I folks I wonder if any one has any info or understanding of why this is happening, I have grow Moldavian-456 among others this year and a strange thing seems to be happening.
The flower buds develop and just drop off before opening, don’t get me wrong I have had seed from these plants and the tobacco is great but its driving me mad, I grew some plants outside and 90 per sent of the flowers dropped so I have grown some in doors under lights and tried different techniques to see if I could stop the problem, some with lots of watering, some less, some very little, some with feed and some without, all plants have grown to maturity and look very similar in size color etc, but all seem to drop most of there buds.
I have never seen this happen in any strain I have grow before I wonder if it is a genetic problem.
