Nice "lettuce" patch, he, he.... Wish I had the space like that! :clap:
Looks as though you will be having some tall flowers :thumbs:.
 
Question... Is it possible to LST or scrog the shoots to keep a even canopy in order to maximize space indoors?
 
Absolutely you can lst them, and i go w/ 20/4hr all the way through bloom.
 
Smashed,

When running 20/4 from seed how many days until harvest? And how low can you go when lsting? I am thinking of grabbing some dwarf danish flag variety, supposedly only grow 18"-24" tall.
 
If you are looking for compact plants that produce a punch , I would have to recommend the Peshwar strain. They stay small and I findpeshwar1.jpgpesh2.jpgpesh3.jpg them ~very~ Potent.

When compared to other varieties such as......size1.jpgsize2.jpg these pic'ed here. Well , I'm sure you can see the difference in size. The peshwars are really quick to sprout , in as little as 3-4 days. Seeds are always in surplus.
 
Hello Urb

I've got that Peshwar strain, and I like it very much. I originally got my seeds from Alchemy Works in NY state, but their web page is down now. And I remember well the OG site that got busted. What a shame, it was a good site.

Here's one pic I didn't post before, some of the children lined out in the garden. I believe the mature plants were fall planted and the line of children to the left were added in spring.

And I haven't even seeded any this year yet.

Hey guys, I have these plants growing "wild" out in the back yard. I guess someone must have planted the seeds some years ago, but they keep coming back every year, lush and healthy, without me ever lifting a finger to help them along.

The reason I haven't ever tried to produce any opium from them is that they are close to the neighbors yard and I don't want her seeing me playing with them.

So I have a few questions:
Can any of you tell by looking at these young plants if this is the sort of Poppy that will produce opium?

If so, Great! and, I'd like to move them somewhere else. I guess it's just a big forest of roots underground that I'd have to dig out and transplant, right? (Of course I'd wait till fall, after they've run the cycle and aren't growing anymore.)
