It's ok to water them while flowering if they really need it, just don't over-do it.

well, theres flower buds that are drying out one of the plants, but theres already a large main pod thats ready to harvest on that main plant. (sorry, im not sure if the post-pod swelling stage would be considered flowering) should i harvest or water? and is it better to let them die, then harvest, or harvest before the upper leaves dry out aswell?

Two weeks after the crowns have flipped would be an ideal time to harvest.

Five inches below the pod are said to be good. Everything else contains small amounts of actives - generally thought to be an insignificant amount and possibly contains undesirable alkaloids. I've got a few grocery bags of leaves and stems that I've been meaning to try with an alcohol extract.

2. why are the seeds different colors, but still the same strain?
3. has anyone had a problem with housebugs eating dried pods?

1. No
2. Possibly due to cross-pollination, recessive traits or immature seeds
3. No, but you should grind them up and get them in the freezer for long-term storage

Can you make poppy tea with dried empty pods?
I've collected the seeds of all my pods for future grows and don't know if I can do anything with the leftovers.

just for that guy that just asked what to do with his pods and found out about tea.
I in no way endorse the use of the pod but it you really really have to try it. No more then three med. to start and not more then once a week or at least wait three days so it don't build up in your system and have to tapper off the shit. Its a hard drug to kick and it will make you fall into its spell fast just cuz its pods does not make it any less addictive. BTW if ya get caught with them ground up thats a whole new legal ball game.

Ho ho ho, oh dear, I'mnot planning to use them. Sorry for that. After reading your post I immediately thought about the post about dobie(the guy that's missing). I'm proud to say that I don't use any drugs and have no desire to use them.

Just wanted to share this experience with you all:
Mr. X made a cold extraction last night using ground pods and grapefruit soda (plus a little drizzle of lime juice for acidity). He put the ground material into a 1 liter soda bottle, then added the very cold soda till the bottle was a little less than half-full, then added the lime, then shook the hell out of it for a few minutes. Then, Mr. X put the mixture in the coldest part of the fridge and went to bed. 8 hours later the next morning he shook it again, then poured the sludge into a cup through a screen. Then he took all the non-liquid sludge from the screen, wrapped it in a piece of t-shirt and squeezed all the remaining liquid into the cup. Then he held his nose and chugged it. Then he chewed some gum and got on the subway. About an hour later it started to hit him, just like Percocet, but lasting longer. Most of you all probably know this method already, but feel free to email me if you have any questions.

can someone help me out this strain issue i have? i can't tell the difference between gigs and tazzies. i was sure i had gigs, but now i dont know. they're pumpkin shaped pods, if thats any indicator. also, can we get a general guide to strains or just a list of photos so they are more identifiable? and, when we see dried pods online, is there a certain strain that takes prevelence in popularity with most of the growers?

Not to derail Shane's question but I have one myself...
If a person wanted to go geurilla with a little poppy patch, should they be worried about deer or rabbits? I've heard of both being ravenous on unpenned MJ plots but poppy lettuce/pods are bitter as hell and don't seem like they'd be good eating.

This is all hypothetical, of course . My experience is that tazzies are weaker. The gigs that I've gotten are both bigger and more potent, so the additional cost is worth it to me. I really had to work to get a buzz with the tas, whereas I have to be careful not to overdo it with the gigs.
