Growing Tobacco Pt. 1: Germinating Tobacco Seeds

Рет қаралды 151,394

Күн бұрын

Growing tobacco is easy... once you learn the deal with germinating tobacco seeds. Planting tobacco seeds is a little different, since tobacco seeds are tiny. They also like some light to germinate, which makes the risk of them drying out high. If tobacco seeds sprout, then dry out, you're not going to grow tobacco! Once the tobacco plants get bigger, they're really easy. Today I show you how I'm growing tobacco and germinating tobacco seeds in my little nursery area. More videos to come on homegrown tobacco - stay tuned.

thankyou! I had just recieved my tobacco seeds from" Aliexpress ", and was wondering how to grow..My dear husband smokes a little but the costs of cigarettes is sky high in Puerto Rico, like everything else...and getting worse by the second, but that is another story. I am now the proud owner of two of your E-books on my Kindle! (grow or die: the good guide to survival) and ( the survival gardeners guide to growing tobacco, barter,...) anyway I love your videos first for your sense of humor, second with things getting so expensive, you have helped me be more self sustainable here in the tropics, say hi to your lovely wife, and again thank you.

I absolutely love your videos and books! Do you have a video you can link me to about seed starting in general? I'd love to see information that takes me all the way through the process - from seed in the dirt to transplanted outside. Especially for some of the more difficult type seeds like sea buckthorn or hops. I have decent luck germinating overall, but my seedlings always seem to die before they go outside, or the ones that live never grow and don't do much but stay tiny. Thanks for all you do and keep up the fantastic work!

you can turn it into medicine if you know how medicine works. Smoking anything period causes toxifying of the body, so if permanent detoxification of tobacco tar is your goal, you'll just have to find somehow to make the tobacco medicine formula from someone who knows how to ferment the tobacco juice and put about a tsp of it in a drink or like a shot every day for about 9 months. just keep doing a tsp a day for 9 months.

@igorpadurjan5714 5 жыл бұрын

Hi David, i am in a bit of a predicament as i want to plant a little patch of tobacco in my yard next year. I have 2 possible areas where i can do this. The first area is constantly exposed to full sunlight which scorches the ground, as well as there being literal tons of coal on the soil over the years and its completely black and quite hard soil. The next spot is under some fruit trees, constantly covered by the trees and has very little sunlight over the day, the soil being soft-ish and suitable for planting. I know that both of the locations arent ideal so i would like to ask you where would it be better to plant it?

@davidthegood 5 жыл бұрын

Is it possible to throw together some quick raised beds on the sunny area and go up with your soil? The sun is definitely better than the shade.

@igorpadurjan5714 5 жыл бұрын

You're right, i forgot i could try and do that. The sun is extremely intense there though, i could even say scorching, wouldnt it kind of fry my plants if i put them there? I am also wondering which type of soil would be good, every video on growing tobacco i've seen notes to use a branded soil such as miracle grow, however i do not live in the us and i dont have a very big choice of soil and the soil i have in the yard is not particularly good for plants, so i would appreciate if you could write me up a rough description of what soil i should use. I was wondering too, is it really worth growing 3 different types of tobacco for cigars? My problem with it is that i have to order 3 different types of seeds and there always ends up being leftovers. Thanks for the help and the fast reply

Both prevailed under an Evergreen Tree till Sept... I was blown away... It gets cold and dewy at night till 6am so if I keep them outside in a shady area and bring them in at night where its warm in the shop, shouldnt work great?
