Who's growing this year?

[N0mad]

I found some cream to rub on my p3nis and it's grown 2" since. Does that count or am I in the wrong thread? ops:

LaZeR, you just can't help yourself can you? :roll:

I know, right? And I thought I was addicted!

Fertilize liberally with Albolene for maximum growth.

Quickly googles up Albolene......

I am seeing what looks like white specks of dust on the soil where the Rustica and Perique were scattered, which means the seeds are beginning to sprout.

Nothing on mine yet, but then again I only scattered the seeds yesterday Still watching them though since it says 7 days to sprout. Usually things seem to go a little faster than it says on the packages though.

im going to be giving mine 24 hours of light until they sprout then set them up by the window

I finally made my decision :wink:

I'm going to try my hand at growing the DelGold variety.
It's a cross between Virginia 115, Hicks Broadleaf, & N. Rustica
In 1994 it made up 42% of the flue cured crop in Ontario, Canada

ordered from here: http://www.sustainableseedco.com/delgold-tobacco.html

I'm just following a hunch that DelGold will make a good snus.

Canadian cigarettes owe their taste to Virginia tobaccos so I'm going to take my chances using their most popular variety.

somebody should start a "What are you growing" thread.

that way everybody can post what they are growing and edit their posts by posting updated pictures of how their baccy is coming along

[snupy]

I put the children outdoors today for some sunshine, although only 8 of these bottles are baccy:



5 of the 10 rustica seeds are sprouted, as can be seen in this shot taken from above, looking into the bottle:

Howdy!

I keep forgetting to order seeds. I've been real busy with moving and stuff. I was just about to order some and realized you guys probably have extras since they seem to sell in packs of hundreds. So if any of you want to sell some extras PM me. Otherwise I'll just order some.

Cheers!

I got mine from:
http://www.virtualseeds.com/tobacco-main.html

That is where mine came from as well....

I got the following...

#28 SMALL STALK BLACK MAMMOTH. Nicotiana Tabacum. (TOP SELLER)
This is a deep dark tobacco that gives good weight and supports itself very well. This is a tobacco prized by specialty growers because it provides a great wrapper tobacco or a premium snuff tobacco when ripe. A good tobacco for beginners learning to roll their own cigars or for first time snuff makers.

#10 Common Indian Tobacco ( Rustica )(recommended for northern growers and containers)
A half hardy annual that grows to about 3 ft. and is cultivated worldwide for smoking and nicotine production. Has copious pale green flowers that remain open during the day. For me, it was my earliest flowering tobacco plant and is a great tub or container plant. Heirloom variety and seeds can be saved for future harvests. Caution: High in nicotine, makes a great all natural insecticide. Can be absorbed through skin so caution around pets and children warranted.

I also have 6 Cuban Havana plants started.

Great to see so many people growing!! I wouldn't have even attempted to grow if it weren't for all the advice given here. Looking forward to following everyone's experiences and hope to see more pictures!

I started a few plants back in mid January:
Tennessee TN90
Black Sea Samsun
Little Dutch
Little Crittenden
Mohawk Ceremonial Rustica

Here's a pic taken today of the TN90 (the largest leaf is a wee larger than my hand) I'm proud of this baby especially since I usually, unintentionally, KILL plants, guess there is still time to do that:

[redheadedmax]

Wow!

Mine started to sprout today after four and a half days stuffed in a closet under a light along with a space heater set to 72 degrees. I hope mine can make it where yours are now.

All joking aside, I found this tidbit:

Effect of amount and time of application of nitrogen on the nicotine content of tobacco leaves

RH Crockford

Abstract

The nicotine content of tobacco plants was found to be influenced by both the amount of nitrogenous fertilizer and the method of application. Split applications, with the second portions being applied between 34 and 46 days after planting substantially increased leaf nicotine levels. The later the second portion was applied the more marked was the effect. The magnitude of the effect was slightly negative in the lowest leaves and increased with ascending leaf position to the top group, where increases in excess of 100 per cent occurred. The split application treatments slightly reduced the size of the plant, but did not affect the weight of the root system.
