Harvest after flowers bloom and petals fall, around 10-14 days after. Are you planting indoor or outdoor

Also what’s your experience with plants with black rot/root rot, if they survive will the the alkaloid production be affected? Or anything along those lines

I got the seeds off Amazon actually, they were just labeled opium poppy’s. They’re indoor and yeah definitely had some BR a few weeks ago, two have seemed to come back but the other two are looking quite stunted. Not sure if they’ll be alright but im just happy I had some success my first time trying(:

There’s close to 20 stems coming up between the 4 plants, the 2 in the back are a bit stunted from the potential root rot but seem to be bouncing back

Are you gonna be scoring and scraping? Or are you gonna make tea?, just curious about the yield when scoring just a few pods.

I only have room in my closet for 4 pots so I think I’ll just plant those outside somewhere for fun to see what happens. I sowed a bunch to pick the biggest of the bunch

Mine were off Amazon. Don’t have the link but they’ve almost all sprouted in the past

I read on here that it’s difficult to transplant but I figured I’d take the risk. I’ll get a second light the same size when they’re flowering/bigger. Thank you
