G'day everyone.
I'm a complete novice to growing & have a few questions.
My Burley plants are in 30 liter pots. Planting was staggered so that they don't all need to be harvested at once.
The most advanced plant is now 6' tall. As I need to be discrete, I broke off the flower/seed pods to keep them from growing too high.
- Will that in anyway affect the final product?
After 35 years of smoking tailor-made cigarettes, I switched to a pipe around ten years ago. The blends that I choose are low in nicotine, so now I'm a bit of a light-weight when it comes to nicotine tolerance.
- Is there any technique during growing or when one harvests to keep nicotine levels at the lowest possible level, or is that something that's done after harvest?
I've got a pot from last year that sprouted a heap of seedlings. It's really crowded. Although they look rather healthy at around 8 inches tall, I can't imagine them growing much taller or remaining healthy for too long.
- Are the leaves from these seedlings good for anything? IOW, is it worth harvesting the leaves that start to change colour [atm the older leaves are turning to a light green] to dry, cure & add to blends?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
