This is my first time growing tobacco and my first post to this forum. I bought live tobacco plants from a vendor on Ebay. They were delivered June 11. I bought potting soil from a local nursery and potted them right away. They are about to go into 5 gallon buckets this weekend. Here are some pictures that I took a few minutes ago. Turkish Samsun are in the black pots.
As you can see there is a problem with the leaves on the bottoms turning yellow and falling off. I'm thinking it is a nutrient problem. I have not fertilized them yet. Can anybody give me some pointers on how to fix this issue? You can also see I have supports on 2 of them because a storm came through here a couple days ago with 50+ mph gusts. Almost all of them were blown down but these two failed to pop back up. Stalks were not broken. What a remarkably resilient plant!
