Auto Black Opium 🏆 2025 🏆

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest Auto Black Opium W1V1 June 8-14 Both Black Opium seeds germinated. #1 has the long first leaves and #2 has 2 sets of true leaves. This one was the one that had cotyledon leaves when the seed shell opened in the glass of water. I think either the super soil is too hot for the seedlings and I need a buffer between the seed and the soil for the first few weeks or my PH meter is off and need to calibrate it again. I started 2 Auto Black Opium and 2 Auto Big Demons seeds and of the four seedlings 3 are struggling.

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest Auto Black Opium W2V2June 15-21 Both Auto Black Opium #1 & #2 germinated but they look weird. #1 is on the 2nd node and is stacked on top of the first with no space in between. #2 is still on the first leaves. The leaves on both are distorted This is not the normal growth pattern. I attribute this to the soil being to strong for the seedlings I am hesitant to try to lighten the surrounding soil by removing the plant and building a well and putting seed starter mix in it then returning the plant to the adjusted area. Autos don’t like to be transplanted. Fingers crossed they learn to like their environment. As aways, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support.

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest Auto Black Opium W3V3 6/22-28 Black Opium auto #2 remains a mutant. I removed her from the tent, put her in a 4-inch pot and put her outside. If she progresses in an orderly fashion, I’ll transplant to a bigger pot and see how she develops and show pictures of her periodically but will not include her in my weekly updates or include her in the contest. Also, since this eliminates the 2nd plant, I will use the Plagron boosters during flower on all plants. Auto Black Opium #1 is growing slowly now 2.5”. 6/22 150ml water ph 6.44, ppm 222 68.5F. 6/24 150ml water ph 6.44, ppm 222 68.5F.

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest Auto Black Opium W4V4 6/29-7/5 6/29 2 liters water ph 6.1, ppm 242, 69.5F Wetting the outer rim of the pot. 7/2 2 liters ph 6.44, ppm 222 68.5F Wetting the outer rim of the pot. I’m giving ph water for this grow unless deficiencies are noted since Supersoil is in my base mix and will be adding Green Sensation during flower. She is 3.5 inches tall and very bushy. From the pics you can see she fills up the top of her 3 gal pot with her big indica leaves. As aways, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support.

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest Auto Black Opium W5V5 7/6-12 Black Opium had a spurt and grew 3 inches and now 8 inches tall. I used pins to tie down the limbs and cleaned out all the under growth. giving ph water only. 7/6 2 liters ph 6.5, ppm 238 to get the pot wet. 7/8 1 liter ph 6.6, ppm 262 pics & video I included videos of the ph meter with water, iridium glass & iridium glass and copper. When in water only, the ph meter climbs steadly, in iridium, there is slight jumping in the register. When the readings are taken with copper and iridium, the ph meter jumps up and down in wide ranges. So there is marked energy emanating from the glass and from the copper. What is it doing? I don’t know but stay tuned thru the grow to find out. As aways, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿o 💫Natrona💫

Natrona Auto Black Opium 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W6 F1 Black Opium grew 3 inches again this week and is now 11 inches tall. Because I have iridium and copper in the water, the ph meter fluctuates due to breaking bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen. The fluctuation range I see is between 6.4 and 6.9 so I’m reporting 6.6. So far, I don’t see any negative effects of the iridium & copper on the plant. The soil base is Happy Frog, Coast of Maine, Mushroom Compost and Super Soil. I’m giving only ph water to her for this grow. I defoliated 8 large fan leaves to open up the center. I gave 2 liters of ph 6.6 PPM 376 at 66.7f twice this week As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest 👉Sponsored Grow👈 Auto Black Opium W7 F2 This week presented with a turn of events. I’ve been using Super soil and ph 6.6 watering only. Pics taken on 7/16 Black Opium I saw a few small brown spots on the leaves on both Black Opium and Big Demon. I had just watered yesterday so I had to wait util the 18th to give nutrients. By the 18th spotted leaves were burnt and crispy. Hopefully, nutrients will resolve the deficiencies. Black Opium stretched and is now 14 inches. Added a few pins. Tent family photos show the nutrient progression with both Black Opium and Big Demon getting lighter compared to the other tent gals. ½ tsp/gal recharge 3ml/g TPS Cal Mag 2 TBSP ELM Bloom Juice Ph 6.84 PPM 407 Temp 69.4 7/13 1 liter of ph 6.6 PPM 376 at 66.7f 7/18 2 liters ph 6.84 PPM 407 at 69.4f As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support.

