lmao, so true.. but for real, unless you're just after the novelty of growing poppies, it's not worth it. An enterprising junkie might save themselves $60 or so at the end of 4 months of careful growing.

Search poppies on this forum and you will find pretty recent posts regarding this, rowlman. Good luck.

Saddam! Give us an update bro. How was SWIY's arrangement? Brandon, in case ur still interested, you should expect a min pod height of 2' but some strains get up to 6' like giganteums. In most CFL grows I've seen, the plants are dwarfed and usually won't go above 3'. Obviously, the smaller...

Hey saddam, was that SWIY's first time lancing? What did he use? I've heard of newbs using serrated plastic butter knives satisfactorily. In zones above 7, from what I've read on the Porg, overwintering a majority of ones crop is the way to go because June gets too hot for any spring-starts...

Haven't checked in here in a while. I'm glad to hear SWIY's florals are doin the trick, sadaam.. just makes me feel bad for poor ol' SWIM; oh, what could've been. Looks like SWIY's got plenty of flowers/pods, what's the count up to? Kether, SWIM's got some whites he's gonna be sowing pretty...

Absolutely... SWIM's having some bulk soil brought in early next week for his 2'x13' plot and should have all of his direct-sown overwinters in the ground by mid-october... He will be using a variety of techniques like starting some in peat pellets indoors and out (in 2 liter bottles)...

Goddamnit, saddam... homeboy's grow's lookin' sweeter all the time... congrats to SWIY! Sad news on SWIM's front... While at Walmart with his wife (hereafter to be referred to as mom #2), he found a 100w 2700k (HUGE) for 12 bones. His mom #2 didn't see SWIM's reasoning as to why this silly...

I would be curious to know, specifically, how much the pod grows in those two weeks. I've seen pics of ripe pods next to ones with the stamens still hanging below (like SWIY's) and the difference was tremendous... SMIM will be picking up some 2700ks today on his outing with the mrs. to add to...

SWIY must be one proud poppy! And this is from 2 plants? Hopefully he'll c some more bolts soon... Is he using the same light setup per mentioned earlier? The mixed 2700/6500? If so, what do u think the results would be if he were to replace the 2700s with 6500s? I hear the latter is...

SWIM put some up today... he hopes it doesn't turn the rig into an oven. He doesn't have a fan to spare, no wall AC units to direct cool air from, nor a polar bear's sphincter to stick the pot in. He'll work with what he has... Have the petals fallen off of SWIY's flower yet? Any more bolts?

yeah, that's the kind of piece neither my friend nor I could manage to get a decent hit from.. the lack of a steady flame could've been an issue; u could mitigate that in the future with a butane torch. Allow me to once more sing the praises of a bong for this, esp a gravity bong.. 2 of them...

Hey upthearsenal, how did u smoke it? if it was just from a bowl, then too much air was getting into ur lungs and not enough god-smoke... i could never get the hang of the little glass tubes with a chamber or light bulbs so used a bong and it worked perfectly.. also, as important as set and...

SWIM is using recycled potting soil from purposefully neglected waverider petunias w/ time-release fert pellets (a lot of those were removed, tho). You can't really tell from the pics but the seedlings are actually toppled over right now; puny little stems with full veg on top. They do seem to...

K, Saddam and neone interested... I added pics to an album in my profile. Please let me know what you think.

Yeah, SWIM's thinking mid-late Oct for over-wintering... crazy bastard's gonna free farm some of the more remote areas of his locale. This is only to augment his harvest without having to turn his backyard into Afghanistan, which would be more beautiful than even the most tasteful English...
