Totally not worth it. Look at what’s required to grow a poppy.

How much space do you have?

Look up “poppy botany” and find out what spectrum of light is needed, when growing weed two different lights are required,in the growing state(vegative stage18 hrs of light and 6 hrs darkness) weed thrives with a “metal halide” but when you decrease hrs (12 hrs of light and 12 hrs darkness) to promote bud growth you add a “hi pressure sodium”….

Do some digging online and you’ll find out what you need to know,try googling Poppy Botany and Growing poppies indoors and you should find the answer plus a recipe on the do’s and don’ts of growing,soil,nutrients,life cycle…

You’d have to figure out you lighting requirements are by the area of your grow space ,just for a reference in the 80’s when I had a two light setup 2x400 watt covering a 4’x8’ area (32 sq ft)my monthly electrical bill was around $80-100 a month I’d say the prices are about double in 2022,it’s just something to keep in mind ,, Growing indoors isn’t cheap and it sucks learning things the hard way so do your research…

Without research, I would use HPS lamps and a REALLY well airated soil, I can not stress enough to not over water your plants, will kill them almost instantly

Guess it depends on where you live. Are you in a warm climate pretty much year round?

I hear that once you get a base of them set and growing they do really well and spread out and keep on coming up year after year.

 

[VerbalTruist]

NR makes a very good point. Where do you live? How much space do you have? Can you do it somewhere that it will go unnoticed by people? Poppy field are gorgeous. They will attract attention.

It is really quite easy because you harvest the opium and some but not all of the pods (if you want, or none) the pods go back to seed and keep the cycle going. It’s a fairly straightforward but uncultivated and wild process if done right.

Just for future reference if you ever get a source for free electric ( 1 thick extension cord) that you don’t have to pay for you can search the electrical contractors in your area for their trash,old lights are fine even if you gotta buy new bulbs you’ll still get the housing and the ballast which is the major cost of lighting ,they come across them all the time when working in factories,warehouses,street lighting … your shopping for used stuff which will be much cheaper than buying grow lights from a grow shop,hydroponics place..your looking buy used lighting from them ,which they normally just trash it..

With weed it was definitely worth it to grow your own regarding the cost ,with poppies I have no idea …

Kinda amazing, someones trash is someones tresure... Tbh my understanding in electricity and technology is on very low level but i defenetly want to learn and i Will , thank you for info/help.. you guys rule

I have read some weeks ago here in BL that @negrogesic did grow them indoor with great results, apparently. Don't know if he used lamps or not. Hopefully he will chime in to tell you.

All I can say is I have grown them on a certain outdoor place for some years and used to get good poppies, but this year I tried to do it in a balcony and failed miserably. I live in a sunny country but my balcony only gets direct sunlight from 9 am to 1,30 pm or so....
Imo, if you can't assure them to have more than 7 ( at the very least) hours of direct sunlight exposition, your goal will be seriously jeopardized.
Also, them poppies are not cannabis, they are not demanding plants regarding nutrition or specific soil, they can grow in very poor sandy grounds, but despite it, they still are fragile living beings, specially when young.
They don't like being transplanted, they need water but at the same time they can't tolerate too much of it....
I totally get you wanting to grow them as a hobbie, just for the pleasure of seeing them growing, but if you can't provide them enough sun or if electrical bills will be involved, I honestly would forget about it.

If you live in USA the penalty is kinda on the stiff side if you get caught. No way to lie your way out of it if they're in your basement.

Now there's some harm reduction for ya.

I wonder how they would charge you ,by weight ?weighing the uprooted plants as finished product ? Heroin …
Manufacturing,and distribution charges without a doubt,but they’ll offer some type of deal as long as you stay with the personal use thing,I’d get rid of any scales or baggies or anything remotely associated with dealing I’d remove from the premises,and never grow if you own the property cause you’ll lose it..

first question is, do you live in Antarctica? or the north pole perhaps?

I grew some indoors recently. The resulting poppies were far stronger than any outdoor grown poppies I've had (and I have consumed many pounds of outdoor poppies).

So it certainly can be done. It was alot of work but it was also quite fascinating to watch them grow. I grew them in a little 4x4 grow tent (as well as another group in my garage).

A couple of things:

- Don't grow them during the summer unless you live somewhere where it doesn't get too hot, or you can control the temperature. The grow tent shouldn't reach over 80 degrees, and the young plants like colder temps (65-70 degrees).

- In the tent I used two inexpensive "600W" LED lights I bought on Amazon (the true output of these are like 60W).

- I used standard potting soil but I mixed in perlite at a ratio of 3 parts soil 1 part perlite

- Feed regularly with organic fertilizers and blood meal

Would recommend doing research, I read everything I could find on the subject of growing poppies.

However, I will never grow these again. I must have some Afghan blood in me because it turns out I was very good at growing these, and I wound up yielding far more than I anticipated. As someone who has been horribly and hopelessly addicted to opioids in the past, a good strong dose of this stuff thows off my already low functioning opioid system. About three to four days after drinking tea made from these pods, a slowly developing depression sort of comes over me, as well as joint pain, difficulty sleeping, skin sensitivity, etc. This state lasts for a good 10 days, maybe more. Not really worth it. So not going to grow them anymore.

I gave some to my girlfriend when she was having really bad period pain. Right after dosing her (a capsule with raw opium in it) I realized the dose was too high. I figured she might get sick, vomiting, etc, and figured worse case I might have to give her some naltrexone. I go to check on her an hour later and she looks absolutely fucked up, high as hell, scratching her face, etc. I asked her, "did I give you too much?", and with a raspy voice (as if she had just emerged from surgery and the general anesthetic is wearing off) she says, "No I think it was the right amount".

My girlfriend has no history of drug use and what is interesting is that I have given her opioids in the past to treat pain, opioids such as hydrocodone, tianeptine, o-desmethyltramadol and kratom, but she never seemed to enjoy the effect. The opium however was very different in that she seemed to actually enjoy it, and unlike the other opioids I've given her in the past, she has asked for the poppies again. But that was the last time she'll be having it.

if i remember a successful poppy dosing interval, its once a fortnight.

thats advice for my future self.
