To start with I am attempting to grow this plant indoors. From what I have gathered this type of poppy is ideal for indoor cultivation, which is the reason I chose this strain. I am using Shultz succulent soil mix and starting my plant in a 2 inch pot. At this point there are a few small true leaves, and the height of the plant is 2 cm tall. I started them in moist(not soaking) soil with a sandwich bag covering the pot to create a humidity dome untill the seedling emerged, with the temperature at a constant 79 degrees ferinheit. I am using a 30K 85 watt CFL(soft white spiral bulb), and I have the plant on a 12/12 light schedule. Also, I let the soil dry out completely between watering, and I am using a hydroponics fertilizer(from stealth hydro) mixed at 1 quarter strength every other day. I flush the soil once every 10 days, and mix a small amount of 3% H2O2 with all of my water, which is distilled.
