These babies will stay in the trays they are in now until they are a little over an inch tall and then will be transferred into grow cups for a few weeks before going to the garden plot. If I remember correctly last year it was about two weeks before they reached the point of transplantation. The seedlings in the picture are probably pretty close to life size. Look hard as they are hard to see. I tried to blow them up but my camera just isn't made for taking pictures of microscopic things.
ok so i had been meaning to do some research on this topic myself...so if i may where do you get the seeds....i MUST have some tobacco to smoke while living the mtn life...and kudos on the plants....

ReplyDeleteWe live in New Mexico and have been trying to start tobacco seeds in a sunny south window. They are in peat pots with organic potting soil mix. After about 2 weeks, they did germinate, but have stayed tiny and aren't growing. We mist them 3 times a day. I have moved them outside on the porch with plastic covers over the seedlings part of the day to hold in moisture. Any tips on getting these things to grow?? Thanks.
ReplyDeletelast season they grew great for us, this season they are super slow to start. I myself dont know why we are having such an issue either. It is a very slow to start plant any way but this season is exceptional... I have upped mines nitrogen and they seem to be doing better but i dont know if that is just because they are finally taking off or because of more nitrogen
