Hey guys. Been lurking here for a while and wanted to start growing. I'm too lazy and too cheap to order seeds online at the moment, plus, I dont want to have to invest in a carbon filter, etc etc and what not on a grow room just yet. And lastly I wanted to gain a little indoor growing knowledge first anyway...
So... I went down to the local super market and picked up a jar of McCormick poppy seeds and sprinkled the little guys on a fresh "pot" (read: new mop bucket holes) of soil under a 100w equivalent CFL. I did this about three days ago and now I have well over a dozen sprouts.
I DO have a camera and will be uploading pics, but right now there isnt much to look at. Probably tomorrow I will post some close ups on the little things, along with my setup.
Tomorrow I am also going to buy 6 more of the lights, a couple power strips, some zip ties, and some proper planters. I want to grow about 7 plants total. Dont think that will be enough to give me very much opium, but alas, its just a start, and is designed to be more or less "proof of concept".
If anyone has done a poppy CFL grow I would love to know how that turned out. My sprouts are looking fantastic right now, hopefully I can keep them that way. I do have some fertlizer (10-54-10) that I might start using in another 4 or 6 weeks, but we'll see. This isnt anything fancy right now. My next grow will probably be hydroponics. I would like to go with aero, or at least a hybrid aero/deep water culture, but again, we'll see how these turn out...
