Divine Seeds Contest: Auto Opium (and probably my last grow)
Day 60 and a new week, with lady #2 starting to show her age by getting some more yellowish fan leaves. Sugar leaves on both started to show a very lovely, deep violet color. By breeder information they should be ready in 60–63 days. I guess it will be a few more in my case.
Lady #1 is foxtailing a bit. Summer grow, definitely, and it was over 30 °C outside most of the daytimes, so I couldn’t avoid peak temperatures of more than 31 °C fully. Like every indoor grower – no restriction to this kind of plant only – I like to see self-grown green become big and bushy, but I guess with a 1,60 m tent it‘s better to stick with shorter specimen.
Even some fan leaves are getting into their autumn dress now, and wow, I like their style! Pistils are still white to more than 50%, so ne reason to check for harvest proximity or to feed them pure water only.
Day 62: With their cola foxtailing, tallest bud is now at 91 cm. Color is gaining saturation. A bit more intense leaf curl on very few of the uppermost leaves; nothing to worry about at this stage. Think I can do a microscope tour soon, even if I know it’s too early. ;)
I'm right there with ya, a few more weeks. I usually chop day 77-85. Autos usually require 50-60 days of flowering and then you add the veg time (21-35 days usually)
@Dabking, thank you! Yes, I see, we’re equal up to the height. :D
Just saw some buds sparkle like being wet – this looks very much like a great harvest. Yours too.
I can’t insist on experience, but from my limited knowledge I agree breeder’s times, although mostly declared as seed-to-harvest, should rather be read as blooming time. Which is quite ok for me. Really would like to see them in full colors before being cut.
Pi + sensors + custom exhaust fans?! Holy shit, that sounds awesome dude. I'm not sure why this will be your last grow but with that kind of engineering it is a shame to lose you. Good luck yo.
@Waveform, I mean, you don't want to be a bad neighbor. You pretty much have to stick it out for that Mimosa Cookies or it'd be rude. 😏 And if there is another plant on the way it's probably a good idea to get a few more seeds. I mean the tent is up anyways, right?
About a decade ago I was homebrewing in my garage and had a similar situation with a neighbor. Once you see the magic, you get the itch. Abracadabra, yo.
@NastyNatesJungle, Maybe I’ll continue, but with lower priority. I must confess I infected a neighbour who used to grow aeons ago. In fact he escalated quite quickly, from "let me just have one plant on the shelf and watch her grow by sunlight" to a 1 x 1 x 2 m tent with double the lighting I got in about 2 weeks, and for my support he is pre-growing a Mimosa Cookies for me, so I guess the title lies. Thanks a lot in any case!
Looks amazing.
Happy growing growmie!
I love what I’m seeing, keep on doing your thing!
