Hydroponic Heroin http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=hydroponic+heroin
Go there for the torrent. I downloaded it and am seeding it. I opened it and it's a great copy!!
OK this is what I did Ihurs. evening... Step by step and will update as they come along...
* What you need: * Potting soil * Perlite * Vermiculite * Pete pots/pellets * Clear plastic tray * Water collecting dish * And of course... POPPY SEEDS!!!
  
Now what I did was use the plastic tray to mix up 2 parts potting soil w/ 1 part vermiculite and 1 part perlite...
 
Once I was done mixing, I filled up my pete pots (lightly, not compact) like so...

Then I put a pinch of poppy seeds in each pot covering w/ a VERY thin layer of vermiculite...

You can't tell in the pic, but what I did next is give them a very generous misting w/ a water bottle...

Then I poured a little water in the collecting tray, covered w/ the clear plastic tray for mini green house effect (after I cleaned it off from doing the soil mixture), and placed them in my growing area...
 
*****************************************
OK so It's only been 4 days and this is what I'm working w/...
 
Everyday I've been misting at least once. And now that the seeds have sprouted I am removing the clear plastic tray from the top. Also, I fill the collecting tray w/ fertilized water once a day. I use 1 teaspoon of the stuff in the pic below and mix it w/ 1 gallon of water.
 

*****************************************
You'll notice that they have started to develop there "true" leaves. Ok here they are...
  
I'm going to have to thin them out soon. Also, they might start develop mold due to the moisture. I combat this w/ what you see in the pic. I noticed it most on the outside of the pots so I just sprayed each one of them down w/ this stuff and let the excess collect in the tray to be reabsorbed later.

They like "disturbed" soil w/ good drainage but also like moisture, that's why I mixed vermiculite and perlite to both aid in all of those 3 things. That's also why I lightly filled the pellets w/ soil mixture (not compact).

Nice. This will be fun to watch.
I started some seeds a little over a week ago but nothing popped. So I bought a different type and planted em probably the same day you started yours too. They are growing. 
I couldn't get the link to work for me. I dunno what to do I suppose. I tried both of em in that link too.

Thank you both. I got it downloaded now.
I really didn't know where to put this and I wanted to share it.
I started two 18oz cups several days back. I took a clear cup and cut the rim off it so that it would slide into the soil cup and make a humidity dome. I did it for both of em. In one cup the poppies have sprouted and I removed the dome. The other cup I can see the little sprouts but they stalled out for some reason so I've just left the dome on. And here's the little kicker. There's mushies growing in the stalled out cup that still has the dome on it. LOL
A couple years ago I put into my compost a bunch of contaminated substrate that was somewhat colonized. When I did that I was turning my compost pile to keep the heat up. But a couple mushies did grow in the pile anyhow. And now two years later I am using this compost. But I am amazed to see these little mushies growing. I did have a dream last night about a ton of mush growing in a yard somewhere though. I wish I could get a picture of em. They are so small. LOL
I'm wondering if it's from the substrate of a couple years back or just some random spores that have been waiting dormant. I may go gather a bit more of the compost and just put it in a container with a lid to see if I get some more of em to grow just for kicks and giggles.
And I thought I was growing poppies. LOL

Those mushrooms are likely to be a contaminant species. If you can provide pictures I can give you an identification. I'm a mushroom nerd too.

I didn't get to my camera before the shrooms dropped their spores and keeled over. I did notice that they stayed nice and short while under 24hr light. But as soon as I began to cycle the lights they stretched and got very skinny. The dead shroom in the soil looks like a tiny angel hair pasta on the soil all crumpled up. I wish I could of got a couple pics of em before they cycled. But here's some poppy seedling porn. I really don't know what they are, but they may make a nice flower to brighten up the room.

Bugger you didn't get a pic of the mushroom but it happens.
Poppies are looking ok though. They would of stretched during the dark period but it's nothing to worry about, they look fairly typical for ones of that age. The one that is a little more advanced and leaning will correct itself as the taproot thickens so don't worry about it flopping around.
