What is more beneficial for this strain, LST, or scrog?

Both techniques serve the same purpose; it will depend on your setup and preferred style of growing.

Is it suitable for hydroponics?

Yes, just keep in mind that autoflowers in hydroponic setups tend to grow much taller, so you need to manage your vertical space. Additionally, bear in mind that plants can take longer to finish their cycle in hydroponic setups.

Is 8-9 weeks only the flowering time?

No, that would be the whole life cycle of the plant, from seed to harvest. Thanks for asking.

What do you mean by a good structure for LST?

Thanks for asking. It means that the length of the branches plus the internodal spacing makes it easier to perform plant training techniques compared to the structure of an Indica-dominant hybrid, for example.

Will it finish at the same time as the Tropicana Cookies? Both say 8-9 weeks.

Generally speaking, yes. Just keep in mind that since they’re different strains, it’s possible that one finishes before the other, but they should be ready for harvest at roughly the same time.

Papaya Cookies Auto™ is a World Champion strain and one of the Best New Strains of 2024 (Autoflower World Cup). Born from Papaya (Oni Seeds) × Cookies Auto F5, this F5 sativa-dominant hybrid is a flavor-rich resin machine, bred for extractors, flavor chasers, and growers who want fast, premium results with minimal effort.

straight chronic

The papaya cookies is some straight chronic! Really impressed with this strain, sticky gooey goodness that smells even more amazing. Very fast growing it was done in 10 weeks from seed. Very large plant too! It was over 4ft tall indoors! Loaded with tall buds they grew evenly with very little defoliating needed. 5 outta 5 hands down my new favorite by fastbuds

testing 2024 strains

Papaya Cookies is sooooo strong - yet she is still not a Couch Lock Strain. She got me flying high for hours the first time I tried her and ever since she is the strain I turn to when I need an extra boost in THC. I love the Fruity Terpenes and how rock hard her Nuggets get. On top of that she is incredibly frosty and has an amazing bag appeal...

euphoric

had a very good indica dominant effect, probably 60/40 or 70/30, the taste was fruity, more black cherry scent, the effect was euphoric when smoked, then a good kick and it seemed to freeze&icy you, I think this is the child of some gorilla

A very unique strain

She grows Incredibly well and the buds are beautiful and dense. The final product leaves you with buds that smell and taste sweet and tart somewhere between a sweet Strawberry mixed with a tart pear. Beautiful.

I ordered this strain through a friend from Germany. Regardless of the fact that she was late because of my mistake at the beginning, she still forgave me a little and gave me some flowers. Papaya's flower color leaves you speechless. Purple flower, full of aroma. It smells just like cookies. It responds well to LST, likes nutrients. I combined natural light and a lamp (when the temperatures were lower (due to the difference in temperature, I got an intense purple flower). Strong effect. I am very satisfied.
