I would love too help fill the bank up just tell me what you need me to grow. I don't have any seed but would grow what you want if you send it. And let them all go to flower stage and send them in.

I recieved for grow out;

Stamm 161 cigar filler TI 379 PI 405520

Dawma cigar filler TI 170 PI 405007

Forchheimer Cigar filler TI 1486 PI 405680

Katsuyama cigar filler TI 163 PI 405000

I have tried the Katsuyama and realy liked it. The others are unfamiliar to me.

My grow out failed miserably. 3 of the varietys were so stunted I only bagged one plant of the 4 varietys. It was the only plant that made it so I will plant again next year to see what results I achieve before sending seeds. The Katsuyama may make a debut next year.
I tried but will have to do better next time.

I have, next to the old slave quarters, and old atom bomb proof (or rat proof anyway) seed vault. Perhaps it could be put to use for you guys.

It might be a way to convince my wife and sister that seed vaults are not for storing blasted Christmas decorations.

The county, who has no sense of humor, would fine me $20,000 if I burn the decorations in a brush burn pile. Then again, the wife might toss me on the pyre too.

Howdy BarG,

No worries! We can only do our best and hope and pray things work out for the best. I had about the same results with my 2 varieties that I got for grow-out. The Long Red didn't even sprout and I ended-up buying some seed from seedman. As far the other variety - No. 3732, I had 3 seeds sprout and all but one could be bagged. The other 2 are just too scrawny and under-developed to be of any value. I will re-grow it out next year and hope for a lot better results. The best laid plans of Mice and Men!
