Opium is the queen of the Paradise plants. This sativa/indica mix combines majestic growth with a royally delicious smoky flavour.
As you would expect from a queen, a lot of time and energy has been put into her creation. By the time she stepped into the limelight, she had been bred over several generations using genetics from original classic lines. Upon her arrival, it was to prove true that "She" did not disappoint expectations. She was also honoured at the High Times Cannabis Cup and was an instant success in the grower community.
The characteristics that went into Opium make it a Variety with outstanding qualities. The plants grow vigorously, with a powerful stem and bushy side branches. This gives Opium the right tools for the production of large and heavy buds, which are also richly covered with trichomes.
The unique nature of Opium was established through an extensive breeding process. The best indica and sativa qualities are engraved in its genetic code, thanks to the use of Indian, African and Californian genetics. The resulting Variety has a certain exoticism and has an overwhelming effect. The fact that it smells stronger than a whole field of poppies is also reflected in its name. This plant is much admired by experienced growers looking for something special.
The growth of Opium
Indoors: For indoor growers, it means pleasantly easy work (60 days flowering time), as this plant is hardy and versatile. It can be grown as a multi-branched solitary plant or used well in a Sea of Green setup, it responds very well to training methods. Particularly impressive results have been achieved by hydro-growers, another group that enjoys its easy handling.
Outdoors: A distinction must be made when growing opium outdoors. In warm and sunny climates, it grows more like a tree than a bush, which makes it particularly efficient for growers in southern regions. One of the qualities of Opium cannabis seeds is that once they have developed into plants, they are fearless in the face of pest threats. It is a robust hardy plant that growers in northern regions will appreciate, but its large buds still require careful monitoring when it gets cold and rainy.
The vigorous bushy plants produce fat tops covered in a thick layer of glistening trichomes, worthy of a queen. The excessive resin production results in very oily, large heavy nuggets.
Opium cannabis seeds are suitable for outdoor cultivation between 50º n. B. and 50º s. B. suitable. This plant is ready outdoors (N. B.) in early to mid-October and is ready for harvest indoors within 8 - 9 weeks of flowering. The yield indoors is approx. 450 grams/m², outdoors up to 1000 grams/plant.
The effect of Opium
Pleasure-related: The effect of Opium sets in quickly, with an energy boost that affects the entire body, stimulates thought processes and causes a creative flow. The effects are described as very special - you have to experience them to appreciate them. This contributes to its reputation for being different from the norm.
Medical: Regular testimonials rate it as a very useful Variety for pain relief. While it does have some perspective-altering effects, it is not a Variety that triggers feelings of anxiety. It also has a relaxing effect, but the user retains the ability to carry out daily tasks.
The smell and flavour of Opium
In the grow room, its smell is complex, exuding a lot of sweetness and fruitiness, with earthy and woody undertones. As soon as the buds are harvested and dried, this aroma comes through even more strongly, as the sweetness and fruity creaminess intensifies even further. When consumed, the flavour lingers on the taste buds for a long time.
