if you only have 12" of clearance i would start lst them asap. the sooner the better. as far as your color goes just make sure you are phing your water after you add your nutes.

and ph it everytime you feed.

spend the money and get a digital ph meter. you can get them on ebay for like 20 bucks with shipping

Thanks for the advice! I went and picked up a Hole Puncher (To punch holes in the pot ) and some garden tie stuff.. so tomm morning I will be having my first training session with the girls
I am definatly going to bite the bullet with the digital PH meter, I bought the stupid test kit with the test tube but soon realizing that you have to PH test the water after you add nutes it would be hard to match the colors up eh!? LMAO

Anywho Thanks again!

u sound like such a nice stoner bro lol

Little ladies are lookin good. I have some Papaya seeds as well. Waitin for my own place to plant the babies.

Day 13:

So I started to LST the big girl, but in the back of my mind I know this isnt the type of grow I was going for, as next time round I hope to have 6 of the papaya (From the mother being grown) in the same space only having one cola, so I am curious how these will play out and they seem to have quite short node distance so time will tell If I have to bend it once its 12" tall shouldn't be a big deal to just miss the light as I Have another 5 inches past the light they could go.
I notice the #1 girl since she is not right under the light the soil stays MUCH damper, so for now on the plants are being watered on an individual basis

Group shot (its getting REALLY difficult to get them in one shot lol)

Good luck with your grow!!

Lookin Great Bro!!!

Day 14:

Thanks for the props peeps! Well I guess my measurements were a little off, I took a ruler into the dresser today, and from the top of my biggest girl #3 I still have 10 inches to the bottom of my cool tube, her leaves now almost stretch across the pot lol im getting SO nervous but this is defiantly a learning experience.
Does growing 12/12 from rooted clone grow shorter then from seed?
And here's the girls...

The ever challenging group shot...

growing fast bro, nice work..

So I have had freshwater fish tanks before and the difference in the plant growth when adding CO2 was just amazing, so I figure it would be the same with my rediscovered hobby!

I took a 4 Liter milk jug, put in about 4 cups of sugar and water and a package of bakers yeast, shook it up, now my place stinks lol but its good producing like a SOB
Now I just have to wait for lights on to stick it in...
I plan on having 2 of these in there I will make another one in 1 week so every week I will rotate them one position through..

Only problem is I now have 3 liters of milk and will be buying 4 more liters and I don't drink hardly any milk to begin with LOL
Oh the things we do for Chronic

Day 15:

Girls #2 and #3 were already thirsty, wow can I ever notice the water start going quicker the bigger they get! So they got a 250 ml drink of just water and Mollases.
#1 is still quite moist so we are letting her go longer.
The CO2 was in there last night, who knows if it did anything but whatever is happening in there is working!

View past #2 and #3. You can see my Ghetto ass Fan box and the carbon filter behind that, the upper portion of my dresser is blocked by the fan box, I was worried about heat build up but there doesn't seem to be any issue as my fan is plenty powerful enough, I would be curious to be able to see the wind currents inside however that is obviously impossible lol

Looking good bro.

are you gonna top or fimm those ladies. I had some damn good luck with Fimming mine. she is staying nice and short and has a ton of secondary growth.

you should shake that jug up as much as you can and try to attach a top with a hose in it leading to the front of a circulating fan. you can even add another tube going into the jug connected to a fish tank bubbler. this helps a great deal i believe.

I do not plan on doing any sort of topping, I saw the result of yours and I am impressed..
If I wasn't growing straight from 12/12 I would have done it for sure but I am curious what will happen just trying to finish these with one main bud each... And I have also heard it is not a good idea to top when growing 12/12 from seed? And also to add to the list of excuses lol it is a real pain in the ass working on the plants in there, it would be nice if I could just have 6 small plants with 1 bud each less work for me!

Thanks for the idea about the fishtank bubbler in the co2 that is an awesome idea!!
I might rig up some hosing to the jug and put around the plants but once again its tough working in there and from my fish tank days I have read horror stories about the lids getting plugged and the thing exploding lol what a mess

But thanks for the suggestions they are greatly appreciated!!

Day 17:

Well I missed yesterday due to trouble dragging my ass outta bed and beating the timer so I said screw it I knew they were fine lol
However they are already dry today and ready for water tomm, except for #1 which is still moist as usual
I am starting to have more faith that they will stay short enough as long as it is not too hot for them close to the night, that is an ongoing worry



#1



#2 looking sooo good, so short and bushy and really looks like she is budding compared to the other 2, I think shes going to be my best girl!

that depends on to many varibles to come up with even a guesstimate . best way to figure that out is try it yourself.

Thanks guys,
Fuckit: You should post up some pictures of your plant if your able to! It is really tough working in and around this dresser so I am seeing what I can get just doing one main cola on each plant, next time I will have 6 in there so I will yield more... If I ever upgrade to a closet when I move I will be doing LST no doubt about it, its the way to increase your yield!

Tbyles: This is my first indoor grow attempt that I possibly see making it, I have failed many times indoors in the past and had a few successful outdoor grows in the past, how much you get would really depend on strain and different factors, I have 12,000 Lumens per Sq foot over those plants so I am hoping to do as good as I can in that space.. My dream would be an OZ a plant but I highly doubt that would happen, but from clone maybe one day...

Day 18:

#2 and #3 got fed 300 ml of water and seaweed, #1 will need water very soon... They are staying so short I am happy!

Day 19:

I had planned on feeding #1 some plain water today but she is still heavy.. It has been 7 days since her last watering I don't know why she is drinking so little maybe cause she is the furthest from the light eh
I bought an Air Pump and a couple buckets, so now my plan is I am always going to have one full of plain water bubbleing this will get rid of the chlorine and other stuff as well as keep it oxygenated as I hear that is important for the water to not loose all the O2 by sitting. In the second bucket I am going to start brewing my own teas, the fish fertilizer I have now is just too damn stinky.. so Ill be buying some more worm castings, bat guano, molasses and ill let that bubble. its going to be my flowering food so im excited!



#1 by far the weakest of the 3 but you never know...
