Hey everybody I am an experienced grower but this is my first grow journal. I chose Nirvana's Papaya Kush strain which are 100% feminized. Here are the seeds specs.
Papaya is a fast growing, disease resistant, and usually early maturing strain. This heavy, greasy indica stays short and dense, making it very suitable for Sea of Green gardens. Papaya has an exotic tropical aroma that's also reminiscent of whiskey pipe tobacco. The buzz from our Papaya is relaxing, lethargic, and almost narcotic. Specifications Breeder: Nirvana Ltd. Height: short Effect: Stoned - relaxing Regular/Female: feminised Indoor/Outdoor: indoor THC Content: strong; 15 to 24% Flowering Weeks: 8 or fewer weeks Yield (S.O.G.): 450 to 550g in dried grams per square meter (about 9 plants) Difficulty: moderate Grow Space I am growing in a lockable metal cabinet 3'x 42"x 18". The entire cabinet is lined with reflective insulation. Lighting My lighting consists of a 150 watt compact fluoresent bulb for vegitation and a cooled 400 watt hps bulb with a magnetic ballast for flowering. Air circulation I am running three 4" inline duct fans. One is hooked up to the hps's cooltube one pulls air in and blows across the plant tops, and the last pulls air out of the cabinet through an odor sock. Nutrients I am using advanced nutrients sensi grow a and b and sensi bloom a and b. I follow a strict feeding chart that I found online and have been using with a lot of success. Medium I decided to go with soil this time around and am using Fox farms ocean forest. I just checked the Ph and it is right at 6.5 . I started the seeds in 3" pots and will only be transplanting them once into 3 gallon pots. Training Method I have had a huge success with the scrog method and plan on using it again. Ill have to post a pic of my screen setup because i dont know how I would explain it. Temperature The cabinet runs a little hot at 80-85 degrees with a humidity right in the target range of 40-50% Watering I check the soil routinely with a moisture meter I picked up at home depot and water my girls accordingly. |

Alright now that we got my setup out of the way I am currently in day 10 of vegetation.
Originally I germinated eight seeds planted the best looking 5 and only 4 sprouted. Three of the four are healthy and the fourth is coming along very slowly. I am in the process of building a veg box but for now i have my main grow cabinet rigged up for veg so excuse how sloppy things might look now. I am waiting on my girlfriend to get home to take some pics. |

Just a picture of my nutes, soil, veg light, and odor sok
 Here is a picture of my removable scrog setup  Here we have my grow cabinet. It looks a little messy now because its set up as a vegetation cabinet while i"m building a separate veg box but will look much better without the extra light shelf and ducting. Btw above the veg light is a hps bulb in a diy cool-tube.  Day ten of veg - this is the second day i have had them under the flouro before they where under the san agro hps bulb

Yeah absolutely I Have a Ph monitor and its been reading right at 6.5.
I am new to soil and have debating when to start my nutrient cycle. I know I have read literature that says two to three weeks. Any advice for you experienced soil growers?

Looking good mellowman164
 I would start feeding now every other watering. You can get better lower branch development by feeding soon.  Pan4
