The buds on Black Opium are looking so fat, and they're so heavy I've had to stake the plant with my new stronger stakes. I have tied the stakes to the stems with soft fabric ties.
I couldn't be happier with the results that we have so far, and I think we are still a few weeks away from harvest. Quite a lot of the pistils are still white.
I like to leave my plants a little bit longer. Just to make sure that they're ready. I always check the trichomes.
Maybe she'll even stack on some more weight who knows, fingers crossed, and we'll see what happens!
I'm just trying to keep the buds and the stems intact.
The plant has definitely increased the need for water and feedings.
I have added an additional 100Watt UVA/UVB lamp, as the uppermost canopy of Acapulco Gold is blocking pretty much everything in the tent.
Hopefully, this will aid the shorter plants in surviving until I can harvest it. There will be so much more space and lighting. Can't wait! 😅
Here is what I did this week.
25.9.25:
I watered with 3.25L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with;
💜 Sea K 2.5TSP
💜 Cal-Mag 1.5TSP
💜 Biosys 2TSP
PH: 6.5
PPM: 1020
The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent.
I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days.
Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm.
Thanks for checking in this week and see you in the comments 👌💚🙌🧡😁
