I love plants but currently the only place I can use to grow is my bedroom. I currently have a couple of cacti that I help with a small growing light, what other drugs I should consider growing? I need them to survive without a lot of light, not smell too much and be of relatively small size.
I know how opium latex is harvested but this plants are in my hometown as decoration and I can't harvest it. Does it have any effect? Is it dangerous? Cause I read a paper of someone dying. Is there any other option to obtain the latex/drug effects excluding the traditional way?
own some land and today went looking for some, any goood?
Hi, long time lurker on this sub! This weekend I was lucky enough to acquire this beauty, a Peyote Grafted to a San Pedro! The lovely gentleman I bought it from only had this one, and I can’t help but feel that it chose me. All that being said, I’ve only been seriously into plants for a few months now, and have never even owned a cactus. I’d like some help from some more experienced growers. I’m keeping this in an indoor apartment, so I was looking for suggestions on a grow light! I was told to try and mimic the Texas Thornscrub environment as closely as possible. I was also told to make sure the top 3 inches were dry before watering, and to water in the summer and not the winter. It was also suggested that I may want to prune the arm without the Peyote, as it would compete for resources. I wanted to ask, is it seriously taking a ton from the peyote in a way that’s harmful to it, or is it more like the peyote just grows a bit slower? If I prune, I was told to try to do it as close to the growth point as possible, and to use sulfur. Is there special cactus sulfur like a spray or something I should buy? Any recommendations on the sulfur would also be much appreciated! Lastly, certain bits of the cactus seem to be brown (see last photo) in a way that makes it almost look like it rotted or something. Should I be worried about that? If so how should I proceed to handle that, and what’s going on there? Any and all advice would be appreciated! I feel insanely blessed to to have come across this and want to care for it the best I possibly can, thanks :)
Gave it a good soak so the handfuls come out easier
EDIT
My Datura innoxia (downy thorn-apple) will be blooming tonight. Night time pollinators will be partaking, but I won't be. As it is more of a delirium than a hallucinogenic. Zone 8b
It is in fact a Wrightii
Took some cuttings from a ginormous brugmansia and some smaller cuttings from a datura - any advice on how to propagate? Home depot rooting compound? Water? Soil?
We started this about 6 months ago, now up to 10 plants in the multiplication phase and about 100 seed grown plants growing in-vitro.
I got some knats. In my house and somehow I got a few in my tent now, growing kratom. Wtf do I do???
I threw some leftover seeds into my garden maybe 2 weeks ago. I now have some saplings. It wasn't a serious effort but, now I want them to succeed. I am in southern michigan and while I had some do okay in Georgia I have never grown anything here. Might I see some blooms here this year? What are my chances? Any help would be appreciated.
I have 6 plants and was wondering what I can expect for yield in grams of opium?
Do you think the bees will notice the girls?
Near my house, some papaver somniferums have grown, about 20 cm tall. It's still spring here. I'm worried they'll cut the grass and waste them. Some have already flowered, others have only the stem and leaves.
I just got it 2 days ago from a dispensary, pretty sure it was grown under lights which is why I think its sunburning?
So, I've had a bunch of hens and chicks seeds in my fridge since late last summer and said screw it, lets try putting some in ice cubes for a few days, then throw them in a massive pot with a decent soil mix to see what happens. Well, to my surprise, I had tiny little sprouts within a few days! My only confusion is that some look slightly different from the others. Google AI says they both look like they could be poppy seedlings, so that was no help lol.
If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it. I took these pics last night with a flashlight, so if they aren't clear enough, then please lmk and I'll take more tomorrow.
Oh, I will add that I noticed one of the roots when moving the pot because it pushed the soil away from the side and the tap root was suuuper long. That made me think that at least that one has to be a poppy. What do I know though haha. Thanks for any help!!
