I am a heavy cigg smoker and got a nic buzz for shure.
I would never smoke it straight again.
Nicotine buzz for sure, that's good to hear! Do you recall which variety of Rustica you smoked?

Hi Smokes ,
Naw , I never did sucker them Islas , was much caught up in a Rapture of some kind , used CalciumN in my waterbarrels last year too and had a tremendous exchange of that CN.
Now , when I sort of waken up from the rapture I leave no suckers or buds.
Do u use any manure in yer grow of some kind ?
Wow, That is nice to know smokestack! I use KOH some times when I remember. I gave Greg this to use and they are on the road to heaven with the FAST2GROW. 1 tsp. epsom salts, salpetre, baking pwder and 1/4 teaspoon amonia. The Bat Guano is to expensive here and the FAST2GROW has the same effect for My plants.This year 2014 is my third season growing tobacco. As a chemist, I made a high-nitrogen concoction from urea, ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate. I used it the first only year on some of my plants to see if it worked. I noticed that the leaves of the tobacco plants treated with this fertilizer turned dark green in 2 to 3 days. They also grew a little faster. Since I wanted my tobacco to be organic, I did not use any fertilizer the second season and I still got good results. This year I will use natural bat guano that my brother swears by. I have read that tobacco can quickly deplete the soil of its nutrients. This is what prompted me to use the bat guano, but I am not sure if it contains the necessary trace elements. I am still looking into it.

I am about to add the bat guano, but I am not sure how much to add to each plant. Even though bat guano is an organic fertilizer, I'm afraid that by adding too much will kill my plants. Adding to little will be an expensive waste.
One teaspoon in a gallon of water is what I've read about over here.
Let it stand/rest for 24 h.
The place I read this also says to repeat the fertilization 3-5 times in a season.
Never tried it myself so I can't say how to give the best treatment.
As the season progresses, I read that one should cease adding high nitrogen fertilizers. .
Tobacco has all the N and K it will use at bud time. Fertilizing after that is a waste. The high P guano would be good for big and pretty flowers but we don't care too much about that with tobacco.
I grew it three yrs ago and it was given to me with a seed order From eBay.
It just said Nicotiana Rustica I think. It grew like a bush, Small leaves and smelled like Cat Wee.
A real PITA Plant for the Yield.
The stuff PO and GrFinny
are growing looks like a winner.
I'm growing out Isleta Pueblo to refresh some seeds and some Mahorka 6 Yellow 109 to increase my number of seed. Rustica is a weird animal when you're growing it for the first time. I'm beginning to think that whatever Rustica can do, a Dark variety can do better. Of course, I have yet to smoke any Rustica, so I may change my mind later.
