Hey thanks for the compliments. Yes they can be grown DWC. I use 600 watt MH's for veg and then move to 600 watt HPS for flower, but like I said the cycle is oppisite of weed. As far a germination goes this is what I do. I take a pea pot like in the pick in my post and add potting soil and then completly soak it. I then put those pots in a tray and I put about 3-5 seeds in each by just sprinkling them on the top. Then I take my finger and lightly tap them. You dont have to bury them and actualkly I never have had good luck barying them. At most I SPRINKLE a TINY amount of soil on top of the seeds. You want to see the seeds. Then I put a dome on top of the tray to keep it humid and keep it in a dark place. Doesnt have to be cold room temp is fine. I tried the whole put them in the fridge for a week routine and I never had great results. You will see germination in 3-5 days. You may see the roots sticking out but that is fine they will go down into soil in 1-2 days. It may even look like a very fine spiderweb ontop the soil dont worry it will form. They wont need to be watered for awhile so dont even try. Since the poppies are barely in the soil if you water them you seriously risk washing them away, dont even try to mist cause believe me it dont take much. After about a week they will be and inch or so tall and thats when you can introduce them to light. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask cause with weed Im here to learn but with poppies hopefully I can help.

Purpdaddy. I give them full strength ProGrow, Earth Juice, and Super Thrive. They dont burn as easily as weed. Also keep the PH around 7.5.

USERNAME. Not all poppies will get you high. Im not sure what breed those are in the pic u have a link to. But you can always try and score some and see. Just wait till they're ready though or else you wont get much if anything and also you want to barely slice. If you go to deep it will drain into the pod. When I say dont cut deep Im saying only go about 1-2mm. Take a brand new razor blade and with no pressure bring it across the pod. The sap will instantly seep out if you went deep enough. Dont expect gobs of it to be pouring out or anything but you will see it coming out within a second. Or if you have pataince take the razors point and push it into the pod until the sap comes out and then stay at that depth and make a cut going up or across. I go up and down cause I find it easier to scrap the opium off the pod. Cut on 2-3 sides of the pod and let sit overnight and it will turn from a runny white liquid to a reddish brown tar like substance. Then scrap that off and you have raw opium. you can repeat the cutting every 2 days or so any sooner and you will get opium but it will be of low morphine content so thats why you wait and let it build up..You can smoke it like that if you like or once you get enough you can purify it to a cleaner opium. And you can then do some other chemistry if you have the no how and make some pretty good stuff. Dry the pods and keep the seeds for the next batch and then use the now empty pod and make some opium tea.

Yes the picture of my avatar are of Persian Whites. I am currently growing some Tazmanians as well cause they are known for potency. I also have some hungarian blues, hens and chicks, and uh....I cant remember I have another strain cant think of it right now though. The first order of seeds I every made was off of ebay. I bought 100k seeds(so they say but like Im really gonna count, but it looked like it could contain that much) of Persian Whites for I wanna say 10-20 dollars. I planted ALOT of them with no results before I finally learned how to grow good. I always have Persian seeds now though cause one pod will produce hundreds of seeds if not thousands. You can buy the seeds just as seeds or you can buy dried pods and get the seeds out of them. The dried pods are a more expensive though but the benefit is that you get the seeds and then you can make some poppy tea out of the left over,emptry pods. I just sore seeds in a ziplock bag in my refrigerator and they last pretty long some in there are easily over a year old. There are a bunch of websites to order off though cause they are legal to buy so its not like weed. The first pic is of some seeds but I realized it doesnt really show how small they are the second pic is of 5 seeds(persian whites) by a quarter. The ziplock by it is persian's too. Oh yea the other strain Im growing is called gigantiums(the name says it all, they get big pods).

Alright so a few days ago I think it was 5 days but I didnt write it in my grow log so I dont remember for sure but anyways I planted these Persian white seeds so I could show you how they look after germination. Sorry the pics dont come in great butmy wife has digital camera and shes back visiting relatives in Ill. and these were taken with my iphone. These were planted in Ferry Morse "Quick 'n Easy" peat pellets. You can use these and they are very easy to germinate in. It comes with the tray and dome to cover it. A tray of 36 are only a few bucks I think I got mine at Lowes last fall, I just found them all in the garage last week so I figured Id put them to use. The seeds like I said are Persian Whites and came directly out of a pod after it was harvested. I didnt let the seeds dry. This is the first time I did this normally I let them dry. I wanted to see the results. I would say it took a day or so longer for germination than dry. I thought it would be quicker considering the seed is already wet and soft/ easily breakable by the plant. But I was wrong this time, I'll be trying again and see the results to be sure. Anyways. As you can(or possibly cant) the plants are small. They are only 3/4 of an inch right now. I'm still leaving them in a dark spot for right now cause they just seem to delicate to put into the light. I will move them in about 2 days to the outer edge of my grow room so they get a taste of light and every day I will move them in a little closer. They will be put on a 12/12 schedule for veg. Soil it will take about 75-90 days for pods to start appearing at which time I will move them to HPS and to a 18/6 schedule and then sometimes bump it up slowly to 20/4. The pod will grow up at a hook position pointing down. After it has grown to maturity the hook will stand up and the pedals will open to flower. Once the pedal fall off wait till the crown on top is standing straight out or pointing up and then you can make you first cuts. Sometimes it takes a couple days for the crown to get to this position or in some cases it takes 2 weeks. At this point you will start to see other pods forming lower down on the plant where the leaves meet the stem. I didnt know this when I first started growing these so I was pretty damn happy to see that the poppy produces more than one pod. I have read that some people get up to 30 pods off a plant. I havent had that great of luck if its true but I have gotten quite a few. The second picture is of raw opium I scraped lastnight.
