Hi all. I live in NZ and the only seeds I can buy are Virginia Golds and Burley, out of my limited choices Burley seems the better option. Though it is still a cigarette tobacco and I wanted tips and tricks on how to get it to mimic a cigar tobacco. I’m building my own fermentation box and...

Most of the plants this year are the children of a single Aztec rustica that barely grew but pushed out some seeds. I don't think it was even 6 inches tall. My saved seeds did best but I added some Mohawk that germinated. Unfortunately none of the N. Tobacum even germinated. So straight...

Hello! I'm starting this blog and hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it. As usual, I'm starting later than I should so I won't expect the best results. This is my third season growing tobacco. I've received a few new varieties through trade with a fellow user on another community so I'll...

I started about two weeks ago. After a scare with the mail, I finally got my seeds on 4/16. Put them in a tray right away: I’m growing two different cultivars: Virginia Gold and Kentucky 5, a burley. I used what I had on hand… an old seed tray and some miracle grow potting mix that I strained...

Hello everyone. This is the second time i am growing tobacco. My first attempt was semi successful. I managed to get some nice plants, but because lack of knowledge, i didnt know what to do with the leaves. Now my seeds for this project have arrived from tabak-pflanzen.de My goals and roadmap...

Well this is my first year giving this a shot and thought I’d let everyone see what I got going on. I’m not as sophisticated as some of y’all but I hope it goes good. I just transplanted for the first time it seemed straight forward enough I hope it goes well I also planted a few more so we’ll...
