That is so true, and the fact is that very few people can, but unfortunately don't know until it's too late.Don't do it if you can't handle it...

Yes, I had a hunch you were coming from an anecdotal personal experience which is quite natural. Opium is addictive, but it takes an addictive personality to become exploited by ANY drug, not just Opium. Certainly I am not advocating the use of Opium for everybody. My own sister was hooked on heavy drugs in her 20's. So I know where you are coming from. I once had to help her (she begged me) tie her arm. As I look back, she was trying to get me to join her in that particular insanity, but instead i was like NEVER EVER ASK ME TO DO THAT AGAIN. I found it stupid and not necessary since weed was more than enough to feel good. But some people for many different reasons go for the self destruct button.

How long do these things take to grow much bigger than this? Mine are a few weeks old and are just about this high, little shorter. These things are slow growing or i'm doing something wrong.
ok, got those poppies going...looks good, right? about 8-10 days old...since I sowed them.
I think there are about 2 dozen there. should be enough to get at least one of each strain...I want at least one of all ten strains. that would be kool.
they're in with my current grow of 24 plants, 6 strains, in flowering since March 1. I sowed these poppies just after changing the photocycle to 12/12.
6 strains, 24 plants grow
How long will it be until I can transplant them?

haha, yeah, mine(pictured in your post) haven't gotten much bigger, some...and they're almost 30 days old. I'm gonna transplant them soon. although, no one ever answered or even replied to my post about when they could be transplanted.
now, mine are getting the ragged edged leaves, so it seems they are maturing.
also, since I'm flowering 24 MJ plants now, with two 400w HPS bulbs...I think the poppies would do much better with MH bulbs, blue light, but I'm certainly not gonna switch bulbs just for a few poppies.

You can transplant whenever. Id say earlier the better though. I dont do anything with my peat pellets till the roots start coming out the bottom. Once that happens I get them really wet and then spray some dilluted root stimulator in the pellet then transplant. I drank some tea about 2 hours ago with 8 pods in it and I literally have to keep one eye closed right now or else I go cross eyed. They were tas's and I gotta tell ya that I am as high as a friggin kite. Last night I drank some with the same strong affects. my mother inlaw who is visiting right now has been taking pain pills for many many years due to a car wreck and lastnight she wanted to try some tea thinking it wouldnt really help with her pain. Now she wants to take home seeds and start her a garden cause lastnight was the first night in a long time for her that she didnt have to take any pills. The best pain reliever ever. And I think these are the most potent pods Ive ever had.

From what I've been reading Poppies HATE being transplanted or having their roots disturbed.
It's better to plant them in the pots they will stay in and thin them out when necessary, removing the weaker ones.
April is apparently the best time to plant in the southern hemisphere so I'll be planting in a few weeks.
Sub Tropical here and still a bit warm.

Yah, This is my first attempt with poppies and I have read the same thing about not liking to be moved. I now have 2 very large pops in 3 G's plus I sowed 25 directly into my garden about a month and a half later. they are doing well. We'll see after the big thunderstorms which are almost upon me.

Hay 2cimdma ,
Excellent thread and information - do you have any updates?
I've just planted some poppy seeds about 9 days ago, and I've overcrowded the pot so badly it kinda looks like watercress
But now I've got a propagator and 6 different types of poppy to experiment with. Just wondering how soon (after sprouting) you need to give them artificial light?
The veg cycle is 12/12 and the flowering cycle is 16/8, right?
Looking forward to more progress pics...
Cheers,
CP

2cimbma, I found this thread to be the most intersting read so far on RIU. Thank you for the information and sharing your poppy experiences with us.
My condolences on the shut-down of the indoor operation. Keep the will there will be a way.
Being able to make some China Opium War grade "O" has been on my want to do list for some time now.
What have you found to be the optimal conditions for growing poppies in terms if yield and potentcy?
Also how many plants would it take in a single grow to be able to harvest and process say about 1Oz of O?
I did and online search about different extraction methods to isolate the pure opium and I found this: http://www.drugsandbooze.com/showthread.php/lets-make-opium-pics-20845.html?p=181055

What else? Make your own cocaine!
I wonder how many plants it would take to produce a partyable amount?
Maybe there is a SOG method for coca plants. I dont find it hard to believe one could sustain several mother plants while cultivating a crop for fast growth and developement.
On the plus side it would be a cool tree to have in the garden, who would know its a coca tree unless they've seen one before? Which I highly doubt.
Is anyone else interested in trying this out?
Weed is love... Cocaine is lust
