Black Opium
Also known as: Auto Black Opium, Black Opium Fast
Overview
Black Opium is an exquisite indica-dominant hybrid strain (85% indica, 15% sativa) developed by Divine Seeds as a sophisticated modification of their original Opium strain. Created by crossing Opium with a psychedelic Colombian Sativa featuring dark violet coloring and sweet grape scent, Black Opium fully preserves the potency and vitality of its Brazilian-Afghani parent genetics while adding distinctive purple-to-black coloration and enhanced berry flavors. Through repeated back-crossings, breeders accentuated the desirable qualities of both parent varieties, resulting in a medical-class strain with exceptional analgesic and sedative properties. The strain originated from Afghanistan, Brazil, and Colombia genetics, with the Colombian landrace specifically contributing to its unique dark purple coloring that becomes so pronounced during the final weeks of flowering that dried buds appear nearly black in color. The complex terpene combination of the original Opium strain, responsible for its rich juniper odor, is now complemented with distinct berry and grape hints from its Colombian heritage. Black Opium has gained recognition as a diamond-edition strain for cannabis connoisseurs, veteran users, and those seeking deep meditative experiences.

Growing Information
Growing Black Opium is considered moderately easy due to its robust Opium heritage. The strain requires sufficient light energy, nutrients, space, and water for optimal yields. These vigorous plants stretch 20-30% during early flowering and can easily outgrow grow spaces if not properly trained. ScroG (Screen of Green) is the most recommended training method to maximize productivity and space utilization. Beginners can use LST (Low Stress Training), topping, or FIM techniques. The strain is excellent for cloning and responds well to SoG (Sea of Green) techniques. Flowering time is 60-70 days indoors with expected yields of 675-1000g/m². Plants reach 155-195cm in height. During the final 1-2 weeks of flowering, plants develop stunning violet, bluish, and purple coloration when exposed to lower temperatures. The strain is suitable for indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation.
