I just harvested my papaya plants the other day.. Definitely a great breed, they're in jars at the moment curing. First few smaller flowered branches brought in about 60 grams (useless wet weight, of course) with the buds separated from stem. I have not put the other 3/4 of the plant in jars since harvesting went for 3 days in stages.

How long did you Flower for?

the plant that is just over 2 feet tall i would say that is the mango because it smells of fruit and very sweet the other 2 wich are both over a foot smell the same like my last grow witch was diesel ryder so im thinking they are the lightning but theirs still time to go so i cant be certain for sure but i defeinitly get a fruity smell from the first one

well, I've read the Mangos can take 6-10wks! you're at just over 4wks now...so, around 2-6 more weeks. in two weeks you should pick a small bud from near the top of the plant, quick dry it, over a day or two, smoke it, then see. but I would wait at least 4 more weeks...

come check my Mangos out...https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/145957-5-strains-medi-bud-thc.html:bigjoint:

this is one...they're 13 days flowering.

littel update with pics for ya today plants are doing ok ive been feeding them nutes every wattering they seem to be fine with it at the moment i will be flushing in the 8th 9th week tho so hopefullt that will get the last of the nutes out, just to re cap ive been feeding them on Hamerhead nutes from Adavanced Nutrients and also Bio Bloom i think my PH meter might be out of wack at the moment so im gonna have to callibrat that asap.

but their looking good buds are getting bigger all the time hope fully they will turn out to be a good smoke :-P

so its now past the 6 week mark of flowering im gonna chop on the 15th of April (im hoping) theirs alot of orange heirs but still alot of white ones too some im hoping they will turn in the next 2 weeks or so at the end of this week i will start flushing the plants and they should hopefully be all good to go after the flushing period.

the budz are thickening nicely and caked in crystals :lol:

First 2 pics are of the smallest plants i think they are the lightning strike cuz they smell around the same and the smell is very strong a really good skunky smell the last pic is of the Mango/Papaya which smells very fruity.

my seed co says 6-10wks for the mango...I looked at several sites with mango...they're all a little different. I'm sure you'll get lots of nice smoke from em.
they're all looking really good! I'll harvest some of my mango a few weeks after you, but I'll let some go longer also, just to see how it is...

So its bin along time coming but ive finaly got to the 2 week flush. ive been keeping a close eye on them through the scope an i can definitly see that they will be ready at the 9th week i can see amber thrics starting to form on the budz still a few clear ones left but mostly all are cloudy. the Mango has developed a nice thick cola and feels rock hard which i was aming for so i ahve a fat grin on my face at the moment lol all is well. heres some pics i know the scope shot is a bit dogey and hard to see but ive tried to enhance the quality best i could so here you go, enjoy:eyesmoke:
