Look it up on other growing sites. It is like the same thing with growing marijuana. I can tell you all about it but it isn't where I want to spend my time and effort. Others have said it before much more clearly and thoroughly and with experience that I don't have.
I can tell you that they don't like to be coddled or nurtured.. certainly not indefinitely. They are very tolerant to harsh and cold. They do quite well in less than ideal growing conditions. They like to be dressed with higher nitrogen content if possible and thinned out to 6'' space as they get bigger. They don't like to be sewn or planted traditionally.. You can just broadcast them onto your ground and rake it in with the autumn rains or throw them onto the last snow as it is melting in early spring and they will get a good grip on life before the hot weather comes, but this is how everyone suggests to bring in the crop. I am still totally new to poppy growing. This coming season is gonna be my first real attempt. I cast some seeds from the bakery into my garden early this year but I only got that one baby to flower. But I am gonna try to prep a guerilla plot over the winter or find some other vacant lots to broadcast seed and keep an eye on through the season. Not to mention I am gonna get a buncha seeds from some real varieties. Even to get a few hundo grams of some crude opium .. it would make a nice little head supply of H, ideally, after some experimenting. :}

When making a soil, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are normally stressed as the most essential nutrients to the plant. Although these are important, they are not the most important thing to a living soil. A living soil needs sufficient porosity, cation exchange capacity, organic matter, and most importantly calcium. You want a CEC of at least 10 meq and a base saturation of calcium at 85%. It's important for plant health, but all of these factors will make sure that you have a suitable environment for all your microbes to thrive and make sure you can get all the essential nutrients. There are studies where the phosphorus levels are 1000x less than a soil with phosphorus fertilizer, but it was present in the above ground biomass by a factor of 100x because the microbes were able to thrive and deliver the nutrients to the plant.
