Finally getting around to posting on this. Harvested a little over a week ago. Tons of seeds, little tobacco. I believe this plant may not be suitable for growing in containers. These plants went to seed within a couple of weeks after popping above ground. My theory is when the roots found the walls of the container it triggered the reproduce for survival response. One plant produced some leaves but over all this was a grow for seeds. I’ll try this plant outside next year.

BizzareLand I plan on growing some wicked Tobacco someday soon

BizzareLand You know how to find exotic strains?

. You inspired me and I finally started a tobacco grow since we spoke about it. You look into Connecticut Broadleaf? It’s supposed to be good for rolling leaves.

Since my last update; raised lights twice, trimmed, feed worm tea. These plants continue to amaze me, now I just need to learn about harvesting the seeds and the leaves. Also need to figure out why they went to seed so soon. Gallows Pole by Led Zeppelin, Can't You Hear Me Knocking by The Rolling Stones.

. This is dope. Will you be able to use the leafs to roll bud or does it smoke like regular tobacco?

johnnyg What I’ve read and been told, they dry the stuff for about two months, without humidifiers so the stuff is very dry. They then crumble the leafs and pull all the steams/veins leaving a powder that’s not too different from keif. When they smoke this for ceremony it’s not inhaled but most importantly the smoke lifts their prayers to the creator. I will dry most of it in this manner to give to the person that gave me the seeds. I will keep some for myself and will attempt to dry and cure as I do for my cannabis.

. Oh dang that’s really cool and inspiring, this makes me wanna try growing my own rolling leafs. Congratulations on the success and much more to come.
