Roller in Training
I bought some seeds and leaped before I looked.
So starts my 2016 grow blog.
I did purchase some seeds first. Just some generic stuff. Figured it would be fun as I've been learning to roll cigars. Then, and only then, did I look into what needed to be done to process the leaves. Holy heck. I had no idea they would actually be so much work. I quickly tossed out the idea from my head. Forget it.
But still the idea lingered.
I purchased some seeds for a suggested seller. Connecticut BL, Cuban Criollo 98, Cuban Habano 2000
Hoping those were the better purchases. Living in New England the summers are short so I needed to stick with the faster maturing tobacco.
Last night I started the seeds:
Today is officially Day 1
They are currently inside and on a heat mat (one I used to start my garden last year). I also have a light ready but not on yet. I sowed far more than I plan on using/keeping but we'll see what happens when they start sprouting. The end game is probably going to keep them in 5 gallon pots. I was thinking of finding room in my garden, and I still might plant a few in there to see how they take, but this year I might just keep them potted to put some in different spots (shade vs sun) and see the differences (aka experiment) in how they grow.
