Hi everyone... :wave:... I took these shots just before I put her in 48 hrs of dark. Another amazing Nirvana strain!

Nice Pics :yummy:
How does she smell? I grew out a nirvana papaya, but she didn't smell like papayas or mangos :petting:
The ICE was really nice though :canabis: You will like that one.
I find with Nirvana strains, you have to have a few growing to find the killer pheno, well at least that has been my experience.

Later

Hey, thanks for droppin' in folks!

Brownpants, I have 3 Papaya plants in the grow....the one pictured and another that looks almost like her twin. Both have the aroma of over-ripe fruit, and I put them in the dark today. The 3rd plant is much taller and branchier than the other 2, but still has a forearm-sized main cola.... it has a sharper herbal/citrus, bordering on licorice smell...hard to describe.
The 3rd plant could easily go 3 more weeks, but I will be cutting the other two in a couple days...after about 50 days of flower.
Yes, I am excited about the Ice. I have heard there are a few different phenos w/ Ice, the White Rhino, and a couple others, but I have to say that I found the PPP and the Big Bud to be pretty stable. I have 2 Blue Mystics in the grow too, and one is a Sativa pheno, the other Indica. I agree that you have to grow out a few to find a real keeper.

Thanks Sleepy, how are ya?

Bandan, if I get an Ice plant that looks like this Papaya, I will be happy. Thanks for the kind words!

Coincidently, I have three Nirvana Papayas going right now.... I also have two which are similar (with the third being of a lighter shade green and taller and longer branches)...I don't have Ice going now but have grown it out twice and it is my overall favorite Nirvana strain... I grew Papaya once before….very nice flavor and relaxing buzz, not as potent as Ice, but very good. IMO
I'm only 28 days into 12/12........I wish I had a fast forward button!!!!!

Lookin real nice

Hey Calyxander... :wave:...good to see you here.
Good luck w/ those Papayas...they'll be ready before you know it! :yummy: What are you growing w/ them? I've got Blue Mystic and Pineapple C99 x Grapefruit going w/ mine. I'm putting seeds to soak tomorrow night for my next grow... AK-48, Ice, Bottle Rocket, and my own Bogglegum f2s.

Again, good luck with your grow!

Thanks MG, I've got Nirvana's Chrystal and Rez's A11G4(f2s I made, which I've grown out a few times now, and love!).
Don't know yet what I'll do next....spring is comin' and I can't wait to get outdoors!

Thanks SM....hey it all smokes good w/ a 2 month cure. The catch is keeping it around that long. :biglaugh:

Calyxander, I would be interested hearing what you think of the Chrystal... it was one I have considered trying.
In the 30+ years I have been growing, 75% of my experience has been w/ outdoor cultivation. However, copters, thieves, and insects have driven me indoors, and I have had to learn to grow enough in my little closet setup (see http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=16307) to keep me in pot year round. Ah, necessity IS the mother of invention! I get about 25-30 ounces per year out of my closet grows (4 overlapping), and could get more if I wanted. I only need about 18 ozs a year for my own use, so that is plenty...even leaves me some extra to share w/ friends and for emergencys.
Sadly, I doubt that I will ever grow outside again.

I have Pineapple C99 x Grapefruit (http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=19726) and Blue Mystic (http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=309292#post309292) pics posted from this grow too (if you care...lol).

Howdy MG.......Looks like we have sorta opposite growing histories...lol.....I have been growing outdoors for only about 5 years now. The majority of my grows have been indoor. You are correct about outdoor grows being more problematic, Mother Nature does not always cooperate.... I battle mostly mold and powdery mildew.... not too many bugs for me, but I would HATE to have to rely on outdoor grows only.... way too stressful..... I’ve been growing for a long time also......I planted my first seeds back in 1972....directly in soil outside....big failure, but in those days I had no conception of flowering cycle...I was just growin blind....big failure on that attempt.....gave it up....by the late 70s there were some books available that enabled me to grow some nice buds for the first time....but my first successful crop was indoors! and I never went back outdoors 'till about 5 yrs ago....

Crystal oozes resin with a nice medium body high, overall more of a cerebral type high compared to Papaya. (This is my 2nd crystal grow.)
Crystal stretches much less than Papaya, yield is medium. Excellent, tasty smoke!!
peace,
Calyx :joint:
