Papaya

So finally decided to move my Nirvana Papaya cuts into the flowering room last night or more was forced to by mould :(

I was hoping they would grow a bit more first but there is a blatant lack of light now which in turn caused the mould so not a great start but I'm pretty sure they will recover minus the two I lost :(



They eating the Canna range minus CannaBoost since it costs lots and I don't know how much it will benefit me

You should know that I'm probably one of the laziest growers you will ever meet! I got complacent over time then fell out of my routine and now my ability to procrastinate simple tasks is starting to take it's toll on my grows, but recently I have vowed to change all this so please nag me if you see me slacking!

@m0ff99: Cheers dood! They are starting to smell rather nice too

They are going to need some pruning this weekend really before they start to go into bud as there is a lot of leaf and budding points close together low down and it doesn't look like it's going to naturally shed that this time, plus there are so many nice healthy looking tops there I don't think we need to worry *touchwood* about the rest Might even save my sanity come harvest time, last grow I experimented and let them be and the results led me to believe I'm doing fine messing with them and saving myself a lot of time latter with improved yields at times too

I really like it but I have had it a bit long now so kinda used to it, my mates all love it much more than local commercial things even tasty bits but I'm not sure if that the strain or how I manage to finish it since mines usually cured and the nice bits you get around here commercially ain't

Re the lazyness I'm starting to get a handle on it... Well so far so good anyway

Mummy Papaya is a bit ill atm so Sunday I took some cuts which are showing Mummy was ill but they will pull through and one of them will be new Mummy Papaya! I'm thinking she is in too small pot for the height she grew and punishment she took from being allowed to grow out of control (my fear of hacking) and needs a root prune and replacement compost to be happy but she isn't the right shape lady for me now so time to start again and remember bonsai mums are small trees not real trees

Pics to come soon

Well no pics for a while firstly due my lazyness and recently due to my embarrasment!

Yet again I played it a little too close with toppin up my tank and all the girls fell over :(

I raised them up with a healthy helping of yoyos and managed to get them happy again but at a result I have a fair few dead leaves here and there I really need to cut off but the ladies are hard to get to now as almost done and there are many yoyo lines about that tend to get entangled in my dreads and try kill me off hehehe. The ventillation seems to be trying out the dead leaf and it doesn't have that much longer to go so I think I may get away with it this time

I note with this as I noted before the top of the colas seem to mature what was growing and then go on a massive growth spurt and I get lots more white hairs which I wouldn't usually get this late into flower. This time I'm gonna let that mature off more before I pluck them, got bored of waiting last time since the rest of the plant and cola was pretty much ready to go but I realise now I was looking for amber just cloudy trichs(something I learnt here recent)

It's now been 8 weeks btw! I think 1 more week for my drought and then 10 day flush and see what I'm working with

If I can hide my shame enough I may even put pics up in a week for you all to help me decide on the chop Selective pics probably full macro on trichs

Oh my lazyness! This will not happen to the beans I just ordered, something else in my life must suffer instead of the ladies then

Well more woes hit! I still didn't find the time and energy to take off the dead leaf and it seems that and perhaps the time of year which I'm told is perfect time for botrytis lead to me losing most the tops of my colas if not the whole cola which are currently drying out waiting to be turned into oil :(

There's a fair bit more left tho and still too many white hairs for my liking although I can see some amber

Not sure what to do now tho as every other day I lose another oz to a 1/2 from the looks of it :( I wanted ot let it run a bit longer but guess I should flush now really to avoid the worse but I worry even a flush is gonna make matters worse.

I think I learn from this to filter my incoming air, yoyo plants as soon as they can be yoyo'd and not when they majorly need it Never leave dead leaf about especially amongst the bud! LOL To make it easier I'm going to stop growing my trees :( and grow some smaller plants next time probably sog or scrog if I can work out how to access right to the back of the canopy and underneath with the net down

Another thing tho, I'm sure this never happened when I was using silica no matter what I neglected :(

Any comments welcome tho

No pics too busy and stuff but I will of course have some bud shots later if the rest goes well

Next will be some csb hazelope grown with dedication!
