Getting seeds from your plants

[texasmade]

when i google it all i get are store sites. how do you get the seeds from the plants themselves?

The question reminds me of a thread in a German tobacco growing forum, 2 years ago. One member asked how to get seeds from the plants and some other members gave no other answers but "wait till the time has come", not even after the original poster politely asked for more informations.

I didn't really know what to think of that, because the seed vessels looked pretty complicated from the pictures that I had seen, not like it would be easy to get the seeds. Well, I didn't become a member of that forum.

5 months later I knew what the old members of that forum meant. It really was the best advice: wait till the time has come! The seeds literally fall out of the vessels by themselves. You only have to wait till the seed vessels open up a bit and then you can poor the seeds out. They will be fertile unless you have grown hybrids or genetically manipulated plants.

Cheers!

You let your plants flower instead of topping them and they develop seed pods.

This guy is a very strange character but you'll learn a thing or two from watching his videos.
He's got a lot of tobacco growing videos.
