last night they got a feeding of 2 tsp of grow big, 2 tsp of tiger bloom, 1 tbs of big bloom, and 4 tbs of molases mixed in a gallon of water. ph'd to 6.3.
the temps have been getting up in the low 90's and down to the high 60's. humidity has been between 40 and 60%
these things are getting fat and greasy.
the papaya seeds still haven't cracked, i started 2 more bagseed. i've had real bad luck at cracking papaya seed, so far it's 15 seeds and i've only got 3 to sprout.
the 2 bubbleponic plants i transfered to soil are doing great, nothing but tap water ph'd to 6.3. i've got to read back in my log to see how old they are.
feel free to ask questions or give suggestions
pics coming soon

2 more bagseed got planted last night, so i've got 3 papaya, 2 seedlings, and 4 seeds germanating.
the 3 papaya will be getting fed a mix of 1 tbs grow big, 1 tbs tiger bloom, and 1 tbs of big bloom, mixed to a gallon of water ph'd to 6.3
the seedling i've got in 12/12 will get this feeding at half strength. the other will get plain water.

compared to the olny other grow i have under my belt, these papayas are kicking ass. my setup has a lot of improvments. the mylar enclosed cabniet is the biggest. more use of the light. don't be shy folks questions and suggestions are welcomed.

i love being there when the lights come on. i went in about 5 minutes early tonight and gave them a good feeding. those buds are getting so fat, they look like they are oozing. have some syrup for my waffles, yummy

I wanted to thank you and the Ganja Gods for helping me. After the 36 hour dark period to 12/12 I noticed all 3 papyas had nice pretty pistils. Looks like I should get 3 girls. How much do you think you will end up with when you are done? Its hard to judge just by pictures. I am just curious what is possible. Great job. They are looking awesome.

hey wildfire, i got 100% females but papaya has been a hard seed for me to sprout. out of 15 seeds i've olny got 3

hey douche, this would be a tough one to call, these things has buds hiding all over the place. and it's almost like they are growing into one big awesome bud on each branch.

i'm smoking on my last bowl of weed until this gets ready. but i will be in los cabos, mexico for a fishing trip next weekend. i heard that weed is pretty much an open market there. i'd love to be able to bring some home but the risk are way to high for that.

i'll get some pics up in a day or 2. not much change.

i'm still thinking of ordering some more seeds, i want a good energetic smoke, the opposite of the papaya. any suggestions?

from what i've seen they have an excellent female to male ratio. i've talked to a few others that have had a hard time getting papaya to sprout. i never have any problems with bagseed. i've been growing vegtable and flower gardens outside ever since i can remember. so i really don't think it is me.

what method are you using? i just get a wet rag, soak it in warm water, squeeze it out, put the seed in the rag drop a few bits of water on the seed, then fold the rag and but a lil bit of water on top of the rag, then put it in a ziploc bag on top of the water heater..im not sayin its you, but mine have been in the freezer for a few months then i did that method and the all germed...mabye you got a bad batch?

still waiting on seeds to sprout. the rest of it is looking great. the buds are just getting thicker and juicier. i still need to read back to see how old those bubbleponic transplants are. i have them both in the closet with the papaya.
