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

[DaGrapeApe]

Didn't have time to take pictures, but you're going to be amazed at the difference in the Papaya and Trainwrecks after 10 days of Dynagrow Bloom nutes. HUGE improvement, I just wish I would have done a log of my last grow as a comparison. This is the best any of the plants I've grown have ever looked, and the only thing I changed was the nutrient line.

Here's pictures from today:

Little Trainwreck clones:



Papaya 1:


Papaya 2:


And another TW at 14 days:


Blue Mystic Girls ready to be put into flower:


Couldn't tell from the pics which was Papaya #3 because of the yellowing effect. Will post pics of #3 tomorrow. All three Blue Mystic will go into flower tomorrow.

Concerned about the leaves pointing up on Papaya 1 and 2.

Papaya 1:


Papaya 2:
Papaya 2 has some reddish stems toward the top which also has me concerned. PH is at 6.0 and PPM is at 900 on both



Here's Papaya 3 17 days in flower:

 

[DaGrapeApe]

One blue Mystic girl looked like it was having trouble in veg so I'm leaving it there to hopefully recover. Two of the Blue Mystic girls are in flower now. I am naming BM#1 "Big Momma" and BM#2 is "Blue Meanie" #3 since it is having trouble is now "Bad Midget".

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Here's some new shots.

Blue Mystics 7 days in:



Papaya 1 day 38:


The pics of 2 and 3 didn't come out well. Got some decent pics of my trainwrecks though.

Trainwrecks at day 46 (Began flushing yesterday)

looking good man. that trainwreck is GHS trainwreck?

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Yes sir. I really like this cut/pheno. I clone the heck outta it. I get really nice big fat buds out of it that are out of this world potency wise. I'm particularly excited with this batch though because I switched nutes and they just look phenominal. A lot of the buds are $0.50 piece sized, I just wished I'd vegged them a bit longer so I'd have more buds.

im glad to hear something good about GHS. i've never bought seeds from them, cuz i'd only heard negative things until now. but i really like your trainwreck, it looks like a great yielder. TW is good stuff

 

[DaGrapeApe]

The trainwreck up close ( I really need to know how to work my camera better) look like they're heavily encrusted with sugar and I figure they have at least 5-10 more days to go. I'm going to let them go to at least 52 days this time to see if they pack on any more weight. I usually chop around 47 with excellent results.

Hey man,
I've read your progress as I too am going to grow the Papaya, I selected it for it's mould and disease resistance trait. Although I noticed that the leaves in the Papaya seems discoloured and patchy, is this what they look like or is it a heat issue? did you discover why the leaves were curling up ear;y in the grow?
I'll be throwing my Papayas outside after a brief 3 weeks of indoor vegetative growth. I hope they get big enough in those short 3 weeks.

Yarndi.

I believe I overfed the papaya's at first causing a bit of nute burn, they seem to be fine now. I showed the pics to my buddy who has a lot more grows under his belt than I do and he said I was, and I quote, "Being a baby" and they "looked fine". Papaya #3 hasn't had any of the leaf curl and/or burn and smells the most like fruit, although it's 15 days behind the others.

I can hear it now "Stop being a baby".
I was planning on having these Papayas of mine at a very remote area, the guerilla grow will be using wet-agents and slow release nutes. I was planning on putting them in the ground and forgetting about them for a few weeks at a time. I haven't read that they are over-sensitive to nutes, maybe take it easy with the slow release stuff? I was just going to use Tomato food in the soil.

 

[DaGrapeApe]

This is my first time using growing papaya, and I've never grown outdoors or in soil so I really can't speak to it. However, some people have been using dyna-gro in soil, which is what I'm using in my hydro setup with excellent results. It's fairly low cost and very effective.

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Did a nute/res change, and took a lot of pictures. I'm still learning how to use my camera better but I figured you'd like some shots.
Here's Papaya #1, it's at day 41, she's running at 1000 ppm, Dynagro Bloom + Dynagro Pro Tek:


Papaya #2 (didn't get a res change today, it will tomorrow):


Here's my Blue Mystic girls. "Big Momma" seems to be a bit more branchy, but they have little to no flower development yet.


Trainwreck at 25 days:

Trainwreck DWC monster at day 25 as well:


And here is a TW (currently flushing) I'm chopping this week, they're small but the buds are 50 cent piece size:


And here's the one side of my grow, so you can see papaya1 papaya 2 and Trainwreck (25 day small) next to each other:


Hope ya enjoy!

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Changed the blue mystic and papaya 2 nutes this morning.

Big momma ppm 1000
Blue Meanie ppm 950
Papaya #2 ppm 880

I've heard blue mystic likes light nutes, but this doesn't appear to be the case with this batch.

Had a Vanilla kush at 16 inches that was already fimmed a while ago, threw that into flower with 35 mg Dynagro Gro and 20 mg Dyagro protex. Resulting in a ppm of 750. Will have pics tomorrow while I think of what to name her

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Here's the next generation, gonna try a couple TGA strains in Hydro. I'm hoping I'll love the Chernobyl even more than my trainwreck.
Here's the Chernobyl babies:


And here are my Plush berry (*aka pink lady)

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Harvested the 5 small TW today. will put more clones in the areo unit, they've had longer to veg this time so I'll get a nicer yield. I think I got about 2.5 oz from the 5 small plants (vegged at 6") but I'll have to weigh it when dry.

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Jarred the train wreck, will cure for a week and then give a harvest weight. I'll do a buncha pics tommrow!

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Trainwreck harvest pics:


Papaya 1 48 days:


Papaya 2 47 days:


And here is the Vanilla Kush:


And the Blue Mystics:



Enjoy!

 

[DaGrapeApe]

Papaya 1 and papaya 2 had their res buckets scrubbed, and then filled with tap (ppm 120), and 40 ml of Sugar daddy (I got a free sample so I figured why not) to begin their flush. In 4 days I'll just do straight RO water. Tomorrow the rest of the flower room will have their resses changed.
