Opium

Opium is doing wonderful, she seems to have set herself up nicely and she doesn’t seem to mind anything. Even after her last pruning she responded well and grew up another two inches, her growth is quite tight and she is a leafy girl that will need to have a good upkeep over the next six weeks. As august passes us by we expect to see many changes and this is when things get exciting. We have cleaned up branching that would only become little bits and act as a distraction to the main tops of the plants where we want the most focus, it has been a very wet season and we anticipate the dreaded bud rot so we thought the airflow would benefit them, they seemed quite thankful to have the extra energy. They have done well with the wind and we do hope they continue to strengthen themselves so that they can hold their blossoms once the weight of them sets in. We have continued on with the same care although we did add Epsom salts to the diet last weekend which we will continue to do every couple of weeks. The weather has been somewhat strange with cooler temperatures at night and reaching a high heat in the afternoon, it has helped us with water consumption as there haven’t been many days that they showed a thirst but they really don’t appreciate the cool nights. Hopefully we get some balanced weather over the next few weeks with a little less rain. As for now, we enjoy and appreciate the beauty that unfolds before us.
