Been away for the holidays. Thanks for the replies.

Hello all you Cannabis Cooks, What quantities of butter and water should one use to make cannabutter with an eighth of good weed? How long and on what heat should this concoction be prepared? I have searched this subject on rollitup and google. Most people are talking about using large...

Dobey, good to hear from you! SWIM ended up getting about 30 small/medium pods from the three plants. Then disaster struck! lol SWIM dried the pods and ground them into powder. Then used a pyrex cookware pitcher to boil his water in preparation for the pod powder. After reducing from a boil...

not exactly sure how far along they are. 5 weeks perhaps.

CFL Powah!!! First grow. That is all. :clap:

You won't trip. It will just make you feel laid back and all warm and cozy. Opium is what morphine, oxycontin, hydrocodone, percocets, and lortabs come from. So if you've tried those you'll have some idea of what opium is like. Here's a picture SWIM took of some opium latex:

You can make small incisions on the ripe pods and the opium latex (aka the goodies) will ooze out and dry up. You can scrape it off and eat it or smoke it. You could also just eat the pods. Some people dry the pods, grind them into powder and make a tea with it. I guess it's your choice...

Dobey, good to see you around! Yeah, SWIM keeps plucking them before they're good and ready...... However, they do the deed. SWIM has vowed not to touch them again till they're ripe. SWIM will be growing in zone 7 or 8. Will be sowing VERY soon. I hope SWIY's overwintering goes well. I'm...

OK, so SWIM ate one very small unripe pod and another almost ripe pod. He said he felt REALLY good and was surprised at how potent they were. He took a 500 mg acetaminophen to go along with it.

Good Stuff. Can you tell me more about SWIY's outdoor garden? SWIM could use some tips.

:lol: First pod is about halfway there!

RIP to SWIY's babies. :cry: Can you make a journal of SWIY's outdoor grow? I'd love to read up on a real poppy grow journal. SWIM is going to have an outdoor grow as well, and will try to keep a journal. Perhaps we can share the journals with TPTAU (the people that aren't us ;-) ).

Papaver Somniferum work. California Poppies and Oriental Poppies look nice, but that's about it. So if you are looking for some look at the scientific name of the poppies. If they aren't papaver somniferum you are out of luck.

Couple pictures of the beautiful Hungarian Blue flower. Also a couple pictures of the first pod. It's continuing to grow. It's almost doubled in size since the petals dropped off. :clap:

Here's your babes of the day! :hump:

Where da pics at brah?

I'll try to keep you posted on SWIM's pod growth.

Home despot has 68 watt 2700k 4200 lumen CFLs for about $15. They're gigantic but SWIM says they made all the difference.

Not very big. It started off about the size of a jumbo sized grape at flowering. It's only the second day since petals dropped and it's grown about 60% bigger. However, it's SWIM's understanding they continue to grow for about two weeks after petals drop off. There are three plants. Looks...
