How do I plant Opium Poppies?

Poppies can grow pretty much anywhere, even indoors. However, they do prefer to get a lot of sun in their lives, so outdoors is always best. If you're planting in a garden, all you need to do is cast the seeds out and let them fall where they may. You can cover them with a small amount of soil, only about a quarter inch, to give them a bit of extra protection from the elements. Poppies don't transplant well, so if you start them off in pots (indoors or out), then make sure to handle them very carefully when transplanting. Peat pots work well for starting out too, as you can plant the pot as well and it will biodegrade. This way you don't run the risk of hurting the poppy's sensitive root system.

Lighting and Photoperiod for Indoor Growing

For Papaver Somniferum varieties, it is best to use HID lamps (HPS or MH). A 1000W can shed ample light to grow a 12ft by 12ft area. HIDs get hot so you may need to cool the room or find a plant that grows in a warm climate.

Photoperiod for germination and the vegitative "cabbage stage" should be 12/12 (12 hours on; 12 hours off).
To force flowering use an 18/6 or 24/0 photoperiod.

Det kan du sagtens, og du behøver intet fancy-pansy udstyr. Tjek poppies.org hvor der er en stor growing-sektion. Du kan også dyrke dem guerillia, evt. ved at købe en pose frø/birkes, hælde dem ud i hånden, holde hånden op for munden og pust. Så bliver de spredt over et lille område. måske lige sparke en smule jord henover, så fuglene ikke hapser dem, men ikke så meget igen.
