They have a perfect germination rate,produce robust,tall,multi podded pods,and are very potent,and why wouldn't they be,they are grown in the Netherlands.

I know all about the McCormick poppies man,and don't listen to what people say about super market seeds being low morphine,it just isn't true.I grow McCormick's every year,and have no reason to lie about the potency.Grow them out man,and you'll know what I mean.I've never had bunk McCormick's ever.I'm not sure about other super market brands,but McCormick's are number one.Check out these pics,they were McCormick's I grew last winter,and they were so damn potent.Just 3 decent sized pods would get you going for hours.

yeah mccormick will sprout no advice from me on potency but ive seen them sprout like mad
one guy in the past used to make poppy seed tea by soaking them in cold water, hoping to get some morphine off the outsides of the seeds.
he threw the soaked seeds in his compost not thinking much of it, and a few days later there was a huge mass of sprouts i wish i could find the thread it was amazing...

yeah,I told ya,McCormick's have the best germination rate out of any poppy seed I've ever seen,and I've had them sprout in two days!Just think of it like this,McCormick is the number one leader in spices,so do you think the would use inferior poppies for their seed?I think not,they use only the best poppies,thus when you grow them out,you will get amazing super potent poppies.Trust me,and let us know how the grow goes.Hell,post some pics,so you can show other people.I'm going to do my McCormick grow in October,and I'll post pics of it too.Oh,and thanks dj for the compliment.

they grow them according to yield and ease of growing (pest resistance etc), not potency. they very well could be weak, thought i dont remember anything that was a somniferum being weak. i also dont remember any particular strain being more potent than another. the only difference i noticed was in species.
there IS other active papavers you know...

Most people aren't look at that hand full of pods I grew,those were McCormick's,and they are super potent,and make good arrangements too.Grow you some,and I'm positive you will be amazed with the quality!

how was the potency an yiels as compared to the spicerack tpye poppies? could it be a viable alternative for the paranoid minded person?

if you live in a state that they grow wild in, you could most definitely plant a field of them.
if you dont live where they grow naturally, whos to say otherwise? you may be arrested but if a botanist looks at it he would be able to tell the court they are indeed not somniferums and are a wild species that grows naturally in north america. just dont make them look cultivated!
as far as potency? you would not be able to harvest opium from these. they do however work as a great substitute in pod tea, ive had better experiences from setigerum tea than from any of the somniferum teas ive made.
you could easily take a handful of seed to a dry field and come back when they are dried naturally by the sun and harvest, throwing/sprinkling the seeds out as you leave.
they are supposedly a lot weaker, and contain mostly morphine and thebaine, but in all seriousness were a lot more potent in effect than the somniferum teas ive made.
give them a try if u ever get a chance to locate some.

well legally, these poppys and their pods are perfectly fine because the law defines poppy pods and straw specifically as prts of the papaver somniferum, wiccan seeker explained it better in the poppy thread
Quote:
Wiccan_Seeker said: Interesting!
Your paper identifies Morphine as being a significant component of Papaver Setigerum, which means a whole range of opium alkaloids will be present and the dried juice of P.Setigerum can be considered an "Opium" albeit likely an inferior one.
BUT: The Controlled Substances schedules identify it thus:
"Opium poppy" means the plant of the species papaver somniferum L., except the seeds thereof.
This means that if you have a field of Papaver setigerum it is *not* an Opium Poppy field as described by US law, but if you do certain things to it you end up with "a preparation containing morphine" which ofcourse *is* illegal. Since many countries define their controlled substances definitions to the American template, this means that in many countries living plants of Papaver setigerum are *not* Opium Poppies by law because Papaver setigerum is NOT a somniferum.
...strictly speaking a floral arrangement of setigerum bulbs are not "Opium poppy capsules", but setigerum-opium would be a felony:
"Poppy straw" means all parts, except the seeds of the opium poppy, after mowing.
And Opium Poppy, if you recall, is defined as Somniferum only. Looks like a loophole in the US law which is interesting, but in a real court you would ofcourse be unconstitutionally nailed and haled off to prison with a fat mandatory minimum for smartassery.
But if these are the definition of all the lawtext on the topic, then your house could be one huge floral arrangement, your garden a Setigerum field and no *FAIR* judge could condemn you for it.
which brings me to my next thing, having a poppy garden with several different species of poppies in it (maybe california poppies in the front and then mix these with several different color strains of somniferum) it would look quite a bit less suspicious than a garden of all one cultivar of opium poppies
this way, one could harvest the setigerum pods for tea, as you said it makes a much better tea, and then lance the somniferums
maybe even make a whole area and blend it in with the landscaping in the back yard with several different types of flowers

it may have been the analog act, im not sure. somewhere it states that anything containing a scheduled substance is also considered as scheduled. this same law makes san pedro, mimosa hostillis root bark, and a variety of other things illegal.
im sure if a botanist told the court it was papaver setigerum, they would know so little about it that they would drop the case regardless. its practically unheard of.
but yet, if u grew a bunch of papaver rhoeas with them you might get away with it
personally i wouldnt make them look cultivated no matter what my plan was.

store bought poppy seeds (papaver somniferum) are illegal, if you grow them, you CAN and probably will go to prison.

growing opium poppies is almost always tolerated unless there is direct evidence that they were being grown for drugs, or at least if they could prove that the person knew that they were where opium comes from
with the mixed species/strains thing, one could just say "oh? i wasnt aware of that, i just picked up a pack of mixed poppies and planted them"

Hey guys,just wanted to jump in here right quick.Planting and growing poppies CAN be illegal BUT depending on where you live LEO really isn't gona give you a hard time about it especially if you have just a few plants growing.Hell,most LEO's won't even know what they are (again depending on where you live).The problem does arise if the pods are scored for any reason and start to "bleed".As for McCormicks KBG is 100% on the money .Poppy seeds from Indian spice stores also greminate and grow well.Good luck with your grows!!!

