Week 9 6/2-6/8
Now at the start of week 9, my outside gals, except L. Cake are now in flower. One of the last top view photos 6/2 of Opium shows flowers forming. She is over 6 feet tall. From the side view photo of Opium last week to the photos take 6/3 show a growth spurt compared to the zinnia in the flower stand behind Opium. This is the first week I’ve had to add nutrients to her feeding. Some lower leaves were yellow. Since I’ve been using amended soil, this indicates Opium is a heavy feeder. Nutrients in soils are used up and she is starting to use her own food sources.
Our temperatures are nearing mid 80's with high humidity. The plants are requiring at least a gallon of water a day.
5 gallons well water
TPS1 60ml used 1 gallon per plant =12ml
Cal-Mag 25ml used 1 gallon per plant =5ml
Recharge 5ml used 1 gallon per plant =1ml
Signal 1.25ml
PPM 1414, PH 6.93, Temp 82.5
Note I do not have to PH adjust my well water. However, our city water comes out of the tap at 8.2 ph so I must PH down using the hose or my inside grows,
============
Germination April 6.
Vegetation

Week 3 added recharge and TPS1 increased ppm to 570.
Week 4 continues with recharge and TPS1. I added Fox Cal mag increasing ppm to 685 - 805.

Week 6 5/12-19 Moved outside in 5 gal air pots receiving rain and well water.
Week 7 5/19-25
Since I was in Colorado last week, I feel very behind on my diaries. Opium received only rainwater for the last 2 weeks. She is 38 inches and has huge leaves. Some have 13 fronds on one leaf. She is taller than the cage support by 2 feet. I removed the peony cage support because Opium phenotype is tall and lanky. Sativa structure all the way.
Week 8 5/26-6-1
Fractal And Opium from Divine Seeds love the natural rain and sunshine evidenced by vigorous growth. Opium is over 52 inches tall and her crown is above my eye level so you may not get anymore top views
They love the natural rain and sunshine evidenced by vigorous growth.
Thank you @DivineSeeds

DIVINE SEEDS
***OPIUM***
Harvest:1000 g/m2
Divine Seeds developed Opium as a new champion strain, unprecedently powerful and loaded with unbelievable quantities of resin. Certainly, no average genetic base could be behind such brilliant parameters! Several Afghani Indica landraces, recognized as most potent and resinous, were bred together with a mighty Brazilian Sativa which Opium inherits its bright berry taste from. Then a great deal of work followed aiming for the highest THC level and endurability as well as a branchy structure that would provide maximal yields. Now we can proudly title Opium the best Indica you could dream of growing!
Indoors these plants mostly stay mid-height (1.5 m), reaching up to 2.0 m out of doors. Depending on your height limitations, Opium flourishes universally in grow boxes, balconies, green houses and terraces. Due to its Afghani parentage, this strain can stand hot weather if provided enough water and some shadow. Responds well to any training techniques: ScroG and SoG, LST, topping and FIM, supercropping. The start of blooming is marked with a rush of growth, when plants stretch almost 1.4x. Expect heavy colas that often require additional supports. Whilst ripening, Opium gives off a pungent earthy stench with fruity and berry undertones, also a bit of pine. Ready for outdoor harvesting in October.
The stoning psychedelic impact of Opium is like being hypnotized (unless you’ve had too much, then it feels more like a blackout). Stone-lovers will appreciate every minute with Opium: its spicy taste immerses your mind into daydreaming, while the body rests flat. Recreation with this psychedelic Indica means silent tripping from one insight to another. Mighty enough to kill chronical pains, Opium is also medically efficient against insomnia, nausea, appetite disorders, muscle spasms, headaches, irritation, fatigue, panic attacks, epilepsy. Best consumed at night time, the effects keep going for up to 4 hours.

@Natrona, the Auto Moon Rock turned out to be a mutant, I'm gonna give her to my next door neighbor for his grow closet just to see how she ends up turning out. I'll start something else since it's still early on in my grow. 😉
@StarLorr, when I applied @DivineSeeds, I asked for Overdose auto but got Opium photo. Hope opium is heavy hitter as they say. The picture with trichomes is over the top. I hope I can replicate it
Hi,
the long christmas tree like shaped plant looks a lttle stretchy. 😊 Is it the phenotype or lack of sun? Second option sounds like bs because they look fat and vital. 🤗 Very nice colours.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks and best wishes from GER.
edit: now i see what probably happenend. The same as what i have recognised with some of my girls: when you put them from inside to outside they stretch more or less. It stops after some sunny . Interesting.
I thought I might be because of the little change in day lenght. But it could also be the spectrum of the lamps or so.
Greets.
@Kommissar_aD, Hi @Kommissar_aD, this is my first time growing Divine Seeds Opium so I don't have reference for growth habits. Imma say it the genetics. I had them in a 4x4x6.5" with the lights 24 inches or more above them prior to putting outside. Our daylight is about 14.5 hours gradually increasing until July-August then the plants will flip to flower 🌼
@PHx91, Thanks buddy. Thanks for visiting my corner of grow Diaries @PHx91. I appreciate the plant love. I like the summer grows however I have to be careful of mold issues with the high temps and humidity. These ladies are vigorous and so far, resist everything except Japanese beetles.
