A few months ago, I germinated three opium poppy seeds. Each seedling was given a different setup:
1. Outdorgrow in a 30L container
2. Outdoorgrow in a 75L container
3. Indoorgrow in a 30L Airpot
This post focuses on the indoor plant, which was trained using various techniques such as mainlining, topping,
LST (Low Stress Training), and some supercropping.
The indoor plant thrived from the beginning, showing vigorous and healthy growth. It responded well to training,
consistently displaying a robust appearance. Its growth seemed effortless, requiring only adequate water and minimal nutrients.
Training began with topping and continued for 9 weeks during the vegetation phase.
The main technique used was mainlining, shaping the plant into a circle using pipe cleaners.
The plant's soft stems and branches made it easy to train without causing stress.
After 9 weeks of vegetative growth and training, I was satisfied with the result and initiated the flowering phase.
The plant continued to flourish, primarily needing water and care. Only a few NPK feedings were necessary,
but it received many beneficial supplements with watering.
The growing medium used was Terra Preta MJ-Mix, and I applied a mycorrhizal inoculant called DYNOMYCO.
This significantly enhanced root development and nutrient breakdown. Essentially,
And i applied aTodpressing with Insectfrass, so they stayed lovely green.
I was feeding the microorganisms in the Terra Preta mix, which in turn kept the plant healthy.
The plant developed beautiful colas while maintaining its circular shape. Harvesting was straightforward.
The aroma was fruity (reminiscent of apricot) with a strong, gassy undertone.
The buds are currently curing. I've taken photographs of the plant's "skeleton" and some pre-cured buds,
showcasing the impressive trichome development.
The OutdoorPlants are still growing, and the Diary will continue
@Mrs_Larimar, @deFharo. Was it not "opium for the masses" ?
Lol
I'm growing three of these too. In week one of flower. I wish you the best and look forward to some excellent photos😉👍
After 3 weeks these girls are looking great, with perfect color and internode spacing! I would invite you to look in on my current diarys and always appreciate your feedback.
Love the diary name. Glad to see you’re planning to grow this one outdoors. I’m going with Auto Opium and either Euphoria or Fractal. I see AC Infinity has LED UV lights now so I’m going to try that outdoor this year. A bit of extra UV at peak sun will make Canada in September feel more like California in July. Anyway always fun. Oh and congrats on legalization in Germany.
Sorry for being a fool 🤦 I have just gone back through the diary like a normal person would have done and seen your super cropping pictures with pen please forgive me
I got hooked up with these seeds as well along wit a few other strains, looking forward to getting them popped, yours are looking very green and healthy!
