Okay here I go, taking a stab at growing my own tobacco and very first blog.
Feel free to comment on anything that I may be doing right or wrong , especially if I'm going down the wrong path.
I started germinating my seeds tonight with the hope of being able to transplant outside Mid to end of May which will give me a 75-90 day growing season and 30-45 days of good curing weather.
My plan is to grow 12 or so plants for cigar tobacco and grow them in 5G or bigger buckets.
I went through my seed a few days ago and was missing a bunch of seed packets and only had the Jalapa, Olor, Scantic seeds so those would have to do but then half way through spreading the Jalapa I noticed that I had some unnamed Havana seeds which I remember being told was good producer so I seeded some of those as well. I also later found the rest of my seeds which I thought I lost (PA Red, Swarr,Havan K1, Mass ck1, P.A Broadleaf) .. (I'm not very organized I guess). Anyway .. I just seeded the first 4 and on my way to growing 4 Jalapa, 2 Scantic, 3 Olor , 3 Havana plants. Now I'm wondering if I should toss some of my choices out since I didn't really do much reading about those.
Should I reconsider some of my choices or just go with what I just seeded ?
Used potting mix and small containers, watered them, sprinkled the seeds, sprayed them using a water bottle, covered them up in Saran wrap.
More pics, more details to come.
Thanks
