Growing Tobacco - Part 1
Tips, Tricks
This is the first stage in growing some tobacco for pipe smoking. The seeds were planted on top of the soil about 2 weeks ago. The soil was kept moist and under a light for about 16 hours a day. After about a week they started sprouting and are now growing a little bigger. Once the leaves are about the size of a dime I will transplant them in there own containers to be allowed to grow up to a foot or so tall until they can be planted outside. Keep watching as I will add more videos later on this project. Please Rate and Subscribe. -- TMFA

Hey. I just bought a "grow your own tobacco" kit in a little tin. I live in england and was just wondering if these will grow on my window ledge if I plant them now? (winter) or shall I wait until spring? thanks.

how you cure

@tatomuck18 Why? If you ask 'why', you obviously don't get the point of growing things yourself. Growing tobacco is one of the 'freedoms' we still have. So why not?
-
@tatomuck18 I then know that there are not additives or pesticides used on the product. I am grow this for pipe smoking and want to know what I am smoking. Plus I like to produce my own things just like we also have a garden that produces all of our food.
-
why do you need to go through all this work and time just to smoke? Its easier to just buy the tobacco from the store already made from the still in a few minutes instead of wating months like this..

@jamil1985 It was Shirazi tobacco. I would make a homemade curing chamber. After you cure it then case it with your flavor and press it. Slice to your desired size and enjoy smoking it. Good Luck.

@Notagayname12 I kept mine inside until about a week ago. Then they went outdoors to harden off and just stayed out constantly. They started growing much better after they went outside. I am using SPHAGNUM PEAT MOSS mixed with vermiculite. Be sure to fertilize it with some sort of organic fertilizer. Since I am smoking this plant I do not want any nasty chemicals, so everything is organic. That is why I do not use potting soil, because it is not recommend for plants that will get consumed.

@jkozar1 Search Google for "Tobacco Seeds" and it will pull up about 8 suppliers. I forgot exactly where I got these seeds though. I got in trouble for listing companies last time on here, so that is all I will say about that.

@GrizzPaul My pipe tobacco comes for a shop in Anchorage, and comes via 2 ounce packages. The tax is included so I don't know how much was tax or tobacco.

@azza7717 If you have a curing chamber it can be done to perfection in 3-4 weeks.
