Mine sprouted, but that's as far as I went, because they start out really tiny and have to be thinned out,. But I was contemplating buying a ton of spice seeds and just pouring them up and down some of the gravel roads around here, lol.

I am a bit confused with this statement. Collection of the latex should take place when the pod turns a blueish gray color, it is almost like there is a coating on the pod.

Another way to tell if you are at peak alkaloid is where the pod meets the stem, you will see a brown to black ring form.

Some varieties do not form this ring quite as noticable though.

One thing to keep in mind is that watering at this time should be restricted, or the alkaloids will be watered down.

Malignant, I do respect your thoughts though, but they run contrary to everything that I have read or done.

Stoney is right. Mine had a black ring right where the flower petals would have attached to the stem beneath the pod and had a dusty-waxy coating that I could see my finger prints in covered every single pod grey-bluish with the tint of green from the pod.

Stress from limited waterings can increase alkaloid content, whether by weight or through defenses; I don't know.

Don't wait, get everything and put it in your Jack LaLane juicer and then swill down the liquid.

I read on some other site that if you cut the pods off at a certain level and let the plant continue to grow it will produce more pods. I don't know this for a fact. I have my own batch growing and I figure I'll give it a try. I lanced the outside of the flower sheath and got a surprising amount of latex. Licked it off of half a dozen of them or so and got a nice surprise.. it doesn't seem to hurt the flowers.

my poppy plant did not make and dried out, I think it got too hot where im from.. is there still any extractable opium from the plant or is it not worth trying to get anything out of it?
