Harvest Notes โœ‚๏ธ โ€ข Harvest Timing: Papaya Zoap was harvested at day 63, with select buds taken earlier at day 56 due to mold concerns. โ€ข Drying: After careful trimming, the buds were dried for 12 days. The quality and aroma during drying hinted at the stellar smoke to come. โ€ข Density & Yield: Buds were rock-solid, delivering an excellent yield with perfect density for storage and enjoyment. Terpene Profile & Aromas ๐Ÿ‹ โ€ข Primary Aromas: A tropical explosion with sweet papaya upfront, complemented by creamy, soapy undertones that make her truly unique. โ€ข Complexity: As the buds cure, a hint of citrus zest and exotic fruit emerges, creating a full-bodied terpene profile thatโ€™s simply irresistible. Cultivation Experience ๐Ÿ’ก โ€ข Highlights: Her uniform growth, heavy trichome production, and response to super cropping made her a delight to grow. She thrived under careful spectrum adjustments and defoliation, showcasing her adaptability and vigor. โ€ข Challenges: The dense bud structure made her more prone to mold, especially in a high-humidity environment. However, proactive monitoring and swift action mitigated the spread. Verdict: ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ (9.8/10) Papaya Zoap is a strain that commands attention with her beauty, aroma, and unstoppable growth. While her susceptibility to mold required extra care, her overall performance, yield, and quality were nothing short of exceptional. A growerโ€™s dream and a frosty masterpiece!

Turns out, this girl is an AUTO!! Not a photo. Here we are at day 36! She's looking awesome! I've been doing a lot of LST on it trying to get as many tops as I can. I've even tried some minor HST and she's been bouncing back up quick. I'm having to tie down every day now. Day 21, I plan to defoliate and remove the smaller growth and let her rock out!

Start of week 4 - She is looking real good. She is getting rather bushy but is not growing much taller yet. still only at roughly 13cm. Day 22 - 23/01-2024 - watered 1.3L (1ml of calmag-grow-bloom-top mixed with 1.5l water) Day 26 - 27/01-2024 - watered 1.5L (1ml of calmag-grow-bloom-top mixed with 1.5l water) - She has started growing a bit taller and has reached 17cm today Day 28 - 29/01-2024 - She has been growing a little taller and has now reached 20cm total. I really like how compact and bushy she seems, so many branches on so little stem. ๐Ÿ˜ She does not seem to have started flowering yet so i'll start my next week as veg week aswell.

A-Day 81, B&C-Day 77 A- Is already 1/2 way through week 12, she almost all cloudy, with some amber tricomes now. I have started her โ€œflushโ€ just water for two feeds now. Iโ€™m going to keep watch, and see when is the right time, no rushing this go around . ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’จ B- is doing great, fattening up daily. A few more weeks at least, I hope she gets as big as her sister A ๐Ÿ˜she got a full strength dose of nutrients twice this week and a water only feed in between. PPM was close to 1000 . C- is thickening up, I have her a slight defoliation and tied her down a bit to spread her branches. She is turning into a beast ๐Ÿคฉshe also got 2 full dose feeds, and a water in between. Just keep spinning them around to get the even coverage.

Hi Gromies, well sometimes I can be my own worst enemy seems I defoliated ( actually I'll blame the apprentice Urban grow cat ๐Ÿ˜บ) He defoliated a little to much, it's hard to get good help these days! Anyway she got a bit of light burn directly under light bulb area. A mix of to much defoliation & I also turned light up to super lumen setting & being lazy I hadn't hooked the extraction fan & ducting up to the light ( it's an air cooled light shade) pump air from outside tent through sealed light shade & exhaust it outside. I hooked that up & raised the light around 20 cm & all is good now, some burnt leaves. She is bouncing back & grown more leaves. It may have slowed Bud development a little! I changed light cycle to 12.5 hours of darkness 11.5 hrs on to try & kick her into gear , fool her into thinking the season is coming to an end with shorter daylight hours. I may increase dark period a little more bit by bit, experiment a little, I've read of other growers who give plants less light around week 6 till harvest. She is getting a faint lemony smell. Lollipoped some of the smaller secondary branches, any tips low down not receiving much light & don't look like they will get much bigger, other than that I'm leaving her alone, probably just try & seperate any close growing colas so we don't get any Bud rot. Thanks for checking out my diary please leave a comment & some likes would be great so that myself & the apprentice grow cat can progress from apprentice stage ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ™€

