One other thing you need to know is that they do not like a lot of water.
They prefer to be a bit dry.
Other than that, seems like you have the basics.

all you really need to do.. is try and give it the same environment/temps/lighting that it would receive in its natural environment.
Which, most if not all poppies come from places such as Afghanistan..
and if you read Lil Czr's post.. it reminds you of what.. Afghanistan. (or it did for me anyhow..)
anyhow, that's my 2cents. Just trying to make it a little easier on ya.
peace.

I have not grown them but will in the future. I was told they are to be grown with techniques that are a complete 180 degress from MJ. They flower with more light, not less, which explains why the flower heading into summer when the light cycle expands. During flower they need N, not PK. What else??? Hmmm...
What I've read so far here is very informative. It really is the opposite of herb in many ways. Week/shollow roots whereas MJ has strong deep roots. Poppies don't like to be transplanted yet MJ usually can be transplanted without skipping a beat.
I would love to see a poppy grow journal.

Thanks again. What ,if any,nutes should I use? My soil is alittle sandy , but it's rich in something because everything grows like crazy around me. My woods are full of wild flowers so this might be a good sign. I already have the full line of FoxFarm nutes... maybe I can use something from those? Thanks again,again.

If your soil is fairly decent, they really shouldn't need a lot of ferts.
You could hit them with a very light dose when you see that they are sending up pods.
But you could more than likely get by with no ferts at all.
If you over do it though, you will probably kill them, so be careful if you feed them.

Ya know, I did see pictures of a hydro grow once, the plants were gorgeous, but I don't think it's common practice. Also, if you just sprinkle the seeds all over after it rains you'll end up with hundreds and maybe thousands of plants in a couple years. Poppies will grow like weeds, and each plant can produce literally thousands of seeds which will disperse on their own. A very cool combo. Just don't do it by your house, a few will likely go unnoticed, but if they're everywhere somebody might start asking uncomfortable questions.

Me too. I'll be following along. I found a nice spot yesterday and I think I'll get started Mon. or Tue. I looked at some pictures and they don't seem to grow in bunches like other flowers. If you were growing poppy in pots, would you put multiple plants per pot...or just 1( like weed )?? I'm not using pots ...just trying to get an idea of how they grow best. My soil is good were I live...so I'll be starting with just water unless someone has a nute recipe for these things. I have so many critters around my house that trying to grow weed out there is a pain in the ass, and it draws more attention using chicken wire and shit like that...so I grow Hydro indoors now. And no....I can't shoot all the critters...that would be a full time job..lol. Do I have to worry about the Deer and Rabits with these?? Thanks for all the help
