Good things about Nirvana Papaya
---------------------------------

-Good Germination Rates, 100%, Easy germination, fast to show tap roots.

-Good success with M/F ratio. From the 7 seeds I germinated and the 2 weak ones I culled, and using Metal Halide to initiate the bloom cycle, keeping temps low and using a feeding schedule with high nitrogen profile I had 4/5 females.

-Odor was easily managed, 4 plants in SCROG and with a timed aerosol air freshner smell was not a problem.

- Likes medium to light feeding, growth tends to really take off prior to nutrient changes. Watch carefully for burnt tips to signal overfeeding.

- No problems with Hermaphodites. Even with a green safelight.

- Responds well to my Organic/Chemical feeding in DWC. High PK ferts with organic bloom enhancers recommended.

- Great bag appeal, LOTS of nice crystals and a good harvest potential. Even with my runaway unattended scrog .8 Grams per watt. Trimming wasnt too bad good calyx to leaf ratio.

- Very sturdy, had to snap a few stems because some blooms were touching the light and they grew back as strong as ever.




Not so good things about Nirvana Papaya
----------------------------------------

- One of my plants had a chimera mutation. See picture for more info. Thread info is on the picture.

- Had a hard time getting them out of vegatative phase with MH on 11/13 For a variety of reasons and an inspection I had to force them into 48 hours of darkness, and flip them to HPS 12/12 to bloom. But that did the trick.

- 60 to 75 day maturation time, not really a bad thing tho'.

- Watch your nutrients, I wouldnt call them picky but dont let your TDS get outta control. They will either slow down growing or you get burnt tips. That goes for your PH too.

- A bit more sensitive to light burn than some other phenotypes I've worked with.

-Stretched more than I expected.. But I should have anticipated this, it is a Indica/Sativa strain.



High and taste
--------------

Expansive smoke, green flavors with bizzare tropical type flavor. creeper type high but very relaxing, left me dazed and smiling, stuck in my chair stairing at the TV, feeling the body high, craving junk food. Not bad for 14 day air dried buds.

I have some curing right now and I'll submit a flavor report in a few weeks when some real flavors and potency develops.
