FantomBadger's First Attempt at Tobacco

[FantomBadger]

Getting same late germination from the second tray.

I’ve put both in a tent underneath about 500 PPFD. In cell soil temp is at 24°c. Have a small fan blowing through and I’m leaving the tent open. I will check tonight how temps are affected.

Broadleaf is getting it’s first true leaves, just starting now.

I managed to get 2000 Olar seeds so going to plant those in about 2-3 weeks as well. Looking for 40 plants in total.

Do you plan to later use your grow chamber as a kiln?

I didn’t think of it, maybe I will. I am considering so other experiments within the tent as well.

I love that tent, should’ve gotten one a lot earlier. I am going to try and grow normal mushrooms as well.

Update, plants looking healthy. Nice strong, short and fat, seedlings. True leaves emerging with vigour. Struggling tray is coming along as well. They seem to do a lot better since being in the tent. No heating in the tent. I have an inline fan at the bottom pulling air from outside to inside. I’ll start circulating more air once they are bigger.

The other 6 cells are CGN 21500 chilies. It is essentially a “mild” habanero.

EDIT: really bad germination on the mapacho and burley rows.

I have a very similiar grow tent to yours. I germinate my seeds in there every year. I also cured some of my piloto in there last year and it cured quite nicely and faster than it normally would when air curing in my shed. I am also debating with the idea of using it as a fermentation kiln if my grow gets to big. They are a very versatile thing to have.

Below is a pic my piloto leaves in the tent last year

Color is well balanced. Good job sir.

The most and biggest seedlings I’ve ever had, so I am pretty pleased. I’ll try and sort out the crowded cells this weekend.

Fortunately I have enough emergence in my mixed tray to nit have to do another batch. I do want to do 48 cells of Olor when I get back.
