You could get an excellent yield indoors, the thing is even the BEST poppy pod yield is still small compared to even modest cannabis. It depends how much you want though really. IMHO growing indoors is well worth being able to control exactly how your plants grow. YMMV.

The seeds are totally fine, its anything beyond that.The pods being a big one. Obviously no one seems to believe me since its openly done on the internet. Thats fine, but its akin to speeding 26 in a 25 zone. You CAN get pulled over, and you CAN get a ticket, but it is unlikely. I can assure you...

I can assure you it is not legal. Title 21 of the USC states: Where: From: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/21/802.html So it is entirely illegal, just not enforced much. Doesnt mean they couldnt, in theory, bust you for it (and them). And just a side note for growing them: As far as sites...

Just a little FYI, if one was to buy pods online in the US (cant speak for other countries) it is illegal. Everything but the seeds are illegal, this includes roots, dried pods, fresh pods, etc etc etc... I know this probably doesnt apply to your country, just letting others know..

That would work if one already have cooked (refined) opium. But since your starting with poppy straw, it wont dissolve. Your trying to extract the alkaloids from the plant material, hence the excess of water. If you use too little, dont extract it all. Too much... well... nothing bad happens...

You though that was long? You should see the WHOLE process with detail haha Paraffin wax is candle wax. Look for candle making supplies. I think it goes without saying to avoid scented or colored ones. And to be totally honest, i dont know how needed it is (SWIM will do it, but still...). As...

Just to throw this out there, while that is an absolutely correct way to refine opium, there are more complex methods that yield a better product. With opium, you want to filter out as much STUFF as possible. A quick run down would be as follows: Dissolve opium latex in water at a ratio of 1g...

Over a year later? Really? Impressive. Haha Regardless, since it is brought up.... Tropical might be kinda hard, poppies like a change at night, that is... Warm-ish during the day and cooler at night. Also, they dont like having their roots soggy the whole time, but they do like being watered...

A friend of a friend just did vicodin the other day, it was his roommates from a prescription a while ago. Said friend was chilling and smoking hookah (just tobacco shisha) indoors. As always when smoking indoors for too long, he got a headache. They come on soft but quickly build into a full...

... I did a grow, recently at that. Yes, if they are McCormic (I dont think naming the name is a huge deal here, its been said before) they will grow. I cannot attest to other ones though. Im sure they will be fine. Yield sucked. Period. However, thats not the plants fault. I grew them...

Alright guys, so this about wraps up my grow. I still have several pods coming in and what not, but the proof is in the pudding as they say, and this is proof enough for me. I hope you feel the same. Next grow: Wally-World supplies, and some minor stuff from a hydroponics store. Im thinking...

Two years? Pardon me, but where the hell did that come from? I know someone earlier in the thread mentioned something about that, but that was quickly disproved. Look at my thread, I started back in December and I am harvesting now! Opium poppys are perennials. If you grow them outdoors you can...

I'll post pictures later. Im too lazy right now, but I have good news, I lanced my poppies a couple days ago (one I know was premature, and so is one other) and they do indeed produce latex. Not a lot, but enough to provide me with enough proof that indoor poppies is indeed possible. After a...

Thats exactly what got me started. I have -no- outdoor land. I mean zilch. Unfortunately at this point, I wouldnt really suggest this as a means to get opium for someone who seriously wants to use it. However I do think that a cheap hydro setup would work for production. Obviously I am still in...

That would be pretty freaking sweet actually. Sure would be a lot quicker than me doing everyone on my own haha Good deal though. i still have a couple weeks before I start (gotta wait for the last of my plants to bloom and then harvest), but as soon as their done, Im pulling 'em out adding...

I really appreciate all the input I have gotten from everyone here. I know my grow was a bit disappointing as far as yield grows, but I really think poppies can be grown indoors, under CFL lighting, and if proper planting conditions (better than what I provided) a person can get decent (though...

Indeed, but this was just to see if the plants would even survive. My next grow will be more for yield, this was just to see if CFLs could even sustain them. Mark my words, I have plenty of soil, plenty of water, and plenty of seeds, my next crop WILL be even better!! haha.

Well, again, sorry for the long delay. Hope no one minds me brining up this old thread again and again, but here is the latest set of pics: Now, as you can see, they did bloom, well one so far (the rest have buds coming in, and another has a flower coming out as well). So far I count...

No pics this time, just too lazy to take them, but I went about 2 or 3 days with the lights on the whole time, and let me tell you, what a fucking growth spurt! At least a 50% increase in size and number of leafs. Easily. Just make sure you keep the soil moist in all this. I have noticed however...

Gah. SOrry for the highly belated reply to everything. I dont have the time to make a long detailed post about whats going on, so I'll just let the pictures do the talking.
