...In the heat here I'm noticing this year for out door (Ive only grown indoors before) that shade, with foggers every hour for 2 minutes during the 2pm - 5pm period is saving serious wilting.

During my growing season, it gets to 35 C with full Sun. I get some wilting, but it gets better overnight. It doesn't seem to hurt anything.

I'd say most growers over here probably grows Alida tobacco , but you can grow any variety u want ''over here'' I guess depending on where in Sweden you live.
Sweden is a elongated country , like 400 km wide x 2000 long ) and the further up north u come the more problems you'll have , because of the light + frost u get.
Here in the southernwest parts where I live growing comes easier to us.
I am looking at growin' 15 different varieties this year in 2 allotments that is 10x10 meters each = 200 sq.meters
