I was wondering if it is possible to force flower bacca plants by placing them in the dark for a couple days then bringing them back on their usual light schedule.

im unsure about that particular burley variety, but there are a few tobacco varieties (mammoths, Stewart Cuban, varieties with "NF" in their names) that are "short day" that require shorter day lengths in order to induce flowering. the days are a little longer in south florida still, but you also don't have any frost to worry about and its been a very quiet tropical season in the atlantic so as long as the plants are still alive I would just wait them out.

Its just the migrations that I've been seeing that has got me worried. Last time I saw them them last year it was much closer to December.
