2024-07-23 A few months ago, I germinated three opium poppy seeds. Each seedling was given a different setup: 1. Outdorgrow in a 30L container 2. Outdoorgrow in a 75L container 3. Indoorgrow in a 30L Airpot This post focuses on the indoor plant, which was trained using various techniques such as mainlining, topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and some supercropping. The indoor plant thrived from the beginning, showing vigorous and healthy growth. It responded well to training, consistently displaying a robust appearance. Its growth seemed effortless, requiring only adequate water and minimal nutrients. Training began with topping and continued for 9 weeks during the vegetation phase. The main technique used was mainlining, shaping the plant into a circle using pipe cleaners. The plant's soft stems and branches made it easy to train without causing stress. After 9 weeks of vegetative growth and training, I was satisfied with the result and initiated the flowering phase. The plant continued to flourish, primarily needing water and care. Only a few NPK feedings were necessary, but it received many beneficial supplements with watering. The growing medium used was Terra Preta MJ-Mix, and I applied a mycorrhizal inoculant called DYNOMYCO. This significantly enhanced root development and nutrient breakdown. Essentially, And i applied aTodpressing with Insectfrass, so they stayed lovely green. I was feeding the microorganisms in the Terra Preta mix, which in turn kept the plant healthy. The plant developed beautiful colas while maintaining its circular shape. Harvesting was straightforward. The aroma was fruity (reminiscent of apricot) with a strong, gassy undertone. The buds are currently curing. I've taken photographs of the plant's "skeleton" and some pre-cured buds, showcasing the impressive trichome development. The OutdoorPlants are still growing, and the Diary will continue

Day 19-26 (May 10th - May 17th) (Day 21) Stretch is almost over and the plants still look like they’re in veg. I’m seeing almost zero trichomes and when compared to my other room it’s laughable. At least the sites are starting to fill in a little. One plant is super leggy and stretchy. I’m guessing it’s Jack Herer but won’t know until late flower or harvest. The plant in the far left corner has great structure and thick pistil clumps. I’m guessing it’s either blueberry or the white og. Blueberry has a pretty distinct smell so differentiating all the strains won’t be that hard actually. (Day 24) I’ve been rearranging the plants once in a while just to get all sides exposed to some decent light. I never realized how much I value my LED until this run. The only way I would ever use another hps for flower is if it was one of those 1000w DE lights that all the commercial grows use. Sites are starting to fill in quite a bit now. Trichomes are still non existent though. Even on the archive genetics which is really surprising. (Day 25) Pots somewhat dried out finally. Tomorrow I’m going to leach everything with another 2 liters each and top dress with 15ml of nature’s pride bloom, 10ml of Destiny launch and 5ml of kelp meal. I’m starting to see minor N tox on some of the plants so I will probably give them a full gallon. This tent is largely experimental so I’m going to fuck with these plants pretty heavy to iron out some theories and try some new techniques. (Day 26) When I was watering today I noticed that slurricane, Puro loco and guava cake all hermed. The archives just got too stressed out in early veg I think. When I dug up both plants they were still being choked out by the sponge aerogarden plugs. Puro Loco was leading by far in the trichome department too. The guava cake was from a hermed bagseed so it’s not surprising at all but that kind of pisses me off about the “elite” Archive genetics, especially if you paid 200$ for a 10 pack. Then again, it was still my error and not their genetics. Luckily I didn’t pay a dime for them. Running those was a complete waste of time and space. With proper environment and no seedling stress I’m sure I could have grown some amazing looking stuff. All the European and Canadian genes look fine though. I’m sure they would have filled out a lot more if they weren’t being choked out by hermies. No signs of bananas anywhere else. Hopefully the 4 slurricanes I have outdoor this year will pull through without herming.

After week 2 the two Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barabara Bud) plants were transplanted into their final container, a plastic pot with 11 liter of soil (light-mix) in it. Now the roots can continue to develop rapidly and the plant growth is amazingly fast. At day 18 the plants are almost 20 cm tall already and look VERY healthy as you can see in the videos.

Intense tropical rain all week so no chance of watering any feed in. Instead I used granular 15-15-15 and she perked right up 😊.. Seen predatory mites (black round bugs) on the plant now and it also appears I have less spidermites which is awesome. I have been brushing them off every morning/evening for months now so nice to finally get some help!

It is a day one of the 6th week. I watered the plants and started adding B’cuzz Silic Boost. Also made some beautiful photos under a white light and I am really happy with the plats progress. 👍 Two days after watering and spraying with the fresh water added with vita race the plants are super gorgeous and they are growing in size acchieving 60 cm in height. Buda are getting bushier as well. 😻 I am a little worried by the fact that some of the plants tend to curl their leaves down just before the light turns off. After six hours of night plants look healthy again. Could that be connected to the distance between te lamp and the plant which is diminishing as the plants grow? Thanks for suggestions😊

Muy buenas amigoooos!! Aquí dejo una nueva publicación de otro par de las matas de mi amigo que como podéis ver para colmo después de todos los problemas que an pasado.. Para colmo cogieron araña algunas de ellas, como podéis ver la Royal Domina a sido la más afectada pero hemos podido sobrellevar el cultivo y finalizarlo a pesar de esta plaga tan temida, la hemos combatido con aplicaciones foliar es de agua muy fría y mucho aire para que no se reproducieran más y las que estuvieran se fuesen y la verdad que a resultado bueno a podido cosechar algunas ya. Solo le quedan tres ejemplares en vida que lo iremos viendo estos días, lo dicho.. Espero que os guste!! Buen día y buena semana!

I've overwatered my plants the past 2 times, so I let them go through the whole drying cycle which took all week. I'm feeding them tomorrow morning. I put up my trellis and trained a couple branches and tops are already evening out. I also battled some fungus gnats this week.

🌿 Grow Diary Update: Week 5 Check-In 🌿 Hey growers, Can you believe it's Week 5 already? Time's flying, and so is our girl – she's a beast now! I've been itching to defoliate more, but I've maxed out the amount of defol i can do and i have now stopped completely to avoid stressing her out too much :/ Overall, she's looking happy, but I noticed some leaves getting darker than I'd like, so I dialed down the nitrogen a bit... Remember my PPMS struggle? Well, good news – got them down to 1200ppm but could not get it any lower.. i could lower the ppm/ec of intake even more to hopefully drop it but in this stage of flower feeding lower than 800ppms is too low unless you need to flush to reset the medium so i am just gonna keep sticking to the 800ppm feed for now and measure run off each time hopefully i can get it around 900-1000, yes these high ppm/ec levels are fine for cannabis but mostly when your using co2 thats like 700ppm+ but at the end of the day SHE LOOKS GREAT! Here's to another week of growth and learning! Happy growing, TheGreenGroomer🌱 ps - sorry for over exposed/out of focus images i will get better images for next update, also smells allot stronger when humidity is on the higher end, she smells so good!

-29.08.2024 New week begins, in total it is the 11th week if you count the germination week. I think it will also be the last week, depending on how they continue to develop. most of the flower stalks are turning amber. the small trichomes do not yet look milky to me under a jeweler's loupe. the soil was dry, both plants were watered with 1L of water (without fertilizer) per plant -01.09.2024 Everything looks good. A few of the trichomes are slowly starting to turn amber, but most are still transparent to slightly milky. The plants are now watered every 2-3 days as soon as the soil is dry.

she has a 10% amber has a pine smell. earth ... a nice smell .... with many milky trichomes most of them ... so I'll give you both 1 or 2 weeks for your process ... just wait... pak 2 apparently the other one was hermaphrodite .. only 3 branches were.seeded and they gave me seeds ...
