Harvesting Opium

  1. I think I'm going to start growing the poppy plant and harvest the opium from it. Anyone got any tips? How many of those tiny ass seeds am I supposed to use if I'm only going to grow one poppy? Thanks.
     
  2. You need to ensure you are indeed growing Papaver somniferum

    Found that in 30 seconds.
     
  3. I didn't ask how to convert it to heroin, but thanks for the effort. I already know the steps, I'm just not too sure on the seeds. Is just one of those microscopic seeds going to give me a poppy?
     

  4. well,theres no such thing as a plant that requires more than one seed to grow.
    that doesnt mean that any random seed will germinate successfully, but yes, one seed=one plant.
     
  5. If you grow one plant, youll get next to no opium.

    It takes about 50 plants to get about 2 grams of refined opium.
     

  6. Are you sure? I've never seen a single pod give out too little opium.

    You may not want only one plant, but I'm pretty sure you don't need 50 if you're growing for yourself. Maybe 5 or so?
     
  7. Haha, for some reason that made me laugh. "I didn't ask how to convert it to heroin, but thanks....."
     
  8. Thanks guys. Sorry I sounded like a smartass in that post, rasta. I really was not trying to.
     
  9. Thanks man, i appreciate the apology :)

    Good luck with the opium, let us know how it goes if you DO persue it.
     

  10. Thanks. I'll definitely let you guys know how it goes.
