Opium week 18 8/4-10
Auto Opium week 7 & 8 7/28 - 8/4-10
I am late for my outside ladies diaries updates. Life has been getting the best of me lately. I’ve been packing my daughter’s room and moving her things to her new home. For those that have followed my since my beginning here, Cancer left me with neuropathy and arthritis in my hands. I can no longer do my glass fusing or flame work. To close this chapter of my life, I’ve been inventorying glass, tools, equipment, molds and supplies to sell. The most stressful has been appealing Medicare claims and receiving the second denials on the same claims. They are the last payer of record so good luck getting any reimbursement you are entitled to.
My apologies to all of you for being so brief on your diaries and not providing many comments.
Photos are from 7/28- 8/9 for both weeks.
For my outside ladies, Opium, Auto Opium, Fractal, and Lemon Cake not much changed. They continue to live in sweltering conditions. Temps are in the upper 80-90s with humidity over 105. In addition to the heat, Hurricane Debby started up the coast but was downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it got to us. Expecting our normal thunderstorms, I waited til morning to bring yhe ladies inside.
Overnight, we had wind gusts of 25mph. Yeah, then I brought all gals into the house. The photo gals are strong and with thick stalks were able to withstand the winds. Both Opium’s got blown over Auto Opium is thin and spindly and before I could save her from the winds and rain, she got whipped side to side. The top 2 feet bent hard one way and the top 6 inches bent the other direction. The pics show my attempt to bandage the damage 😟 to her top cola with chopsticks and electrical tape.
I top dressed all ladies with Bloom Soil for organic fertilizer. Buds are fattening up, trichomes are minimal at this time but some fragrance is starting to be noticed.
Thank you @DivineSeeds

@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.
