  7. Nice! The dimension of your grow room is about the same as mine (my first grow room)! :) Mine have 5 feets thought! I got a 250 watts HPS light also and it think this will be ok for 3 plants in my cabinet. Maybe I will complete with a 150 watts HPS that I can buy at a big store like home depot that we have here. Its called Reno-Depot! :) The 150 watts HPS is at 70$.

    Do you have pictures of your grow room?

  12. HI, BLAZE.
    i'm a real papaya fan. started last year and germed 7, 5 of which were fems. took cuts from 'em all and been growing it ever since. 8-9 months now and still loving it's fruity, can't be bothered to do much type buzz.
    As you now know they are damn quick to start budding . I see them start appearing about a week or so into 12/12. To be perfectly honest first time i flowered i was so hard up and weedless I started picking at 6.5 weeks and was still damn nice, in fact i found certain plants were more fruity cut before the 8 weeks recommended time for 12/12.
    I top ALL my plants so I don't have to bend and mess about with height issues, so I've yet to grow a single cola plant. However it's only going to be a 20-25 percent stretch anyhow
    however the double/ treble colas are still quite impressive
    here's a few pics. I didn't use anything but fish blood and bone and bonemeal teas during flower, so no high tech stuff.

    don't know why the pics are not here, but click and see!
    good luck, I'll be keeping an eye on your progress
     
  13. I am confused your seedlings died? These plants do look like clones with the alternate leaf growth but anyway, however you are growing them looks fine. They look to be in 1 gallon pots which is too small though. They will still grow but figure on getting .8 ounces per plant. If you transplanted them into 3 gallon pots 2 weeks ago you could have figured on getting 2-3 ounces per plant. Still, it might not be too late if you are gentle :) Good luck as regardless your Goddesss look Dandy!
     
  14. thanks chaosmonger and lucian for the words :D and yes i had 3 plants 2 papaya 1 hindu kush but the hindu kush and 1 papaya died. and chaosmonger how long did you leave them in vegatation state when you grew from seed?
     
  15. also think ill mention on here first before i think about doing a grow jounral on them is that i have got two 15 day old hindu kush under LEDs at the moment. :D
     
  16. hi blaze.
    I left them vegging until I had enough lower branches to take all the cuts I needed(and a few more for accidental death!) I topped 'em though to bring this on.
    .....In all about 6 weeks, but I tied a few for experience. Too long for a 400/600w lamp methinks, but I was in no hurry at the time. now I'd give them 3 or 4 weeks as I'd have 20 in there.
    you could scrog the one plant no problem, but that would be a fair bit longerI'd think, nearer 7 weeks or so?
    just my thoughts though, someone might be able to tell you different from their experiences.
