I have found a few of these growing wild around here, it looks very similar to the "rustic" I am growing , with seed I bought. I opened the seed pods, where they have been flowering, and the seeds are a little smaller, but look exactly like the other types of tobacco seed I have.
Another one of the guys here at work, where I found these, showed me, to break the "suckers" off, and he said doing that will make the leaves grow larger, he used to work in some commercial tobacco fields in Kentucky, said that was part of their job, to "prune", breaking off the branches or "suckers", he also commented that when the plants I planted start growing these "suckers", I will need to do the same, or my plants will end up looking like these, not much big leaves. He also commented that in some fields, nearby here, there are a lot of this kind of plant, growing wild, but he does also think maybe it is tobacco. What do you guys think, if not tobacco, I am curious what it is.
