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

So this is a diary I initially did away with because I didn't think she was going to make it.. I had tried black opium by a different breeder in the same medium and she died at a very young age so I thought the same was going to happen with this plant because he had a slow start to no fault of her own.. I say all that to say this Weedseedsexpress has some strong genetics because she has pulled through and I have given her a beaten ever since and she is taking it well... She's starting to get her groove and once the kabul is done and she has the tent to herself she'll be about ready for flower... This is a testament to Weedseedsexpress because I really didn't think it was possible to grow anything in this medium because this is the same medium that I use for my gummy bear grow and I poured ina whole bunch of salt based nutrients through that with minimal flush at the end of its run.. so huge shout out too Weedseedsexpress.. so far so good I highly recommend! .. also the damage on the leaves are from me topping it too early and thus damaging them when they were super small... No biggie they will grow out of it and this is going to be an awesome plant.. much love and happy growing everyone ✌️😎 day 39.. 3 days ago when I started this diary I did another round of topping as you could see in one of the pictures the shoots are starting already today I did some more training and she is taking it well.. I'm definitely pushing her to her limits and she's taking it which is crazy because like I said she should have died long ago to no fault of her own... In a week or so I'm going to transplant into 4 gallon pot and flip the flower around a week later.. happy growing everyone https://weedseedsexpress.com/us

Nice strain to grow overall especially for the terps it produced, yield was more on the low side as expected from one for these "hype" strains or whatever you want to call them.

They are growing in my balcony. I have not a grow light so Im supporting them with a 85 watt Cfl at nights and put the ladies in a box to keep level of humudity high Medya : 40 litre torf, 20 litre perlit, 10 litre solucan kompostu, 10 litre vermikulit, 10 litre yanmış koyun gübresi karışımı ile büyüyecekler. Eksik kalan için daha sonra cocopeat, perlit, vermuculite karışımı hazırlayacağım şimdilik 2.5 litre de kâklenmesi yeterli. Büyük saksıda birden fazla bitki ekilecek olan medya ise toprak, supersoil

Week 3 of flower Things are humming along nicely. The Red Hot Cookies (back left), Lemon Orange (back right) have really stretched out and are really throwing out bud sites. The Mimosa X Orange Punch (front right) is really starting to get into flower now. Although I flipped to 12/12 3 weeks ago she seems like she is really only in week two of flower now. She seemed to take a while to transition. But all in all I am happy. See my other diary for the small plant (Black Apple Hitchcock front left) 5.9 pH 500 ppm 65 water temp 71 tent temp 39% RH

Hi guys, I just let them go, free growing taking care and adapting temperature the best I can. Nutrients I had a bit more and just the minimum dosage of Cal-Mag. I AM happy and they look too.

Things still chugging along nicely. Noticed a little leaf tip burn on one but its not bad at all. Gave one feeding of only water. Plants need to be defoliated a little. I have not been taking leaves off every day so I am in need of some clean up. Will tackle that this week. If at any point you guys wanna check out my grow live please visit my Youtube page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7345iXI2LnTIG1mmONKtPQ Thanks for visiting my Grow!

5/22 - fed and watered, some of the lower leaves are yellowing again and she's quite lightweight. She dries out quick, maybe from being in small 1 gallon container. Gave her about a quart of pH adjusted water with nutes. Also raised the light about 5 inches. 5/25 - looking a bit droopy, fed and watered, gave about a quart of pH adjusted water with nutes, and trimmed off the yellowing leaves

Black Opium has continued flower development and is looking very promising. The buds are fattening up very nicely. Good things to come for this one! 😁 I'm trying to add in some PK boosters at this stage, she's looking beautiful. I'm adding Bud explosion, Seaweed extract, Ecothrive Flourish, and Sea K. To increase the Phosphorus and Potassium, to aid in flower development. Let's see how fat these buds can get! Here is what I did this week. 4.9.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with; πŸ’œ 2ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 361 9.9.25: I watered with 3.25L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with; πŸ’œ 6ml Flourish πŸ’œ 1 TSP Sea K(elp) πŸ’œ .5 TSP Bud Explosion PH: 6.3 PPM: 970 Thanks for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments, Best of luck to everyone in the contest, Happy Growing πŸ˜ŠπŸ’šβœŒοΈπŸƒπŸ™

Starting week 4 and everything is looking good, buds are forming now time for them to fatten up. There is trichrome coverage starting around the budsites and on some fan leaves. The plants are starting to put off that pungent gg4 smell with earthy undertones. I did a pretty aggressive defoliation on day 21 (11/9/18) and cleaned up the lowers with a light lollipopping. The plants stretched more than I wanted so I may have to add 1 more layer of trellis it just depends if they can hold themselves up once they start putting on the weight going to have to wait and see. The plants seem to look happy and are moving right along. Thanks for looking and happy growing!

#BIGGER:STRONGER:FASTER #NITROHAZE #OUTDOORGANG D70 16Junio. Crecimiento lento aun bajas temperaturas en mi region (5Β°C nocturnos y 18Β°C dia) realice un riego foliar y algunas gotas por las bajas temperaturas nocturnas me quemo ciertas hojas.Espero no influya mucho en el crecimiento aun dudo en hacer corte apical en ramas bajas para no ver afectado su crecimiento. Mismas horas de luz diaria pero cambian las de horas directas de sol. Hay dias en las que ah estado nublado y ah sido cero horas. Pero es un cultivo de Invierno y una guerrera en el camino. Temperatura nocturna : 6Β°C-90%Humedad-2%precipitaciones. D72 Comienzo con realizar LST para dar posicion a las ramas bajas y comiencen a estirar, recibir mas luz para su crecimiento. Aun dudo en cortar apical ramas bajas.Comence a entrar la planta al lavadero porque siento que las noches estan siendo demaciado frias y ya sufrio quemaduras de agua y frio. D74 El LST ah funcionado de maravilla ya se estiraron las ramas y creo que hoy les realizare otro amarre a unas ramas que ya comenzaron a levantar. La idea es que estiren hacia los lados un poco antes de que levanten.
