put them into the flower chamber. Has anyone grown these strains before? If so do you recommend topping/FIM at 18 inches or so, or is a big single cola better? Let me know.

You guys can comment if you'd like! I really don't mind, in fact I encourage it.

Moved the Papaya's into their own 2 gallon bucket and spaced the Blue mystic in the current cloner they were in. Also dropped two vanilla kush beans (Always nice to be prepaired for your next plant).

Both the cloner and the bucket have 2 gallons of tap water (ppm 23) with two teaspoons of Flora Nova Grow. PH is 5.6.

Here are pics:

Blue mystic girls:




Here are the Papaya girls:



I'm saving space in my grow for when these girls are ready to drop into flower, and like I said, I'm planning on flowering at 18". As you can see, with the exception of 1blue mystic (who I called a retard earlier) the growth is pretty uniform.

Just for shits and giggles, here's what's taking up my grow space:
Trainwreck clones in aero unit.

Two lemon sour diesel, one is at 7 weeks one is at 8 weeks

And two trainwrecks, one at 7 weeks one at 4:
4 weeks:

7 weeks:

Topped all the blue Mystic using FIM method. Hopefully it takes, Papaya will be topped in the next couple days.

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Space was open, so I threw 1 Papaya (Papaya #2) 14" high Into the flowering room. Transfered to a 5 Gallon bucket, ppm 880 ph 5.9. Used 25 CC of Flora Nova Bloom, 25 CC of KoolBloom and 5 CC of Floralicious.

Here she (I hope) is chillin under the CMH/HPS love.


Blue Mystics are still vegging along with the other Two Papaya's. They were getting too big for the container they were in, so I placed them in their own container till they're ready to flower.


Just using Floranova Grow, with PH'd water to get a ppm of 700 and ph of 5.6

Here are the papya's sisters chillin in their 2 gallon bucket:


Chopped My trainwreck that I pictured a few posts ago, here's some nice harvest pics:

 

[DaGrapeApe]

I'm waiting for more spots to open in my grow, as the Lemon sours are taking a LONG time to flower, however as of this morning I have all milky tricombs. Gonna wait till I see a little amber and then chop Hopefully anytime now.

Here are the Lemon sour diesel close to finish:



Papaya #1 and #2 are now at 8 days in flower:


And here is my old Trainwreck mom 10 days in to flower:

Subed, I'm growing the same!! Papaya and Blue Mystic. I've got my eye on you!! haha. They look great though, the BM leaves are huge!!

The blue mystic leaves are huge, you're absolutely right. Thanks for subbing!

I took two clones from Papaya #1 and #2 today as they both appear to be females. Yesterday I dumped all the 5 gallon buckets and redid my nutes. Papaya are at 1000 ppm with a PH of 5.8 as of right now. More pics tomorrow!

 

[mane2008]

looking really good bruh . i'm subbed

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Thanks for the subbing guys.

Put the third girl (I hope) into flower today. Here's a pic of everything that's growing.

The blue mystics will just have to wait in veg while My Trainwrecks finish.

For my Trainwrecks I'm switching my nutes to Dynagrow along with Floralicious +. I know how they do under my normal GH routine, and I'm anxious to see how these do using Dynagrow. Two of the papaya will continue with a GH batch of nutes, Papaya 3 will go on dynagrow bloom at week 3, but I'm using GH till then because it has more nitrogen. I'm going to pick my favorite papya girl after this harvest and do a nute comparison Side by side with the clones of her (GH Floranova bloom , Floralicious + and Koolbloom) vs Dynagrow Bloom, and Floralicious +.

Blue Mystics Vegging... At about 16" and Fimmed.


Papaya 1 at 14 days flowering:


Papaya #2 at 13 days Flowering


Papaya 3 First Day flowering:


Lemon sour diesel at approx 13 weeks:






These are so leafy I decided to discontinue future grows with them. Beautiful smell but super long flowering times + 14 hour trim jobs = pain in the ass. A Blue Mystic will take its spot in the next couple weeks.

Train Wreck #2 at 13 days flower:


Trainwreck #1 flowering 4 weeks :



small trainwrecks at 23 days:

 

[ifartsmoke]

have you smoked papaya yet? or the Blue mystic?
They are looking really good!!!

 

[DaGrapeApe]

No, I haven't smoked either of them. Looking forward to it!

 

[ifartsmoke]

No, I haven't smoked either of them. Looking forward to it!

My first Papaya crushed me!!!!! I didn't think it was going to be all that because of the name and not many people regard it as a good strain.. I was like EEEEkkkkkk I wish I could take back that last pull from the bong!!!! Watch your ass with that shit!!! hahaha But it's great for my paint. I haven't smoked the Blue though, I've herd mixed reviewes.

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Not a huge indica guy myself, I really prefer sativa dominant strains. I originally picked those strains for low odor. However, having negated the odor issue I'm still looking very forward to sampling these plants. If I could rename this thread I would, as it's more of a multi strain perpetual grow.

So what are some of the sativa's you like or do you prefer? And why do you like them better?

 

[DaGrapeApe]

I really like my sativa dominant trainwreck and c99.
Jack the ripper is top notch, I plan on growing a lot of tga/subcool gear in thecoming year.

I like them better because they seem to make my mind race, thus I feel more creative.
Indicas make me feel tired and retarded, although they do
Amazing things for my back.
