How does yellow 109 do?
Yields are less than half what Lemonka will give you.
Nicotine seems the same. Flavor is the same- mild tobacco, no throat hit.
I won’t be replanting Yellow-109.
The soil for the above plants was heavily watered with full strength triple-20 fertilizer.
Then only water, once a week after that.
Cared for by a family member known for their “black thumb”.
The window faces almost exactly west (269deg.), so only setting sun.
I know it is not de rigueur for orientals, but I topped them on April 26th. They simply have no more space.
I will harvest the Basma in 2+ weeks, depending on how the leaf looks. I’m hoping to get the Prilep to yellow on the stalk, as I’ve read a post or two that this made for super sweet smoking leaf, but with little varietal flavor. Sweetness is the goal, since I have Xanthi and normal Prilep, already, and no flue curing system.

Was that grown inside in front of the window? That's a beautiful indoor container plant.
Yes, it was. The window faces west- setting sun only. The seedlings were started under display cabinet led lights during winter, just to have something to do.
The
Potting soil and perlite was watered once with full strength triple-20 fertilizer, then just water, once a week. That’s it.
