Oh my, by all means try it. Go real light, how big were your poppies, what kind, when they were harvested and how much hooch? Oh, and topical won't work at all, morphine contends with the brain not the nerves themselves. It changes how you perceive pain and is not an anesthetic. Wait, I...

I have seen many people turn to tincture. I've always wanted to try it but have yet to get what I think is a sufficient amount. Smoking is the very beat but it is wasteful and you can only smoke the real latex, not putty or any sort of extraction. I think smoking burns off some of the lesser...

I'm in warm weather and let them winter over so... seems kind of short. You "harvest" when the crown turns up. Grinding and extracting has never worked for me. I will milk twice a few days apart then cut the capsules off and hang them till dry. That is for tea.

I have been growing them for decades. If you are at all careful (don't fucking plant row upon row of them) then you can get half a dozen nice doses of real opium and another half a dozen cups of great tea. The scary thing is when you plant the giganthum type, they look like great martian...

Frankly, given that the Dea doesn't seem to actually enforce this 2019 rule, I doubt all poppy seeds are certified as "washed". Chances are that depending on the origin, the seeds are not washed at all. But that doesn't change the danger. When you are consuming the results of one to two...

The processing entails boiling (lightly) in water and drawing the latex from the now dirty liquid. Simple.

Not in the u.s.

Poppy seeds tea is dangerous. Best to go a different route. The variability of potency from the leakage deposited on the seeds and the amount needed makes this method unsatisfactory. Poppy straw tea is much less variable.

I've never had to make anything more acidic save when I overdid lime. Then I used peat moss.

Several more things, gypsum only slightly changes ph. You want pickling lime. And many coir companies innoculate their product with trich. Unless you are sterilizing it, actually sterilizing it you may be adding to your problem. Try changing your coir.

Trich likes acid. Mycelium grows on far more basic conditions. If I have problems I bring my substrate up to 8.1 or even a bit higher. Your mycelium won't love it but they like competition less. See, mycelium consumes the substrate and exudes acidic metabolites gradually making its...

Initial ph dude, initial ph.

Sencience is a failure of genetics. A Clone of a Clone of a Clone of a clone.... finally exhausts the robustness of the pheno. The mycelium grows weak, loses its ability to produce good fruit and finally fails all together. While it might take longer with a multispore lc it will still...

Well now wait, I use red vaccutainers, each vaccitainer yields enough to start as many as 10 lc starts of one cc each. They seem to last at least two years in the fridge. If you start an lc then take some of thar to start another then use that for another and so on you will suffer sentience...

Yeah, I don't know about going back to old lc. I make only enough for one run. I keep "masters" of each type and draw from one of them to make more. That let's me keep the exact same pheno without senciencing for long periods of time. Cutting out the green? You use a strong base to treat...

So you go months with no trich. Then you get a little, the moment that happens you have altered your growing environment and trich spores become predominant. Your personal biome is also affected (I test that as well). So now you will forever have to deal with this new, dominant mold...

One more important thing. Once every few months you should place open dishes around your work, grow AND living area. Make a map of the placement. Leave the dishes for a set amount of time. I go fifteen minutes unless I am trying to isolate an issue. Then close them up and incubate. This...

I don't like bird seed. The size is nice but it is a true pain. Why not food grade millet? I used to use commercial grass seed, great stuff, very versatile and tiny, but the prices now are astronomical save for the coated stuff (go figure) Rye, as I've posted is great but very very...

No. You will regret getting one that is too small. Bite the bullet and spend more, ONCE rather than finding you need a bigger one. If you start depending on a hood then you will use it for g2g, bag prep, jar inoculations, all things that need more than a foot. In my opinion (I'm a purist)...
