New Grow: Tobacco, “Havana”
Tobacco?
This idiot’s growing Tobacco?
He must be some redneck.
About a week ago, I ordered a full growing kit that included tobacco seeds from the wonderful SurfMonkeyCoconut on Ebay.
For a whopping $5 (And the guy even shipped it across the country for free.) I got:
500 ct. Havana Seeds
1 Instruction booklet
20 Big pots
10 Starter pots
20 Marker sticks
You can’t beat that with a stick folks.

So, kudos given, onto the plant!
These seeds are TINY.
I’m using the Jiffy potting soil again for this one, because of the success I’ve had with the Mesclun in it.
But this time, I got smart, and instead of trying to mix the soil and water together in the pots, I decided to put it in a bag and mix them that way, to make less of a mess.
It was a pain, but I got the soil nice and moist, and packed it into the starter tray.
Once that was done, I took a piece of paper and poured some of the extremely small seeds out onto it.
Then I just dipped my finger in a little water, and pressed into the seeds to pick them up and gently rest them on the soil.
A quick closeup of how I laid the seeds. (Yes, I know the camera sucks, I’m working on procuring a new, better one.)
Then it was time for a quick wrap in foil.
And procuring and filling a tray with water to act as a moisturizer.
And voila. We’re done!
