Grow Papaver Somn. Poppies

[Chemtrail]

Hi

Swim is asking how to grow opium poppies outdoors in bucket-pots (not transplanting) with a couple holes on bottom..
..maybe add some vermiculite or perlite on the top part of the sand + potting soil, to help hold water

Will a 50/50 mixture of sand and potting soil be good ?

Swim wants to use 10/10/10 fertilizer but doesn't know the correct manner to apply fertilizer the safe &correct way.

Heard you water daily esp. first 2 months and allow sunshine

Takes several months from start to finish

Is this correct ?

* If I knew what I was doing, I would write a how-to tutorial, instead of asking questions lol

Thank you

Where do you get the seeds from? I wouldn't deal with it so much, I think it's important that the soil is not glued together, so that it doesn't turn into a crust after watering and drying. and I think that even the humidity cannot be high because it will rot.

you can get some from okangan organics, its where i got my last set of seeds

Swim is still shopping for Turkey/southern Asia poppy seeds (or gigantium or queens or Lauren grape)
.. heard hens and chickens and Hungarian blue are good too ,no ?

...perhaps buy dried poppy pods and use the seeds of the "most impressive"

Swim is gonna begin gardening at the start of spring season

hens and chicks are good for extracting whole pods and tea i think, i tried making a hybrid of setigerum and galania but im not fully sure if it was successful, im gonna see if it was this growing season
