My attempt to grow tobacco

I bought some Cuban tobacco seeds from this site (Cuban Havana Tobacco Seeds) and I thought I would give them a try. I am growing them in my dorm to make my room look more lively. I don't expect them to grow too big because it is going to be winter and I am in the middle of Boston. I would like to get a few wrappers out of this plant because I expect it to grow like it would in the shade. I am not sure of the humidity in my room but we keep the temperature around 70 degrees and it sits next to the window where it can get sunlight. I have read a lot from the tobacco birthing thread, but I was still wondering if there is any advice that would help me make a nice tobacco plant.

Re: My attempt to grow tobacco

Somehow, this brings back memories of Carlin's Toledo Window Box. For us old-timers here anyways! You may want to reconsider growing that thing in the window. Sooner or later, some idiot is going to report ya'll for illicit plants!

Hum, Boston Dorm Shade Wrapper.... Beantown Window Shade!! HaHa, good luck.

Wow, how funny!

I just had a smoke by that statue the other day. Onyx Reserve.

You go to Suffolk, then?

Good luck on your stash. Suffolk is a great school, friend of mine went to law school there.

Cheers,

Re: My attempt to grow tobacco

Pretty cool! It's so amazing how tiny they start off and how huge they grow.

If I could get my hands on some seeds I'd definitely plant them in my back yard, my fathers soil here is very fertile. He grew a grapvine a few years ago, and the grapes taste VERY sweet, better than anything from the fruit market.

Hey,
tzaddi (Richard) is being very generous and sending me some seeds to help me get started. I am sure there will be more than I need so I will be willing to pass some on along to you. This thread and his thread got me thinking about growing my own the past few days. Thanks GJProductions for the inspiration, it lead me to reading all 30 pages of tzaddi's thread.

BTW Cichlids are awesome I just can't justify starting a third tank for them. Right now I have a dwarf puffer tank and a shrimp tank going. A cichlid would happily destroy both tanks.

Re: My attempt to grow tobacco

Didnt those bastards at the school include Tobacco growing information in "The Guide to Residence Life" near your plant bucket?

WTF are you paying good money to go to school for anyway.
That is the least can teach you.

LOL

Good Luck bro
