Try spraying them with a solution of gypsum salts in water. I forget the proportion something like one or two tablespoons per gallon.

Nitrogen and possibly magnesium. Water with Epsom salts in water, 1/2 the recommended dosage, fish based fert also at 1/2. If that is not the problem, those dosages won't hurt anything, and if it is, you'll see a difference in a few days.

Could also be from over/under watering, Temperature, etc. A little more info would help

After 2 1/2 months, if it's just the lower/lowest leaves, they may just be getting ripe - pick um !

If its the bottom leaf its ripe if Its higher it mite be to wet.

What variety of tobacco is it?

All the leaves have a yellowish shade to them and the plant is too young, and leaves to small, to be mature. It is conn shade and havana 142 leaf. I was thinking it was magnesium, so spayed them with some epsom salt and water solution. We'll see what happens in a few days.

I will try cutting back the water too, thanks.

good idea, on cutting back the water,

just remember the saying > '' tobacco dont like wet feet ''

i rarely water my baccy,,, but im consatntlly watering the veggie's.

just keep a eye on the weather,

a morning with a lot of dew, is proablly all the moisture that plant will need for that day<

 

[CigarNews]

Probably over watering then. Thx.

Idea:

When posting question about a plant problem..... Send in a pic or 2 and a history of the plant and info like watering schedule.. fertilizer schedule to help us narrow down the cause...
I am the world's worst for seeing a problem and flying into the forum to ask for help...... Some problems can be quick developing and yes ,, the fellas here probably have seen it all and with adaquate info they can help pretty fast.

It's mostly for a source of Magnesium, The Sulfur needs to be available too.
