Growing Tobacco Part 1 - Starting your seeds

Tips, Tricks

1. Hi there. I know this video is a few years old. Just wanted to say thank you. I'll be starting tobacco seeds here in SW Florida for the very first time. I've purchased 14 different heirloom varieties, so I just hope to grow a few plants for pollination/trap plants... Appreciate this information you've shared. Hope all is well.
2. hi sir do you sale your tobacco seed how much let me know www.glennpoolboy@gmail.com
3. love the video. I read they need to be between 70-80 °f . I have a heat bulb and a uv bulb at 75°f. should I just use the uv light or are they okay?
4. Planted my Onieda seeds as you instructed and THEY SPROUTED! I was so excited I could not contain myself. I have many other veggie starts that came up also but these are brand new for me so I was overjoyed by the tiny green sprouts.
   
   What does Onieda tobacco need to grow sucessfully? Is it pretty much the same as other tobacco varieties? I live in CT and there is snow on the ground right now.

5. I had no idea the tobacco seed was so small, also learned not to cover seed with soil, I definitely would made that mistake.

12. been a while doc. ozzie bob with another problem. all plants are growing well, some to well. have 6 of my first starts going to seed now, but they are only 14 inches tall but are 5 months old. 7 or 8 big leaves,10 in x 6 in wide. should I nip off seed pods ?. or let them go to flower ?.
13. thank you doc.
14. Seeds will keep for many years if kept dry. You should be able to harvest your own seeds from the plants you are growing now. But one source of seeds can be found on ebay.

I have grown this lot in 3 different soils and get the same results. I need some new seeds. can you steer me in the right direction doc ?. thank you for your time.
16. Maybe two weeks sometimes three if they are slow starting. When the reach about quarter inch in height is when I do my first thinning.