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest 👉Sponsored Grow👈 Auto Black Opium W8F3 7/20-26 My Black Opium shows signs of distress with pale green/yellow leaves and spots. The damage, while less severe than Big Demon’s nutrient issues, continues to spread. Last week I asked a question to what was happening to my Divine Girls. Many indicated the soil was now depleted as it is now in flower with higher PK (phosphorus and potassium) demands. I immediately sprayed with banana juice 2x per day for 3 days while continuing to dry the soil with a fan. Leaves continue to show more spots in the leaves. Another responder indicated I overwatered creating a lock out. How could this happen? I followed the same watering schedule every 2 or 3 days. The only change in this grow is adding the super soil to the base. Further research on living soils indicates that living soils like super soil, ancient soil and other nutrient dense mediums need less frequent waterings as the organic matter holds moisture while still allowing proper drainage. Lesson learned With living soils water once per week and monitor for additional water needs. She will not produce as well as one would expect due to my negligence. I discovered that super soil naturally balances PH of water, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. This simplifies the growing process and ensures healthier plants. Yes, I like the water only with super soil. As I learn more about organic growing hopefully, I will learn to identify what problems are before they get unmanageable. Autos have a shorter lifecycle and are less forgiving of mistakes. In the future, I might try a photo run where I can train High-stress-Training (HST) techniques and have more flexibility to correct errors. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement.

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest 👉Sponsored Grow👈 Auto Black Opium W9F4 7/27-8/2 This week I’m still trying to resolve lockout issues by lowering the feed solution ph. I usually ph down the water to 6.6-6.8 and discovered the soil ph rose to +9. After taking measurements, I asked if the ph could also be contributing to the problems Black Opium and Big Demon exhibit. This high alkaline status contributed, if not caused the nutrient lockout. This week, I lowered the intake ph to 6.35. This reduced the runoff ph to 7.0-7.82. Black Opium remains pale and more brown spots. I have been watering 1500 ml with 125ml run off. This is low and I will Increase water to 1750ml next time. I did not start Green Sensation as planned due to the lockout issues so maybe next week.

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest 👉Sponsored Grow👈 Auto Black Opium W10F5 8/3-9 This week I’m still trying to resolve lockout issues by lowering the feed solution ph, foliar feeding with nutrients to feed thru the leaves, increasing water, measuring the runoff volume amount and corresponding ph values. Black Opium remains pale and more brown spots but the damage done will remain. Many white pistils are puffing up despite the problems. 8/4. Water feed Calmag 15ml Plant Juice 60ml GH bloom 5ml Green Sensation 4ml Feed was ph 6.37, ppm 784 at 65f. I increased watering to 1750ml with run off was 300 ml at 6.90ph. I added Green Sensation as planned to see if it will help with the PK issues as well as boost bud development. The runoff is better but still high so I’ll lower to 6.1 or 6.2 next time. The power sprayer finally arrived so I began foliar feeding to help dry out the pot and provide supplemental nutrition to the plants. I made a blend as follows: Kelp 2 TBSP/g Calmag @ tsp/G ElmDirt /2 tsp/g PPM 915 Ph 6.45 Foliar feeding 8/6, 7 & 8 This section addresses issues encountered with Super Soil. The intention was to complete a water-only grow from seed to harvest. However, all five plants in the tent are exhibiting similar nutrient deficiencies. The plants are 2 Divine Seeds, 2 MSNL and 1 Weed Seeds Express. Since all plants from different vendors are having issues, It shows that for deficiency resulting from lockout is due to the environment they are in rather than seed genetics. The Autoflower super soil is designed to contain sufficient nutrients for the entire growth cycle. So nutrient deficiency is not the issue presented but lockout. These terms are often used interchangeably but there is a difference. Nutrient deficiency occurs when plants lack the essential nutrients in the soil, while lock out happens when nutrients are present but ae unavailable to the plant due to factors like ph imbalance or salt build up. I called the company to find out what went wrong. I spoke with him on video chat so he could see my set up and look at the plants all suffering from differing levels of distress. I told him I used a blend of Happy from, Coast of Maine, Mushroom & earthworm castings. First, he believes that the inclusion of the extra earthworm and mushroom compost additionally charged up the medium. Second, to pull my lights back some since he saw light burn. I raised my lights and lowered the intensity from 10 to 8. Third, to use one or the other of the soil bases, not both. Fourth I should have made layers in the soil. Top layer Happy Frog, middle Happy Frog + Super Soil, bottom all Super Soil. There were no instructions for that layering process on the container (see pics). My container instructions say to mix it into the soil medium throughout-which is what I did. Would you have known to layer the soil as described? I think if that was supposed to be the correct protocol, they should have put it on the freaking bag. With a month left, I am not transplanting to new soil in hopes of recovering. I’m reducing water to 1 time per week and foliar spraying nutrients daily. These are autos and do not like transplanting especially this far into the grow. I hope for the best from this point. For two of these plants, I used the rooter cubes gifted with the soil. They did well to germinate healthy seedlings. He indicated that the rooter cubes help generate multiple roots rather the one just one tap root. I found some for 50 for 20usd which is economical and takes the worry out of germination.

Natrona Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest 👉Sponsored Grow👈 Auto Black Opium W11F6 8/10-16 Watered at the end of last week and have not watered yet this week. I have been foliar feeding at least once a day with the following blend: Calmag 15ml Plant Juice 60ml GH bloom 5ml Green Sensation 4ml Feed was ph 6.37, ppm 784 at 65f. I ph’d the water down to 6.25 with brought the runoff down to a range of 6.7-7.42 on the plants in the tent. I think it should be lower, but in the meantime, I hope this helps my tent family recover from lockout. Black Opium looks like she greened up a bit but and is pushing out more hairs in the buds.
