Paradise Seeds – Opium Paradise Seeds

Lineage

The unique nature of Opium is derived from the extensive breeding process that contributed to this plant. The genetic code is imprinted with the best qualities of indica and sativa plants with Indian, African and Californian genetic influences. The resulting strain is something exotic and overpowering and resulted in the name (more perfume than poppy field). The result is a plant much admired by experienced cannabis growers looking for something a little different.

Aromas and Flavours

In the grow room, the odor is complex, carrying the fragrance of sweetness and fruits, with undertones that are earthy and woody. Once the buds are cut and dried, this distinctive perfume soaks through as the fragrance of the sweetness and fruity creaminess intensifies and lingers on the taste buds once sampled.

Cultivation

Difficulty Level: Medium

Indoors: A pleasure to work with for the indoor gardener (60 days flower time), this sturdy plant is versatile. It can be grown as a multi branch, stand alone, or in a set up that employs a Sea Of Green as it responds very well to training. Particularly impressive results have been achieved by those who use hydroponic systems, and hydro growers are big fans of its easy management too.

Outdoors: Outside, the Opium is a different story. In a warm and sunny climate it will grow more tree than bush, which makes it particularly effective for growers in southern regions. One of the qualities recognized in Opium cannabis seeds once they develop into plants is their fearless reputation when faced by threats from pests. It is a robust and resilient plant that cannabis growers in northern regions will appreciate, but those big buds need careful monitoring in the cold and rain.

Yield and Presentation

The strong bushy growth produces fat tops covered with corpulent buds, with a coat of thick shiny trichomes fit for a queen. The overactive resin production produces very oily big, fat heavy nuggets.

Indoor Yield: 450 g per m²
Outdoor Yield: 1000 g per plant
