HOW TO GROW TOBACCO PART 2: Starting the seeds indoors

Tips, Tricks

1. Thank you so much! I am starting very, very small. But wanted to express my appreciation for your video. It was very informative and gave me the confidence to plant some of these little guys! Will keep you posted
2. My husband and I are considering growing tobacco. Do you do yours for profit?
3. I tried planting tobacco last year for the first time.. I planted Va' Gold and i used seed pods. But nothing worked out for me.. The info that i read on google said to fill the seed pod tray with water,, Place in a dark room and water twice per day... None of them germinated and was covered in mold... So i'm going to try it again this year.. I'm using regular plant cells filled with potting mix, Along with a heat light and spraying them twice per day... So far it has been 3 days.. I didn't cover my seeds with soil and they arel basically just lying on top of the soil... Should i cover them with soil or Is that a necessary?  
4. My first pot of Samsun seeds just sprouted yesterday! I planted my Virginia Gold and Kentucky Burley in seed trays last night. It's about 60 days till last frost. I hope I didn't start to early, but I was impatient.
5. what website would you suggest buying seeds from 
6. great presentation....well done and informative...thank you
7. Back in the days before highly mechanized farming people would broadcast tobacco seeds over a small area of dirt outdoors and cover the area with a white sheet help protect the seeds and prevent them from washing away. Once they had reached about 2" to 3" tall they would transplant the seedlings into rows in the field. These days even large commercial tobacco farms start the seeds indoors in huge floating beds (Styrofoam seed trays floating on water). You cover them with dirt but only about 1/4"
8. I'm a newb at this, haven't tried it yet, but I have ta say that covering the seeds with soil goes against everything I have been told, or read about germinating tobacco. It works for you apparently. Is this the best way, or just your personal preference? Nice little vid series.
9. Thank you. I store seeds in zip lock bags. I squeeze most of the air out prior to sealing and store them in a cool place (about 69 degrees or so). Some of the seeds I planted this year were 3 years old and they did just fine. Not sure how long you can make them last but if you grow every year just save seeds about every other year and you will have an endless supply.
10. ".... bag of seeds saved from a couple of years ago." Explain how you store the seeds and an estimate of how many years they will last if stored that way. I currently have twenty eight plants coming along just fine. It is my intention to grow and harvest those plants. When cured I will mix it with some tobacco bought from the internet. Stretches my smoking dollar a little farther :-) Thank You P.S. Looks like you have put together a nice video
11. Actually you can grow tobacco indoors. You just go from these small starter trays and instead of transplanting outside in 6 weeks you transfer your plants into small 8" pots and after about 6 more weeks in those pots you can transfer them into 5 gallon buckets (or the largest pots you can find. The larger the better). BUT the plants grown indoors will only be a little more than half the size of plants grown outside in the proper conditions
12. Nice vid :) I must ask Do you think i can grow tobacco in sweden ??
