How to harvest Latex from "Hens & Chicks" Opium
    #5808860 - 07/01/06 02:54 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Anyone know the best way to harvest the latex from the "Hens & Chicks" pods? The Chicks seem to be in the way of the Hen, and the chicks are so small, I'm not sure whether to lance the Chicks, or just tear them off and make tea from them. Anyone have experience harvesting latex from Hens & Chicks Opium? The picture below is one of my Hens & Chicks, not yet ready to harvest, but I want to be prepared.
Thanks.

good question. i was just going to use those for tea as the latex will drip all over the existing pods.

from the pic id say the latexfrom those little ones
would be a bitch to collect from those tiny thingies.

i would ripp the chicks off rght now and let the plant put its energy in the hen instead.
perhaps it will increase sise or latex production in the hen.

well im using whites from latex, and h&c for tea. actually my h&c's are finally flowering so do the little pods contain seeds as well? if so that may be a bitch to get those seeds out.

Here are some of the flowers I've been getting :




Pods like these don't seem so difficult :




But it's ones like this that I'm having a hard time with :


Anyone have any suggestions? I'd prefer to harvest the latex, and have heard that Hens and Chicks are a high yeilding variety, but I'm just wondering how exactly to get that so called "high yeild", when all the chicks are in the way of the pod!!

So should I just rip off the Chicks and use them for tea? Then lance the Hen pod??

tea or extract, the opium producing qualities are proportional to outer surface area, so all those superfluous chicks ought to prove perfect fro extraction when dried and ground up.

Hen & Chickens is a teapod. Dry, collect seeds, grind the pod and make tea thereof.
