Tobacco Plants

Hey,

 

Just curious if anyone here grows tobacco. Am looking at ordering some virgina gold #1 but just want to see if there were any recommended plants from you guys before ordering.

 

Cheers

Hi Pot head,

 

I grew tabacco a few years back. It is a big plant and fun to grow. The first time I grew it I didn't prune it right, so it was not good. The second time I did things better and got the final product, but it smoked like shit. I added rum and vanilla for flavouring, but still I could not smoke it. It was a virgina tabacco but not sure of the name. I'll have to plant more next year so as to keep the seeds viable.

 

Sorry I can't help more.

what you grow yourself and what you buy from a store - two entirely different things... well... same plant, but its a hell of an effort to process into a smokeable shred.

Yeah cheers guys.

I've been looking into since the tax hike on cigs a while back. Does look like a drawn out process drying and curing but after a few grows should have something smokable. A mate use to get home grown wasn't too bad. Yeah Stonedaj69 thats the reason i want to give my own plants a crack. I'll just skip the soaking in chemicals part

heh yeah 9 months of curing i grew some this season got 5 lots of flowers and tens of thousands of seeds off them and now making some pest spray Would love to get my hands on some N. Rustica for next time round would make a nice additive to some of my smokable blends
