Hey everybody,
this evening I started my tobacco seeds for this season. I'm very excited as it is my first time growing from seeds.
Last year I bought transplants and grew in pots but the plants weren't really happy with the conditions I put them in. And the now cured leaves have black mold on them...
But that means it can only go better, at least I hope so.
The varieties I chose are:
Badisch Geudertheimer
Yellow Twist Bud
Prilep 66-9/7
Helena
I chose these as I've heard they're all fairly easy to air-cure. I'm looking to produce an American cigarette blend from YTB, Prilep and Helena. With the Badisch Geudertheimer i'll try to roll some cigars, cigarillos or experiment in some cigarette blends with it.
As I've read that YTB can be quite nice just color-cured I'll try a portion of it relatively young as as standalone cigarette tobacco as well.
Luckily I don't have to grow in pots this year but now have access to a nice piece of acreage with sun exposure all day long. I'm planning to grow 3 to 4 plants per species.
Very excited for the process!
Tips and opinions are very much welcome!