Day 77 i turned off the lights at 10 pm Friday and started my ice water flush and 48 hrs of darkness. i have not done ice water flush before, the theory is that the harsh cold forces the plant to build more trichomes to better prepare for pollination its an easy thing to do and takes no extra time so why not try it the water ppm is 435 and the first round run off was 1139 ppm second round of flush 789 ppm. the reason for 2 rounds of flush is in the first flush round the nute's latch onto the water and the second washes them away. i wait 15-20 min between flushes. that's it for today's update keep your stick on the ice Day 78 not much to say really water ppm is at 435 and runoff of round one for the day is 621 i will update with round 2 in an hr. UPDATE: ok so round 2 leaves it at 521 ppm Day 79 ok ppl this is the last day before harvest no water just ice ( i know it melts but its not much water lol ) oddly after over 48 hrs in the dark i have seen no change in the color of the plant it does not matter but i was hoping lol i took some pics for your viewing pleasure

* ********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination *********** * It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process๐Ÿ‘ She has certainly been going through the beautiful stage of senescence and her fade is gorgeous. The purples and yellows coming out are great......covers up the brown spots๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Her buds are densing this week as we work on bring down the humidity. Running in the mid 60โ€™s for humidity late in flower is a different experience and one that takes some getting used to. Bring down further to low 50โ€™s has really helped to bring out her frost as well. Kept the humidity high to form big buds......now lowering to make them more sticky๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a weekโ˜น๏ธ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘ Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16โ€ hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see how it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Little more detail...... June 20/20 - Day 71 - Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0ph - 8L given to get a good flush - Runoff in pots already were 7.8pH and 485ppm. - after 8L water runoff was 7.0pH and 370ppm. - she is 29โ€ tall and 30โ€ wide. - tricombs still mainly cloudy.....review again in couple of days. June 21/20 - Day 72 - Dry out day - buds are firming up......squeezed a couple๐Ÿง - temps are nice outside so tent able to hold 75 degrees and 51% humidity. June 22/20 - Day 73 - Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!! - Given 2L watering. - No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium. - She will be ready soon. Thinking darkness on Wednesday and harvest on Saturday?? June 23/20 - Day 74 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!! - not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can - her tops are getting really pointy now and her leaves are very yellow. - checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday. June 24/20 - Day 75 - 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0 - Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture. - drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole. - into darkness tonight So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!! Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmieโ€˜s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Mephisto has bread a very nice girl. She is big and sticky and grown very well considering the environment she has been given. Battling the high pH and still turning out as she has is awesome and much respect!!!! Great job Mephisto, canโ€™t wait to run her again.......just so happens I have several more seeds of her๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

Hi all ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Welcome to my ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Š week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a good week. Thank you so much for your support on this bananas journey ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š I am so happy to see how girls are developing in recent days. It's seems that Athena finally stopped her stretch and hoping that Xena will follow her sister very soon. Buds are gaining weight and size rapidly. Lots of nice colours and tonnes of trichomes on those buds already. Week 10 Dec 18-24 Dec 18-19 Mainly observation. Xena is still stretching like crazy. both girls are developing beautifully. Dec 20 First watering for this week. 7.5 ltr beetwen both. Runoffs PH's Athena 6.2 Xena 6.3. Dec 21 Due to lack of light at lower parts of conopy decided for another selective defoliation, lowered a bit tallest branches with colas dangerously close to light by tieing them to netting. Couple cm will make a huge difference here. Could not clear well at the back wall of the cabinet due to limited access.I'm very happy with final result. Dec 22-23 Joyful observation of my ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘Šgirls development ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ Dec 24 All is looking great. It's seems that stretch is finally stopped. Girls looking healthy and happy. Second watering for this week. 8 ltr beetwen both. Both runoffs PH 6.2. It's the end of this week. Happy Xmas everyone ๐Ÿคถ๐ŸŽ„โ„๏ธ๐ŸŽโ˜ƒ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ„ Stay tuned for new week update โœจ๐Ÿ€โœจโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š
