This is pretty cool. I cant wait to see your little pods of joy. Who cares if its not enough to do anything, still its the art giving life to an otherwise dead seed. Nice grow.

Once the pods begin to show you should stop with the misting, poppies like it dry, and are very suspect to disease.

I had some once that went through a major humid spell, they get really distorted pods, partially open and shut.

It stands to reason that where they grow best is in Afghanistan mountain range, where it is cool and dry.

There are some really good books on opium poppies, "Opium for the Masses", "Opium Diaries", now I can't remember the rest.

Amazon is where I bought them, to bad my wife made me through them away.

And to everybody else, I was not trying to be rude when I said that he needs more, just was trying to help.
I agree just growing them is fun, that was the way I started.

Great Work Cannibis

My seeds arrived today, strain is "Chinese White" and it's supposed to have huge seed pods.

I plan on growing poppies to use the seeds in baking and the flower heads in dried floral arrangements because extracting the raw opium is against the law ... and I wouldn't dream of doing anything illegal.

... or would I ?
