Divine Seeds Contest: Auto Opium (and probably my last grow)

It was quite dry, so it wasn’t exactly a week after drying start that I trimmed and collected what is left of lady 1: About exactly 60g. Don’t worry about the 66% on the picture. Just had opened the jar to enjoy their scent. Talking about compact buds: We all prefer them, right? So do I. Sadly, the humidity raise during the first drying days wasn’t a good thing for #2’s buds. I found some more mold in 2 colas, and so the current total harvest is about 95 g – I think I had to dispose about 8 g. Meanwhile, second harvest is getting close. Lady #1 looks pretty done already. Her sister produces amazing colors but does not want to die yet. She even produces a tiny new leaf, see week 13. (See above: Lady 1 has been harvested on day 92.) Which in the end produced another 18 g of fluffy, but even better looking stuff: The stress lighting period they were spending their last days has shown its rewards. Much darker colors and way more resin. It wasn’t so easy to trim ;) Meanwhile, I waited one day too long (day 99, I guess) and lady #2’s remaining buds starting to get fluffy too when they died too long under the stress lights. But it looks and smells amazing and will be definitely top tier for my humble demands. The total dried results will be around 130 g, I guess. Not too impressive, but really ok considering my lights are rather on the lower edge. Checking the roots after harvest revealed some problems with water drainage for lady #1. The lower soil was still very moist, although the bottom of the pots were filled with stones providing good drainage. Which is why her roots did only occupy about 1/4 of the pot and most of the soil looks very untouched and clean. That was probably causing her fox tailing more than the proximity of the light. Lady #2’s roots are amazing. I had to work for a long time to remove the soil which came out as one block initially. The color difference in their stems is probably because she was under contimous light for several days in the end. Both ladies’ main roots, anyway, were only a few cm long until they branched. Guess I should give them more wind with the oscillating blower in their early stages in the future (yes, the headline lied: As you might have read in the comments a neighbour who got reinfected with growing urge raised another lady for me. And, admittedly, I still have some seeds that would be sad to lose.) I’ll update lady #2’s dried result from 2nd harvest next week. But so far: Case closed. Really a recommended strain for beginners, but keep an eye on (soil and air) humidity. Last addition: 23 more and really sticky and aromatic grams from lady #2. So a total of 136 g dried. Not bad, not overwhelming, but with mostly just 100 W really quite ok.
