Was suprised when I seen the thread pop up in the new post! Ive been reading up on poppies for a while. About 2 years now. This thread has a lot of good info from colder germination temps, air flow to keep mold and mdew down, roots growing out more than down, dryer conditions during harvest if possable, reverse flowering compared to MJ ( longer days cause flowering) several ways to get the goods and the warning about addiction and OD. Poppies are useful, can be fun, but need to be respected or they can plant you as fast as a handful of painkillers. It takes less mixed opiates than any single one like was also mentioned!
I threw out some Mc's this spring a little after frosts. Left for something I cant remember and came back to knee high weeds! been mowing the area this year. Was fill dirt from feild right-of-ways. Gonna start hoeing out a patch for next year. Sow them this late fall and just before snow melts off. Probably 1,000 sq ft! Haha no probably just along this ugly ass fence line. Gettng sick and tired of weed eating so been planting perrenials like hostas, lillies amd others around. Poppies are an annual but figure they reseed pretty good, look awesome and have added benefits! Try to get them going on their own.
For indoors it seems a type of tray system or soilless has potential. Something like a wide long rubbermaid or something. I dont know how deep specifically but I would guess things wider than they are deep. Maybe those totes made to go under a bed? Its all hypothesis here tho all my growing happens outside.
I love all the awesome informative posts and friendly banter in here... this is the community we had hoped to build...
