would it do any good to sprinkle seeds in the middle of winter since I wasn't able to spread them in the fall like most growers say is best? I figure no matter what time you spread them before or in the middle of winter it shouldn't make to much of a difference. Is this correct?

This depends on how cold your winter is, do you get frost? It might be best to plant in spring and harvest in summer!

Well I'm in hardiness zone 7 at 10 to 0 Degrees F in winter and I guess we get a bit of frost but not much or often, Mostly the weather hovers around 30 to 45 degrees throughout most of the winter. So if the winter is like this in my area it wouldn't be a good idea to sow seeds in fall like I read would allow for 2 different harvests for summer?

Im harvesting in Spring, planted in November, but may have been able to plant a little earlier. The weather here (SOCal) is very mild and is perfect for poppies year round. Poppies are very hardy and will winter-over if there is frost, but if it is too cold they wont grow again until spring or whenever it warms up.

They like some chilly nights for germination, but even more so do the poppies love soaking up sun during the day, getting the growth they need to flower in spring.

You can get two crops even if you plant in spring, then plant again a few weeks later.
Also if you "dead head" them after you lance the pods you can get at least two lots of pods from each bush.
I gave up growing my own as the govt grows hectares of them each year for pharmaceutical use, they are all over the UK.

I am living back in that area again now so it's about 20mins on my bike to a variety of locations.

There are certain Tasmanian strains that are bred to lack in morphine, but are heavy in thebaine for pharmaceutical purposes. I wish those fields were by my house though!

It's good you posted that Errolscool since it reminded me to ask about the different Tasmanian poppy flower colors that I believe to be white, dark red, light red or purple and something that keeps coming up as the strongest but I've only seen a pic once I believe but it's called the Tasmanian purple. What I was wandering is if these all have about the same concentration of alkaloids or does each type of flower dictate a different active concentration?
Also what exactly is thebiane and is it a sought after compound?

Im not sure about concentrations and thebaine is only sought after by the pharmaceutical companies that use it to make orally active opiates like codeine, hydrocodeine, and oxycodeine.

Pink ? You might want to check with someone before ingesting any pink O . People have been saying it is Thebain.

Yeah I was worried for a minute and then did some research on certain Afghani strains. All thebaine seed crop is destroyed and usually turned into biofuel, very protected.

In commercial poppy production like this I wonder what they do with the pods once they've laced them? Some sort of crude opium extraction I would imagine but I wonder what method they use.

It seems once one flowers they all do. There is a total of like 6 pre-flowers on each plant! I also have some babies ready for later in the summer!

My babies--

This poppy I actually didnt plant in the pot with the San Pedro, it seems the seeds must have spread from last season! What an amazing plant haha.

In commercial poppy production they take the whole plant as "poppy straw" and extract thebaine.
