Your baby looks GREAT. And i am making an early prediction that one papaya is male and the WW is male. Going by this chart and what i see. It could take up to 8 weeks till harvest.

For real ? never heard about that before, thanks for sharing r2 :) about the seeds, the WW is a feminized seed I bought so I hope you are wrong with that one, not sure about the other two, but we'll see in around 20 days :)

Will keep an eye on the seeds I've home and the ones I plant from now on :)

Almost got a new bulb today xD went to the shop with the money ready to buy one of those 105W agrolite bulbs for the pc box and when I saw it was like.... that things is huge!!!! asked the guy if he could measure it and with the thing you screw the bulb on it was 38 cm!! I thought those bulbs were around 30cm, I can't fit a 38cm bulb in a 40cm pc box.... But I saw pictures of pc boxes with one of those 105W (maybe more?) bulbs, so what's going on ? are the agrolite bigger than some other branch's bulbs or my pc box is one of the small ones ?

I'll have a look but I'll also check some 23W bulbs, maybe I can put 5 of those instead of the 105W bulb, pity coz I really wanted to get that one :)

Well you won't really know till you get it. might need to re-think your box.

Yes, I'm already kind of rebuilding the box coz there are a few things that have to be improved :) Anyway, I measure the box again and there is no way I can fit a 38cm bulb there.

try like 3 46w bulbs...might work out for you if u can keep temps good

Yes, I'll look for some small bulbs today. I hope they don't raise the temperature much coz right now the temps are already 21 to 27ºC aprox. and I already have 3 fans inside.

Will update on the new seeds later today :)

At the end I got 4 23W 2700k bulbs coz I couldn't find anything bigger at a normal price, do you think this will be alright ?

Here are some pictures of the new seeds I'm growing:

This are some pictures I took yesterday, I was afraid coz they were taking a bit longer than the previous seeds, 4 days to sprout, but at day 5 they started to show life :D

And these are some pics I got today in the morning, I was afraid again because as you can see on the pictures the plants had the leaves yellow!!! and the white widow had the two small serrated leaves purple....

when picking a light just remember. watt divided by max lumens = lumen per watt. so find the light with the best output per watt.

The lumens per watt is alright, 23W bulbs with 1550lm each (67.4lm/W). The thing is that I think the lumens don't add so I'll get 1550lm in every spot of the box instead of the 6200lm of the 4 bulbs together. And with an 105W I would get (around) 7500lm in every spot. Which is a huge difference.

Anyway, I'll def. give it a try and see how it works with this bulbs, I should get some better results than what I'm getting right now, and I'm also planning on adding one or two 6500k bulbs so it will be over 100W and over 7000lm all together :)

Also crazytrain got 15g with the same setup and few other grows with similar lighting got 10g per plant and that would be a good result for the new seedlings :)

Well, I just wanted to let you know that after a few hours of work I've changed my light system and made few other minor improvements on the pc box. Right now the pc box has 4x23W (92W) bulbs which I hope will make the plants happier than they were before :D Also they've got some more space to grow now.

Before:

After:

I ended up putting the piece of wood because i haven't got any tools to make holes in metal and couldn't think of another way to hold the bulbs, with wood you just need to cut and screw or hammer and you are ready to go :)

I still want to do a few more improvements but that'll be some other time :) Right now I'm happy with the results so it's time to see how the girls like it and check if there's a change in the temperature and humidity.

Day 10 from seed (day 6 from sprout)
Light: 3x23W 2700k + 1x23W 6400k
Pot: 1.2L biobizz

I removed one 23W 2700k and added one 23W 6400k. Will change it back in 10-15 days.
So here are the 3 new plants I'm growing, they seem to be doing fine :)

Papaya (hopefully two females hehe):

White Widow:

The ww has some purplish colour under the leaves, never seen it before but it's probably nothing.

I love this stage of the plants when they are starting to grow... :leaf: :leaf:

That'd be great coz I would like to FIM one and maybe try something else with the other one :)

Day 63 (36 days flowering)
Light: 64W
Pot: 1L with biobizz all-mix

I had to move it to the night-stand because I didn't have space in the pc box where I have two of the new seeds now. I'm a little low in watts in the night-stand right now but I'll probably add one or two more bulbs this week.

Here a couple of pics:
