Are you talking to me? If you are I'm aware of the risk, ive grown them for years but not to collect smokable opium, just for tea. This indoor grow was out of bordumb and to see if these three and ahalf year old seeds were still viable..I didnt have any intent to do anything with these other then growing them
Sorry miss under stood you- and yes the Poppy is a beautiful plant, If I had My way my yaard would be full of them and glad you found the way to take "poppies" It' all right to grow them but the minute you "lance" them - that's when the legal problems can happen. Pleas take no offense; meant no harm
No offense takin man, it all good.
Most states allow them to be grown for ornamental perposes but Federal law states that any part of the plant is illegal,, poppy straw and pods but for some reason the seeds are exempt from this retarded law
If you really want some O to smoke 'you'll need atleast
15 to 20 mature plants. The peddels fall off after a day. At this point you wait two weeks to allow the pod to mature. Once it has apurpleish blue color and with afoggy ty'pe substance on them,, they are ready to be lanced. Dont go any deeper then a millimeter. If you cut through the pod the opium will bleed into the pod and its wasted oh and by the way this is purely for educational purposes and no one should try this at home
I googled Papaver somniferum seeds and found a good read if you have some time.
Plant directly in soil - but planting only one will not produce any worth while "product" need many, many flowers
be lucky to get 1/2 gram (if that)(also have to process it) - Remember the law will give you NO breaks when it comes to poppy cultivation/harvest. Stay safe my friend !!!!
Collecting opium off the pods is time consuming and risk' yea its about 20 pods to get a pea size amount.. I just make tea, you can collect the sap off the cut ends of the pods and wipe it on a rolling paper and smoke that..
What's what strain, ones a china white and the other is a pink peony poppy
