My boss bought a 4 foot fixture and is growing Tomato's and peppers and some other stuff
I sent him a picture of my set up and he is going to build me a fixture stand from aluminum
I made mine from wood scraps that were laying around the house.
How long ago did you start those chicken ?
Mine are at 7 days in a closed jar then put in the Peat Moss pads yesterday.

Edit For Spelling

 

[dkh2]

This was from Big Bonners method to sprout seeds
A little Peat Moss in a little plastic jar
and a dozen seeds to try it out

dkh2,

Ky16 - Burley Mammoth - North Carolina
I also have KY16 Big White Burley 1951 but have had no luck germinating this one so far.

Tekwyzrd is sending me some really old "white burley KY 16" to try and germinate.

These 1951 seeds, I believe, are the "Big White Burley KY16" seeds that FmGrowit sent to me. I'm on method 5, attempting to germinate them, so far without success. There are apparently newer stocks of KY16, though there is some debate as to whether it is the same variety as the older batch.

So far as I can determine, no-one has successfully germinated the 1951 KY16, but it may be a pointless exercise if the KY16 you are growing is the same thing.

Purely to germinate rare seeds how about getting a length of cloth and setting up a wick system to a couple seeds at a time. Should keep it moist without soaking it too much

 

[dkh2]

These are still in the USDA little packet it just says "Burley Mammoth KY16" TC 12 PT552600

NPGS/GRIN Accessions has no record of them now

 

[dkh2]

Here is the packet they came in.

 

[deluxestogie]

Here's the detail on ARS-GRIN: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1447572. It's a 7' plant.

For searching a known PI or TI number, this page is useful: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_site_acc.pl?TOB Nicotiana tabacum

It's a 7' plant.

Where does it mention that ?

 

[deluxestogie]

On the detail page, click on Observations (near the bottom). PLTHGTTOP is the height in cm of topped plants. (If you hover over the "descriptor" abbreviation, it will pop a tooltip that explains its meaning.) I confess having to use http://www.onlineconversion.com to convert the units to inches or feet.

[dkh2]

I can't find it at all I looked all over PLTHGTTOP
so you saw a height of 177.8 cm's or 7 feet ?

Fantastic plants this early in season. Way to go Chicken.

 

[dkh2]

Wait a minute is this what your talking about ?.
http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/ob2_acc.pl?81003+207.72000000000002728+238.29000000000002046

TOBACCO accessions with values between 208 and 238 for PLTHGTTOP
according to that it's saying 8.2 foot to 9.4 feet

Is that saying 208 CM's to 238 CM's

 

[dkh2]

Yes Chicken pretty cool those look like my version of phase 2

 

[deluxestogie]

On this page: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/obs.pl?1447572
"Observations for accession PI 552600"
It lists the PLTHGTTOP = 215 (which is in cm) = 84.6 in. = 7.05 ft.

We must be looking at different pages.

Bob

 

[dkh2]

Oooohhhhh
duh
ok

 

[dkh2]

2.54 Centimeters to an inch
208 to 238 = 6.8 foot to 7.8 foot
Sounds like how tall my Green Brior Burley gets or an average of 7 foot two inches
Now what does your research say about Leaf Size ?
