Papaya Feminized - Black Elephant Genetics

Papaya: the compact indica with a tropical fruit aroma

Papaya by Black Elephant Genetics combines the aromatic heritage of Purple Thai with the sturdiness of a classic Afghani. The result is an indica-dominant strain (80% indica / 20% sativa) with a compact frame and thick branches, completing its flowering in just 55 days and forming dense, resinous flowers with a fruity, earthy aroma reminiscent of ripe papaya and tropical fruit.

Why choose Papaya

✓ Feminized: every plant will be a productive female, with no males to identify.
✓ Indica-dominant: 80% indica and 20% sativa, with a compact, sturdy structure.
✓ 55 day flowering: a fast cycle for an early harvest.
✓ Very high yield: up to 600 g/m² indoors and up to 1.5 kg/plant outdoors.
✓ Tropical aroma: ripe papaya and tropical fruit over an earthy base.

Indoor cultivation

Develops a short, compact plant, 80-90 cm indoors, with thick branches and short internodes, ideal for small spaces or SOG setups with many small plants. Its controlled size makes topping optional; gentle LST helps open up the structure and spread the light across the branches. It yields up to 600 g/m² after just 55 days of flowering. We recommend an airy, well-draining substrate, regular pH control (6.0-6.5 in soil), clearing large leaves and lower branches to improve airflow and an activated carbon filter, as its fruity aroma grows stronger in the final stretch.

Outdoor cultivation

Outdoors it reaches 1.2-1.5 m and can yield up to 1.5 kg per plant in deep, rich, well-draining soil. It performs best in mild, sunny climates such as the Mediterranean, in a spot that gets direct sun for much of the day. Its flowers are dense and heavy, so it is worth staking the branches, choosing a well-ventilated location and checking the inside of the flowers if the end of the season turns humid.

Aroma and flavour

A fruity, exotic profile led by ripe papaya, accompanied by notes of juicy tropical fruit. Underneath lies an earthy, slightly musky and spicy base inherited from its indica roots, which balances the sweetness and gains depth in the final weeks of flowering.

It has a low difficulty level: it is a compact, sturdy and rewarding plant, suitable for any level, that only asks for a stable pH, good ventilation and low humidity during flowering so its dense flowers ripen smoothly.

Is it suitable for small spaces?
Yes. At 80-90 cm tall indoors it fits very well in 80x80 or 100x100 cm grow tents and in SOG setups, with no need for complex techniques to control its size.

How should I store them until sowing?
In a cool, dry and dark place, ideally in the fridge inside an airtight container. This preserves their germination power for a long time.
