Rare Papaver somniferum Strain x247
    #21645395 - 05/06/15 06:41 PM (9 years, 14 days ago)

Hey guys,

So I'm trying to figure out if I just got hustled or not. I was browsing the web looking for some Papaver somniferum seeds, and came across this website: http://strain-x247.com/. I thought I stumbled upon this great strain that can potentially produce opium with 37% morphine, but after searching around I'm starting to think I wasted money buying them.

I'm really hoping they're real, but I compared them to a bottle of Mccormick's and they look pretty similar. I mean, I guess poppies are poppies, but it seems like it could also be a good hustle buying a bottle of Mccormicks and selling small gram lots at high prices claiming they're something special.

Anyways, what do you guys think? Do you think they're legitimate in their claims? Or did I just buy high priced Mccormicks? Oh, and are Mccormick's worth growing nowadays? Thanks in advance!

:strokebeard:

Only one way to find out.

And when you harvest your pods and don't yield almost 40% morphine you can always sue for false advertising

:goat:

In all seriousness though that looks like a potential scam for sure, I would recommend buying some known varieties from a sponsor or finding deals on ebay etc.

Tasmanians, Gigs, Persian white, afghan. Those are what you are looking for I would say.

Though hybrid poppy seeds do sounds pretty interesting honestly... If you are growing for opiates :shrug: even than the natural balance could still be best.

Haha, yeah false advertising for sure.

I actually bought them off of ebay because there was a guy selling them on there saying he bought a bunch. It just pisses me off I could have bought a few pounds for what I paid, but we will see. I will definitely try another vendor on ebay though.

I was just looking into this exact strain. On their site they claim they only have 300 grams left for sale, etc etc.. Idk, certainly selective breeding and even genetic manipulation IS possible, but if this is SOO RARE, why are they advertising them everywhere from google to amazon, etc.
I used to be an Internet marketer, and frankly the whole website REAKS of scam to me. The pressure to BUY NOW OR LOSE OUT, the "countdown clock", of how little stock is left, and just the whole doomsday prepped thing doesn't sit wel with me. And the "countdown clock" has shown the same amount of seeds left for over a week... I can't say it's a scam for sure, but I can say these are all classic marketing gimmicks, geared to force an impulse buy.
JMHO of course.
That said, even if they've got a high morphine strain, similar to Tazzies,etc it not such a bad thing. I mean if u grow them out right, you'll still have some good O then.
As for 37% morphine content, I guess it's possible with genetics and / or serious selective breeding, but I would think it says "UP TO 37%" for a reason... I'm sure some of the higher level strain that exist now have hit that high purely randomly in nature, just as some may be weak as hell.

I HOPE they're real, lol, I've honestly been considering them myself... But the high pressure sales tactics have turns me off enough to wait and see..

Grow then out, and do it right. Then, CAREFULLY try em and be sure to report back! :wink:

As for the McCormicks, idk, I've never bothered trying. Best of luck either way.

What about refunds?

If for any reason you change your mind and want a refund within the first 7 days of receipt, simply contact us and provide your Paypal transaction ID. We will then issue you a RMA. Then, simply return the unopened seeds with the enclosed RMA to us and we will gladly refund your purchase price minus shipping and handling within 24 hours.

EBAY???!! Wow, damn ok something stinks for sure... When I found their website I thought I "stumbled onto it", then I saw an ad of google and said no thanks... If their "rare and almost gone" with only a few thousand grams available in total, they couldn't be on ebay. Well, unless someone was reselling the ones they bought, probably trying to get their cash back... :frown:

Good luck, I do hope they're at least decent plants. Hate to see people get ripped...

Yeah, the guy said he bought a bunch and was reselling them, but they look very light colored, like they have been washed, just like the Mccormick's. I grew some Tasmanian's last year and when they are unwashed they're dark in color. I don't know why these people would wash them before selling them. That's what makes me think they're scammers. I will be growing them and will keep you guys updated.

I thought about the whole refund thing, but they have to be unopened, and of course I opened them up to get a closer look as soon as I got them haha. :facepalm: so that's out of the question.

5 huh??? Hmm um yeah. oh yeah it's definitely from that magazine... The one about the metal, yeah that's it! I mean the comic about heavy metal... YUP u got me.. lol nah it's an old nickname from a days past lol. I'm no stranger for metal tho, if that matters. Once has Tom Araya pull me onstage while crowd surfing, that was pretty cool :stoned:
Such a shame about Hennaman... :sad:

Sorry OT, I know .... To the OP, put some work in the grow and see what happens. Hoping for the best for ya. :thumbup:  Or the refund thing is an option... Up to u I suppose. If u can afford to "lose" the money they cost, then grow em for shits n giggles. Who knows, maybe they're still a good strain...

My bad u opened em already, didn't see that. Good luck anyway, I'll send some good vibes anyway :smile:
