Poppin Poppies

well i think the slight yellowing started when I used that slightly heavier silted guano..then I had to rinse and Ive been needing to lightly give it some N but with it being N sensitive i held off.next full watering i plan on giving it some carbs from rice wash and a small cpl teaspoons to a half gallon drench with a drop of cal mag..maybe two lol. but we'll see.this is the first time ive ever attempted these sooo i dunno lmfao!they dont look all that terrible knowing they got a shock lol! hoping to smooth it through at this point. i lil crispy or tough in the middle..Is that normal..?lol or cuz i shocked em lightly?eh prolly both lmfao!!

fed them slightly

Well after making sure it was natural yellowing verses being withered by a hot silted guano i added sometime ago, i used grey water. about 2/3 - 3/4 US gallons...Added 2 Teaspoons of fishies 5-1-1 to a gallon of water strength, a teaspoon of two of kelp liquid ,a small dollop of bloom cal mag and a cpl teaspoons of Endo WP all stirred in well and soaked through really well since it was running vwery very dry lol :smoke:

Whoa there, everything I have read about growing poppies has said they enjoy abuse. Basically a loamy, fast draining, low nute enviroment is best. They thrive in drought conditions. I've read people saying they don't water at all, let the rainfall take care of it.
I know it is in our nature to try to provide everything we think they need as plants but as I read, they do best when almost completely ignored. Sounds strange but my peyote cactus are the same way. low low low nutes and water super infrequently (of course these ARE cactus after all) but poppies are very similar in their water requirements. I've sown some over the winter, more this week and I will sow for the next month. Then starts the thinning. You have to give them some room. When they cluster up they compete. I think it was several centimeters apart but please research. Good luck. I'll post any results I get as well.
 
Nice! Sds like you have quite the collection of pap somniferum. I also spend quite a bit of time & $$ collecting various strains. Turkish Red & Some really nice Glaxo Smith Kline Tazmanians. They make me very very happy come mid June.
 
Very nice Aku I also collect as many strains as I can. Started up about 10 yrs ago, got a few killers in the mix!! The Glaxo Smith Kline Tazmanians I recently acquired as the best yet. Turkish Reds are sick too.. Usually I average about 20 25 bulbs per plant.
