Well, again, sorry for the long delay. Hope no one minds me brining up this old thread again and again, but here is the latest set of pics:
Now, as you can see, they did bloom, well one so far (the rest have buds coming in, and another has a flower coming out as well). So far I count around a dozen flowers that are coming in, plus a few more plants that have some growing to do. First off I want to say these are TINY poppies. I think I can say that is because a number of reasons, from an inital poor lighting cycle, to being transplants no less than two or three times. I wont go into details here, but I think overall, so far, this has been an overwhelming success considering what I had to work with here. I needed more soil, more lighting, less transplants, a timer, so on and so fourth and even still they managed to bloom.
,
Opium yield is still unknown obviously, the last of the pedals fell off the first plant today, so I wont be harvesting that for a little while. Plus, they only seem to be about half an inch in diameter, hopefully they will swell a bit though. Im crossing my fingers for 3/4".
As soon as these die off (read: when I pull them), I want to start a second crop, but now that I have a better paying job, I can afford a better setup, so hopefully I will get bigger plants. I am also going to buy a faster flowering version from a vendor on ebay to try them out. I also plan on starting my first cannabis grow in the coming month as well. I will, of course, keep you all up to date on that as well.
