Hi all,
first time posting.
i live in Australia and our prices for a packet of 40’s cost around $46 aus ($36USD).
Five months ago I decided to “try” grow my own tobacco with not much success.
I have little to no knowledge in regards to growing tobacco besides watching a few YouTube videos here and there. I ordered tn90lc seeds which I was told would be a good tobacco for cigarettes???? The seeds germinated in about 3 weeks but never really took off. Five months later and they only ever grew to about 2 inches and I noticed the leaves where going yellow, so I purchased some tomato fertiliser and within 2-3 days they had just died.
I have so many questions but never had solid answers, maybe someone could help?
1) Is cigarette tobacco just one type of tobacco, or is it a combination of different tobaccos?
2) What is a good cigarette tobacco that is the strength of a 10-12 mg?
3) What sort of soil should I be using and what do I need to lookout for?
4) When should I be adding fertilisers and what type?
5) What size should they “roughly” be after 5 months?
6) At what size should I be planting them into bigger pot plants?
7) Water using a spray bottle or put them into a tray and let the water soak up?
8) Should I be using some sort of grow light? If so what type?
I know I’ve asked a lot of question but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jason
