Congratulation, CV, for having found that sketchy info. I'm afraid that I can find no composition analysis anywhere on their site. Even just a rudimentary N : P : K would be something.

In addition to chloride salts that may or may not be listed, chlorine can also be derived from muriatic acid muriate of potash.
These hydroponic nutrient potions may be fine for tobacco. Not knowing can be a problem. More than a few forum members grew gorgeous tobacco crops (in the ground) that produced leaf which cured beautifully, but exhibited poor burn. If the leaf has been properly kilned after curing, yet still fails to burn, it may be due to excess chlorine (from fertilizer or chlorinated water).
If you don't mind being the guinea pig, then your results would add to our information pool.

If your water supply is chlorinated, you can just fill a large, plastic barrel, and let it stand a few days. Much of the chlorine will dissipate.
Bob
Edit: I believe they sell chlorine filters that can be attached to a single spigot.

I’m starting to grow strawberries under 200 watts indoors in hydroponics. No need to worry about money it’s worth it in knowledge. Maybe? Its interesting to try mimic Mother Nature but she can be hard to replicate.
It’s surprising what you learn when you are in charge of everything in a plants environment.
Does anybody know if tobacco is fully day neutral? Will you grow them on the same daylight hrs start to finish?
The folks here recommended to me some pipe tobaccos to try when I took up pipe smoking (a few weeks ago). If you can get some “John cottons 1&2” it was my favourite. I found the aromatic tobacco like lane 1-q and captain black blonde to be nice smelling, great for everyone else in the room, but my mouth didn’t know I was smoking. John Cotton 1&2 smelled slightly unappealing in the can when I first got it but I’ve taken a real shine to it now. I think it’s the Latakia that really brings it to life, I don’t know.
Anyway I’ve only tried 4 types of pipe tobacco so I’m sure there are plenty others as well worth buying.

As discussed in a number of grow logs over the years, a very small number of tobacco varieties ("giant" varieties, in particular) are dark-period sensitive, and will not produce seed until the dark period is lengthy enough each night. Stray, ambient light at night is enough to disrupt these. BUT...nearly all tobacco varieties are not particularly sensitive to the dark period. Either way, leaf production is unaffected.

In spring, I'm going to be asking you for your advice on germination.

The ones that sprouted first are the ones i germinated last, this is the "Nicotiana rustica, Aztec tobacco " The Virginia and KY17 i germinated last Wednesday and haven't seen any growth in them yet..
I sprouted way more than ill need so i guess im going to put a bunch outside... here in south texas maybe they will survive..
and here is some tobacco porn from later in the day.

So why are the lights pink or fuchsia, or the like? Why not simply full spectrum?

Cost per light
$8 per month isn't too bad a hit. But the previous post says "300W". Is that not the wattage?

Led lighting companies often sell products as more then they actually draw. It is very annoying. In this case I think the led chips are 5 watt each x 60 chips. BUT they are not being driven at 5 watt. It’s suppose to be like 300 watt equivalent of high pressure sodium or some bs.
Is what it really is is false, misleading marketing.
Timber grow lights does not use this false marketing. ( I’m not connected to timber just a happy customer)

I guess the problem is that most of us are accustomed to thinking of brightness in terms of power consumed by an incandescent bulb, rather than as lumens. When a more energy-efficient light comes out, consumers are stumped. A 60 watt incandescent bulb is about 800 lumens. An LED that puts out 800 lumens consumes only about 10 watts.
Bob
EDIT: I might add that when you're looking at a heat lamp, you really don't give a rip about the lumens. It's all about the power--the thermal energy produced.
