Thank you Divine Seeds! I’m very excited to be a sponsored participant and given the opportunity to cultivate during this years 2025 Global Autoflowering Competition vol.2!
The strain I received was Auto Black Opium. A tremendously potent Indica with shocking resin production rate and delicious berry aroma. Flowering time: 60-63 days, THC: 25%, Harvest: 800-1000 g/m2, Height: 130-165 cm.
The Plan - use a Deep Water Culture, 3 gal system, as a permanent home. Apply a weekly feeding schedule using time tested blends of Terra Aquatica (formerly General Hydroponics), Botanicare, and Europonics nutrients throughout the cycle. My forecast is this grow should be finished around the end of October 2025.
- Using RootRiot starter cubes
- Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0
- Light power at 25%, DLI 10 at 24hrs
That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.
