I never could get any yields from it. Try asking Mitchnast, I think he either invented it or perfected it. He also had a boatload of the stuff to work with too.

I'm wondering if indoor growing would be worth the trouble. from what I've read people seem to think its not. what are the main problems with it? and how short of a period can you get a harvest with decent alkaloid yeilds? could one just take the plants outside once they've grown too big to keep in the growing space?

I don't think any frequent members of this forum have those answers, best to read up over at poppies.org I'd say the main problems are that we can't match the sunlight or the amount of space indoors; they generally take three months from germination to harvest. If you (are able to) start them indoors, then taking them outside should be fine, but a plant that starts outdoors and in the ground will grow much larger.

well a friend of mine was already threw his seeds all over the place outside, but his damn house is blocking the sun, so no location gets more than around 6 hours of light. thats why hes interested in indoor growing.

I've grown healthy poppies with less than 6 hours of direct sunlight. They didn't grow to be huge, but they were reasonably big and healthy.
The lack of sun does make them grow slowly when young, though. They tend to reach a little too hard for the sun and flop over.

How much longer do you think it will be before people start planting them in there yards for aesthetics?
ITs been freakishly cold lately.

Its an excellent strain of poppies with white flowers. Small in stature, but often quite rich in alkaloids, especially if you give them lots of love.
Treat them well and when you score the pods the fresh opium will be pink! 
Always a good sign.
HAVE FUN!!!

Hey guys I'm just curious, I've recently started growing poppies for the first time from some seeds i bought in the grocery store (seems as its impossible to get good seeds in my country) and i was wondering when is the best time to harvest pods for tea, should they be cut off the plant when they reach maturity (crowns up) and dried separate or should they be left on the plant to dry? This maybe a stupid question but I've read through the entire thread and am yet to find an answer. Thanks for any help.

About two weeks after the crowns flip and they're getting the dusty blue look is said to be the most potent. You'll want to cut them off the stem, otherwise the goodies get washed away when it rains. Use a food dehydrator to avoid mold while drying.

Thanks man, really appreciate it, i've been reading up on everything about poppies for about a month now, and nothing's been more valuable than this thread, my house mate thinks i'm insane, but i'm sure he'll change his mind when harvest time comes... Cheers.

No problem, you can experiment with letting a few go longer as they will double, even triple in size.

Another thing, have any of you guys attempted growing indoors before? And if so how did it go? I live in an apartment and have no backyard, even if i did the plants are highly illegal here, you can't even buy p.somniferum seeds in this country, apart from the bread seed variety. My seedlings get about 7 hrs sunlight a day, do you think that's adequate?

Bread seed variety is good, but they're going to need more light. Here's a recent thread on indoor growing from another member, scroll down to the bottom:
