Alright guys, so this about wraps up my grow. I still have several pods coming in and what not, but the proof is in the pudding as they say, and this is proof enough for me. I hope you feel the same.





Next grow: Wally-World supplies, and some minor stuff from a hydroponics store. Im thinking at least 20 plants, probably a combo of either floros (T5 or T8) and CFLs, or an HID and CFLs. We shall see though. Probably just start off with CFLs though. But that... is a whole other grow journal.

I’m trying to grow poppies indoors, looking up light fixtures on Amazon and I found T5 fluorescents, is this acceptable?

Just start them under compact cfl bulbs at 12/12, they take a while to get going. Then move them to a led panel light like the pot growers use. HLG, Mehzi, Mars, etc
I wouldn't go for T5s for the growing season, not efficient. This thread is 11 years old, so times have changed

Poppys go from 12/12 to 18/6, short to long light cycle to go into bloom, seeds need light exposure and cooler temps to germinate.
Any variety in mind? Anything short and stout to grow?

Can I put T12 bulbs in a fixture that comes with T5 bulbs?

poppies are a pain in the ass... just so you know, you are going to need like a whole field's worth to get any really good yields...

lmao, more like you are standing in the middle of a wide open area in the middle of a giant crowd hoping someone doesn't notice.
