House Plant Are Cool Too

[tobh]

Heya!

Figured this could be a cool thread. I know many of y'all aren't strictly cannabis fans, and grow a bunch of other random stuff too. With that being said, whatchu got?!

Right now, we have a small collection of pathos, a snake plant, a calathea, a money tree, a ficus, and some cacti that are at the other house (will get pics posted later). nevermind the mess on the table. kids + moving has everything in a bit of disarray atm.

Started some lavender, a Russian mammoth sunflower some morning glories and sweet pepper!

And my lemon balm I shaved a few days ago and it blew right back.

papaver somniferum is what you want. turkish red has the highest morphine content, followed by danish flag. the peshawar are higher in thiamine and codeine. they work really well with my lady's menstrual cramps, whereas i prefer the turkish red for my lower back pain.

if you haven't yet, do a ton of research on making tea. not sure if you've ever ODed on opiates, but it's not fun, and it's very possible with tea. there's almost zero way to ensure consistent dosing across the pods and stalks, so it's one of those things that you dose low and increase until you get to where you want to be vs like, taking two points of molly because you know your body can handle it.

are you taking those with you, harvesting, =( killing them ?

do you clone them or just seed?

those are actually pics from a few years back. this year the birds got to all my seed before they could germinate.

you can't clone poppies, nor should you try to transplant them. you need to broadcast sow them in the late winter as they require stratification to germinate. the problem with that is, birds eyes are ridiculously sharp and they can spot those tiny specs all over the ground. to them, they think you're giving them gifts. to you, the birds are the fucking devil lol

thanks for the brain food

you can also sow them in the fall, but i've not tried that. with that particular year, i let ~50% of the pods open fully and self seed. the following year i had some volunteers but not many. this year i haven't seen any. when you let the pods open fully, that's when potency of the alkaloids starts to divebomb too. the goal is to either harvest latex right before the pods start to open, or harvest the full stalks at that time.

non-obligatory disclaimer: in the US, scoring poppy pods to harvest latex is a felony offense and will land you in jail for conspiracy to manufacture and/or manufacturing a controlled substance. growing poppies as an ornamental is legal. harvesting any parts of the plant for human consumption is not.

also, be mindful that the damn things look like weeds when they sprout. like, dandelions or milkweed. so it can be difficult to know what's what, and they don't do well with competing big taproot plants, like dandelions and milkweed. the tell-tale sign you have what you think is 1. knowing what their leaves look like and 2. the weird alien head looking flower buds.

I actually tend to kill most houseplants out of sheer neglect.
I like to grow nice lawns though. So much so that I do it for a living

Poppy tea is a favorite of mine. I usually dry them in bulk and then grind them all into a homogenous powder to use for tea. Easier to make a consistently dosed tea that way.

No such thing as a perfect lawn bruh hahaha. I'm not sure what the one black spot in the pic is, not there in real life.. but the black plate you see on the lawn in front of my wife got hot in the sun and killed a perfectly round spot lol.

No man, we don't edit posts here. Unless we really want to, that is.

Had some stupid young guys here pick those red poppies from a field and drank it out of a coke bottle and killed them..dunno what they did but..have thousands of acres planted of them ea yr here.

nope, i put that there. i don't know if/how well this site is going to be indexed on the search engines, so it's the least i can do for harm reduction. someone might stumble across that post and think it's harmless then get hemmed up on a severely punished, victimless crime. now if that happens, they can't say i didn't tell em so.

the passionflower is dope.

dude, they're super cool plants. pollinators love em. they get massive, too, like grape vines. i learned last year they are somewhat invasive here in the PNW, and will spawn new plants rhizomorphically via branches resting on the ground.

that's not a surprise at all. with the turkish reds and danish flags, i'll typically start out with two or three pods about the size of a half dollar coin. any more than that and one starts approaching danger territory.

ive Never tried it .scraping them that is and coming back later to collect them from the field.had plenty of them in tab form.have them here in purples,orange and the greys.those fuckers got me.sitting there yapping to peeps with your eyes shut ...was years ago but..very addictive shit.
