How to rainmax grow 2013

Grow log

This year I will grow 23 sorts of tobacco for smoking and preserving seeds. That’s mean I need at least 23 bags.



I start seedlings on 11[SUP]th[/SUP] of March at 00.00 and today it looks like all plants started. Some sooner (Havana 425, Mutki, Havana 38, VA Bright, CT Shade, Xanthi Yaka 18a, FL Sumatra), some latter (Black Mammoth, Wisconsin seedleaf, Dark Virginia, Comstock Spanish, Pa Red, Samsun Maden, Maryland 609, Burley, Guacharo, Little Critenden) and some even today (Harrow velvet, Dixie Shade, Moonlight, Pa Broadleaf). Today means, that seeds are only broken and not fully opened yet.
At some seeds I find very bad germination rate les than 25% (Samsun Maden
and Pa Red), just opposite more than 80% was (Maryland 609, Havana 425, Xanthi Yaka, Comstock Spanish).

Days needed for germinate:



I also need to say that after 3 days both sorts of Prilep seeds break. Not as fast as Mutki, but I could tell you something more about that tomorrow.
Thats for start.

Yeah I know. Lots of work. I'm not shore what Im gonna do when summer vacation approach. Usually we go for quite a long time to cost.

Good luck on your grow Maks.

Thanks. As you see probably I write Your PA Red in the list and make ??? sign next to it. Can you confirm, that it goes for that seeds PA Red (Ohio)? Or is it something different. I take data from Ars Grin. Where those seeds come from? Pedigree,..
Germination was very bad. I hope for some more sprouts.

I think I'll come sooner to America than you guys to Europe. I have been there once.

BTW I need to start with Prilep once more. When I was out there Children was playing football probably, cause I found Prilep under the window. Smashed.
Trying to rescue what can be rescued.

Hey Maks, if you do come to America and plan to visit Alabama ( the land of Knucklehead) make sure you know what the music to the movie "Deliverance" sounds like... if you hear it... run!
