My theory because it is hotter is just because there would be more glass surface area close to the plant. When the bulb is vertical you only have the small area of the tip of the bulb, all the heat along the sides will simply rise away...
However, I am quite a ripcase lmao...

This makes perfect sense. I am currently working on a way to get it to hang horizontally with a reflector.

THanks bro. I have another as well, but I have to hook a buddy up with that. Gotta spread the love!

Update Time

Business as usual. looks like she is stretching up a bit. Flowers are coming along quite nicely. Still barely any stink to her at all.




Check out the knuckles on the top of her.











I picked up some OnaGel the other day and started using that around the door and the exhaust/intake areas. Stuff seems to be working out pretty well.

The Papaya doesnt stink at all but the Blue Dots stink pretty bad.

She is totally growing so fast now. Everyday I can see a difference in the flower structure. When I get back from Cali in a few weeks Im sure she will be nice and plump!

Question on what size pots your papaya is in ????? subscribed
Click to expand...

I am using 2 gallon rose pots with four added air tubes.

2 inch layer of chunky perlite on the bottom and a blend of FF ocean forest soil with Nickel City Just Right Xtra soil.

The air tubes allow for direct airflow to get into the bottom of the pot where the perlite bed is.
.
a major portion of the roots end up in the bottom of the pot and they love fresh air.

more air equals more growth.

Update time

Today I decided to die the the lower 8 branches to allow for more air flow and more light penetration. hope it works, she seems to be responding well to the tie down.

before the tie down

Ive heard nothing but great things about it from my friends that use it. everyone seems to be totally impressed with it.

















She was looking a bit parched so I gave her a nice watering. I will go back in about an hour and give her some more water as well.

business as usual all the flowers are filling in nicely. the four tops are doing great. shes starting to get a bit of a tangy fruity fragrance.
