First Time DIY Bubbleponics. NIrvana Papaya

Here...............

I just placed 5 nirvana papaya seeds into a wet paper towel and placed it in the grow area for the warmth.
Lets go..

All 5 of the papaya seeds craked and have sproutes.
i placed them into rockwool one of them have the first set of leaves.
I have heard some bad reviews about the germination rate.
So this is a perfect example that the Nirvana Papaya seeds have a 100% germination rate in this case.

Its been a while since las post but i haven't been getting too much response but here we are Day 57, Flowering Day 1
The plants have gown a lot and they are covered in pre-flower pistils.

The 2 Nirvana Papaya Plants are very healthy at 2 weeks old. They are now on 12/12 as well. Waiting to Find the sex out.

The tall Cheese plant is slowly turning yellow just loosing the green out of the leaves i feed them once a week with my DNF nute solution

Any Ideas Would Be Great

Are they all in 12/12? If so it is normal for the lower leaves to turn yellow and die off. Recent info say to increase the N during at least the first 2-3 weeks of flower to keep as many healthy leaves as possible. Might want to try that.

Yes they are on 12/12 but only for 2 days now.. and i am still feeding them veg nutes.... probably for another week or so

How do you make it so pictures appear in the post so you don't have to open them to see them ????

If you were doing hydro I could advise you better. But what I think is happening is that the plant is borrowing the N from the bottom leaves to build the new growth that always comes from a switch to 12/12 but it is kind of soon for that to be happening. Perhaps a soil grower could advise your better.

Why are my leaves turning yellow but only on 1 plant
they keep slowly going yellow and i am using veg nutes still and today is 1 week of flowering.

Yellow Leaves Hmmmm????

Since they are going into flower and plant will naturally grow taller as it looks for the light while the lights are out. To do this it borrows from the lower leaves. Since you do ground and I do hydro that's about it. It is very natural for it to happen that way and in hydro you can add a bit more N to combat it. I'd check around with some soil growers for more detailed info.

Some pictures of the plants about 4 weeks into flower.

Lets see some harvest estimates there are 4 plants
2 have been topped and low stress trained(the two Cheese the larger 2)
The Nirvana Papaya were vegged for only 2 weeks then i switched the lamp there have come along swell so far.

Some more Pics the Nirvana Papaya are on the right and the Kiwi Cheese is on the left

Lets do a Review

September 10



October 11 out of the Bubbleponics Into the Dirt Way to many issues i fucked up.



December 10 Day 1 flower small Papaya plants





January 5 Now

Lets see something anyone else growing either of these strains

i would say about a month, its hard to wait cause to you they look like they hardly grow anymore, but trust me wait and they will fill out better..... and you harvest when the trichs start to change amber, id let at least half if not more change before harvesting, grow looks good btw

How Much Longer????????????????
Both plants are 5-6 weeks into flower
Any guesses on expected yeild?

nice grow.
