Not much to say this week. We had Several rain storms so I only watered once. I topdressed more bloom soil. Opium is maturing faster than the other photo gals outside. Opium has many brown leaves throughout all her colas which would indicate near ready. However, the trichomes show only a few amber tops which means more time.. The top bud looks dead I had yo tilt her over to be able to see it.
I did a lot of clean up on those dead leaves. I was pulling individual leaves off for over 30mins. Well that got tedious so I quickly rubbed my hands over each cola like you would run you hand over military flat top hair cut.
🤣 at this stage of the game, Don't do that. My hands were black and sticky when I finished and neither Dawn dish soap nor ISO got it off. I had stained fingernails for 2 days. The other word of advice is to tie up your hair before working with plants because by the time you are hot you can't touch your hair without getting stuck in it.
The trichome pics are from the bud I broke off. Imma dry that and give it a taste test.
@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.
