I was teasing you bro. I understand what your saying. But for future reference, unless you enjoy being called a cop don't go saying things such as you previously stated earlier.. I didn't take any offence in the earlier post I'm just saying people may get the wrong impression .. That's all..
If you are interested in growing these I'll help as much as I can.

I just researched the legality of it only one type of poppy is illegal to grow. But all in all mostly legal and people grow them all over. Many contain opium but one is the highest concentration and that one is the only illegal one. Thanks on the plants just my little hobby to supply myself and my wife.

Correct.!! The somniferum.. The hybrids and subs are exempt from the laws.

So far they are pepper box blooming or I labeled the pink tazzies wrong.lol

Pretty!!

After looking through my seeds last night. I'm believing I labeled last years Izmir Bush poppy seed as pink tazzies and the tazzies are labeled Bush poppy.. Won't know for certain until I grow them out later this year.. Or they are in fact pepperbox

The way you check and watch for readiness on the seed pods.
There are two way to see when they're ripe..
1: Crown. The thing on the top. Notice how they point down. This Will straighten, then turn pointing up like a crown.In this pic. Vvvv the crown is straight. This pod is two days older then the first pic.. In a few days I'll show y'all the crown..

2: the second way is to look at the base of the pod were it connects to the node.( the knuckle looking thing under the pod) the pod side of the node will make a light brown grayish ring..
Even pod color can be an indicator of readiness..

The first pic the pod dropped it's pedals this morning. The second pic the pod is almost four days old since it dropped it's pedals..

I'm drinking right now so I hope that makes sense. (Previous post)

Most pods are ready between ten and fourteen days after they lose their pedals.
If you want seeds you need to let them die standing..meaning let them keep doing they're thing until they turn yellow (pods & stem) don't water or feed them through this time. The pods will sound like baby rattles when you shake'm when they are ready.

Sorry about that.lol. it depends on breed. Usually around eight weeks from seed to bloom.. And from bloom to ripe pod is ten to fourteen more days.. That's the normal time anyway. I think these bloom abit sooner then eight weeks though..

I started them from 12/12 and increased the time 15 minutes every day till I hit 16/8 at which point I let them do their thing

Nice I am going to be a poppy expert before I plant a seed. Taking notes for sure. They look so cool to

The reason for the increment increase is to prevent stress.
From what I've read they don't respond well to sudden light changes. I suppose you could do a sudden light flip without problems. I just wanted them to grow as comfortable as I could. Lol
