Thanks for the input! It is always welcome, especially since this is my first time running hydro. The pH and nutrient issues I had earlier in the grow seem to have settled down and her new growth is beautiful. I think at this point I just need to keep an eye on how she is feeding..
Thanks for the feedback! I have actually completely stopped giving her any N at all. the leaves look way darker green than they actually are because they are damn near purple... I think it's genetic, another grower I talked to had the leaves on their papaya go super purple about half way through flower which is exactly what mine did. that being said, they probably are still a little N abundant. but the colas are monsters, the trichomes are plentiful and the aroma is heaven. I can't wait to chop her!Looks more like a bit of nute burn than a deficiency to me Nano. This late in flowering you should cut out anything with N in it and keep the P low as well. With those dark green leaves with burning tips and edges there sure looks to be burning going on.
Does look like you're going to get a nice harvest.
Oops, apologies. Thanks Nano.
Wow - nice grow there! How did you like the waterfarm? I had considered it but went with just the DWC bucket kit first and womdered how the waterfarm compared
I prefer the recirculating aspect if the waterfarms over standard DWC. Better oxygenation of the root zone and I was able to get better results using less nutes. I'm am a noob at hydro though. I have 3 hydro grows under my belt but I started growing in soil over 20 years ago and I'm so much more comfortable with it.
