Opium (Paradise Seeds)

Opium (Paradise Seeds)

Queen of plants… We call it Opium. Yes, the Queen of the Plants of Paradise is a bold claim, but we are confident we can make it. This 50/50 sativa/indica hybrid blend combines a majestic growth with a delightfully royal aroma and effect.

As you would expect with our Queen, we invested a lot of time and energy in her preparation. By the time it came to the fore, it had been bred for many generations, using the genetics of the original classical lines; and it did not disappoint when it arrived. Paradise Seeds’ Opium, which won the High Times Cannabis Cup award, immediately became popular in the growing community.

The characteristics we channeled into Opium created a variety with qualities that stand out. The plant grows vigorously, with a thick stem and bushy lateral branches. This gives it the tools to produce LARGE and heavy buds that are rich in fur.

Cannabis Lineage: Opium’s unique character stems from the extensive breeding process that went into creating this plant. Its genetic code incorporates the best traits of indica and sativa plants, with Indian, African, and Californian genetic influences. The resulting strain is something exotic and extravagant, which inspired its name (more “aroma” than “poppy field”). The result is a plant that is highly admired by experienced cannabis growers looking for something a little different.

Scents and Flavors In the grow room, the aroma is complex, conveying notes of sweetness and fruit, with earthy and woody undertones. Once the buds are cut and dried, this distinctive aroma dissipates as the sweet, fruity, creamy flavor intensifies and lingers on the palate the moment you taste it.

Yield: Its vigorous, bushy growth produces thick buds covered with viscous resin, with a thick layer of glossy trichomes befitting a queen. Its hyperactive resin production yields very oily, large, thick, and heavy buds.

Indoor yield: 450 g per m²
Outdoor yield: 1,000 g per plant

‘s Recreational Effects: The effects of opium set in quickly, with a surge of energy throughout the body that stimulates the thought process and triggers a creative flow. The effect is described as very unique—an experience you have to try to appreciate, further cementing the Opium cannabis strain’s reputation as something a little different.

Medical: It is consistently rated as a very useful variety for pain relief. Despite the element of a change in perspective in the effect, this is not a stress-inducing variety. The relaxation qualities are also accompanied by the ability to carry on with one’s daily chores without a problem.