CptnGarden, I can appreciate your interest and must say that was a nice observation that I myself would have questioned .However like KBG stated I know him from another forum where we shared a common interests in particular plants.I'm sorry if i didn't introduce myself correctly in a "Say hello" forum but I'm not sure there is one here(I'll search better).Hell I'm not even sure how to put up my avatar yet,LOL.Anyhow back to the poppies,yes McCormick's will germinate,and yes they are worth the effort.My personal favorite however is Indian white seeds grown hydro.They are never a let down.Once again,good luck with your grows!!! PS...What the heck is a "puppet" anyway,LOL???

they like it around 52F I believe to germinate and to flower they need longer days maybe they would flower after a while maybe though might be worth a shot otherwise really early spring.

Mine weren't robust or tall, but to be fair, the dirt where I planted them gets hot enough to blister my feet.
An elderly city advisory board member told me that she honestly grew them for ornamental purposes, only, although she knew how they could be used. CA police told her they prefer she pull them up, but they were not illegal unless they could determine that she had made cuts. They believed that people nearby would steal the plants and abuse them. So she pulled them up, unconditionally.
(While the grown plants do attract attention down here, in WA, I would always see big somniferums planted near storefronts and in parks.)

IMO for some reason poppies thrive more in cold climates.Not to say you can't grow them when it's hot but it is said "poppies should be sowed at the edge of melting snow".Indoor temps generally range no higher than 72 degrees with lights on and MUCH colder with lights off.Results have been good so far.If the soil where you grow gets that hot then it should be watered frequently,not so much as you'll cause root rot,just enough to try and keep it cool.What strain were you growing?How are the night temps in your neck of the woods?
PS...As for the puppet thing thats the first time I ever heard of it (no clue as to why someone would do that),no hard feelings,I've been called worse things,LOL.I feel where your coming from.

Could you imagine a poppy field the size of a corn field in washington state.Bet someone will be keeping a extra eye on there goods.ALTHOUGH,I do recall a website that sold pod for ornimental perpouses(of course) and thats all they grew were poppies.If memory serves me right you could even take a tour of their facility.

So the poppy seed tea didn't work?

thats irrelevant.
plus it wouldnt be an indication whatsoever of it not working, you dont drink the leftover seeds.

I'm just curious to know if McCormick sells the seeds 'clean' without the morphine residue that the seeds should have naturally. Meaning that McCormick somehow keeps all the good stuff for themselves...
And I would definitely try the seed tea, but McCormick is nowhere to be found in Spain.

Hey,poppy seeds are very resilient.I made a batch with some spice seeds,and I actually boiled mine,strained out all the seeds,threw leftover seeds in a flower pot,and they still germinated.It was amazing,and I can't believe they could withstand such hi temps.I made a post about it on MOD EDIT: please do not post sources!!
,oh and the seeds came from Mekone,and they make some potent tea.I have yet to actually grow out a full mature plant,but In October they will be growing right beside my McCormick's.

KGB please stop posting that web site, it is a vendor that sells items including poppy seeds and they do not pay to be a sponsor, it is stated right in the rules that vendor discussion is not allowed.
thank you

Oh,I'm sorry,I didn't know that I couldn't do that.That site doesn't sell anything,it's just a regular old site like the shroomery,that's why I didn't think it would be a problem.Ok,I'm going to read the forum rules again,so I don't keep messing up.I hope there are no worries man.

Oh shit,does it?Damn,I've been a member for a year now,and never knew that shit.Well,I guess you learn something new everyday.Anyways.here is a pic of the spice seeds Mekone sent me,I made tea from most of them,but this is what I have left to plant in October.These seeds kick ass,and you get a 7 ounces of seeds for less than a bottle of McCormick seeds.I'm telling you,grocery store seeds kick ass!

"Plant in fall in mild-winter areas, or in very early spring - as soon as the snow has melted - in colder regions."

LOL,That must have been a BUNCH of tea ya' made there bro.But,yea' those seeds let out Peshawar/Indian whites.Also,some flowers come out fringed.The avatar is a actual hydro grown pod from them.Decent sized,excellent germination rate(IMO)so they must be spread out evenly,unwashed.I was wondering if anyone grows hydroponically here?

Unfortunately, I don't think the Mccormick seeds work anymore. Out of maybe 20000 seeds planted only a few have germinated and they aren't growing at all. I planted in peat pellets and in wet paper towels. I think they may Irradiate the seeds now. Anybody else try recently? I ended up just ordering a few thousand Tasmanian seeds from amazon.

I think I'm going to start a new thread on my attempt at successfully growing a garden of Papaver Somniferum. How long does it normally take for your Mccormick poppy seeds to Germinate and when was the last time that you did it? My Morning Glory's however are doing very well.

Yeah most bulk retail seeds will germinate! Actually most of them are very strong pharm poppies. Alot comes from Australia Tasmania when you buy seeds for food,baking if it says manufactured in Australia on them.
Alot of seeds also comes from Turkey and will be of great quality for growing
