Dude, why not just pluck the flower head itself? It seems you plucked off some good leaves. Those top leaves are the best ones on the plant.
I love growing tobacco I've got a couple 7'ers right now this is the first year I'm going to cure and smoke my own thx bud !!!!
Yes this fall I will be giving away seeds!
Professional tobacco growers been doing it that way for years I learned from them!
In Kentucky we cut the stalks with the leaves still on the plant. Hang them upside down on a stick in the barn. Harvest September and strip the leaves off in November when they have turned brown.
Thanks Larry; just got my first Virginia Gold, Burley, and Light to sprout, so watching all your videos.
Awesome!
Thanks very much Larry from Minnesota . John from Saskatchewan , Canada thanks you for great knowledge I'll keep an eye out for more!
We use to grow around 30 acres and we topped it when it bloomed just take your pocket knife and cut right below the first small leaves those stalk are small a well grown plant should be head high after topped I still plant about an acre just for us here at home you have a great set up except for the wood mulch if you can find a dairy farm close and get some bad or molded corn silage we speed ours on the fields but tobbacco loves it fresh wood chips have acid and tannins that stunt the growth I do use wood mulch around my potatoe plants never have potato Beatle problems I fertilize my tobacco with manure before I work the ground
I will have seeds this fall! I will post a video then! Thanks!
WOW! Looks great Larry. :-)
You are welcome!
I love your videos Larry this helps me this is first year I got tobacco plants growing :)
Below this video is a link to harvesting and curing your tobacco!
Topping spongy stemmed plants does very little to shock it and I bet the same day it got topped the leaves grew tremendously. Woody stemmed plants tend to shock or focus energy on repairing themselves I can see where you are coming from friend :) Cheers eh!
After breaking off the flower head the plant still grows!
Thanks for the vid! I am just getting started with growing my own tobacco so this was very helpful.
Fantastic! Glad I could help!
This year I left the stalks will cut off at ground level in the spring last year I pulled them out!
I saw a video saying you can plant the suckers and make new plants
Healthy looking plants
Yes, because you also want large leaves on that one also!!!
1st year as well. Just had 3 might keep the best one for seeds.
god bless you sir and your garden
Oh Yes!
go to how to grow tobacco dot com and they have a whole section on chewing tobacco this virginia gold is pretty mild for chewing tobacco
OK Thanks
Thanks
I will check it out! Thanks
My Pleasure!
Thanks for the great videos. I was born in MPLS and lived in Renville when young. My parents had a cabin on Green lake. Another friend had a cabin on Big Sandy. My Dad worked for John Deere all around Mn. I Miss the Walleye fishing. Now retired in Mexico and have 2000 foot of river front land and cigarettes are huge money around here. Most can only afford to buy one cigarette at a time. A friend stopped by yesterday and gave me a car load of tobacco plants he cut from a tobacco farm. I stuck them in the ground on my land hoping they might root and grow larger. They have the seed pods on them. I do not know what type of tobacco they are. I could save over 100 dollars a month growing my own and not have the chemicals, and could also sell all that I grow in a day around here. Do you still sell the seeds? Thanks again for the fantastic information.
Very informative Larry and straight to the point, it's like being taught by Edward G Robinson See, !!!
Lol
Thank you so much man!
When they turn brown I just cut the whole flower head off and put them in a cardboard box to fully dry
Dangit Larry! Why didn't you show me this video before I harvested? No wonder my leaves were no bigger than a football. Oh well. It's nearly year around planting down here in s.w. Bamma so back to work I go, lol. Thanks brah.
They look good tho just to small.
Thank you, Larry.
Thank you Larry 🐣👍🏾
You would get two or three versions some will be More like Rustica the others more like Virginia Gold and some half and half genetics. That is my guess... Also if one strain is more vigorous than the other it will most likely dominate in genetic disposition. All mix breeds will even out potency they should all be similar that way. Just another guess I breed plants that is the consistency I noticed.
Ok
close but not very big I have been able to go outsised allready this week frost broke in the SW ; ] so they are doing better
I would recommend using a product called "Sucker Plucker". Spray it down the stalk of each plant when you top the plants to control the growth of suckers. Then you shouldn't have to keep pulling suckers. That's one of my least favorite things to do.
I am Montagnard jarai tribe my mother smoke tobacco
When the plants are ready or the seed pods?
Hey Larry I have a question, what do you do when your growing season is over? Do you pull out the stalk and roots or do you just chop off the visible stalk? Thank you very much for making the videos and I'm thinking about growing tobacco this season!
How close are your lights?
Great!
great video learned a lot thanks
Thx😊
treat then just like you would a tomato plant!
“right here in Brainerd”
Hi Larry,
Thanks for the vid. Please don't send my tobacco seeds till the fall when you harvest. I want to plant next year. You have my self addressed envelope already. If you need another envelope let me know. Thanks Beverly Lacy
hi, Larry! does removing flower heads increase nicotine content in tobacco leaves?
go to how to grow tobacco dot com and learn how to keep them from cross pollinating!
If collecting leaves, best to let them grow, regrow a new plant, the only sucker is anyone removing them lol.. Those little leaves will take zero energy by time the large leaves are ready
Very helpful.thanks....
My sprouts are kinda stringy what do I need to make then stand up ? More light ? Wind ?
Okay, thanks.
Hi Larry! Do know if this is the same type of tobacco that can be used to make chewing or snuff type tabacco ? Thanks for another great video !
Larry, ... I have decided to start growing my own tobacco this year. I smoke a pipe, and am looking at trying a tobacco that is mild, and has an earthy flavor, and I see that you use Virginia. I was wondering what your opinion was on it compared to a Burley. I'm considering doing a blend but i'm worried about cross pollination. What are your thoughts?
I just guessed and bought shirey. Also wanted to do a blend but didnt have the ability. Currently growing it
OMG I joined that site years ago too LOL now to find my user name n such
Will you please give me a little advice on My 5 Virgina Glod plants..This is my first time doing this. What color are they suppost to be when harvesting the leaves?Light Yellow and no green? Also,what are you suppost to do to cure them? Hang to cure or Roll them to fement? Which is best for flavor?
This technique good for the native stuff too you think?
ok I found my old account "CanadianGrower" I joined in 2007 lol I made a post about Red Virginia and was directed tot he US seed bank even there no such thing. I think I have a breeders sample of seeds my seed bank always sends me rare or new stuff they love me lol
im growing tobacco and im putting them outside whats like the coldest temp the plant can handle with out dyeing
thanks great video
Hi Larry do you have tobacco seeds to sell or giveaway?
Larry I have some "Red Virginia" seeds , what sort of product does Red Virginia make? Cigars , Pipe Tobacco , chew or cigarettes? I searched all over and I can not find a Red Virginia strain or information on it sorry!
You don't save the leaves when you sucker the plant?
do they not cross pollinate? Should i keep different varieties apart... thanks
it is legal to grow your own tobacco in all 50 states!!!!!!
the seed pods
My plants already have seed pods, how do I know when they are ready?
Hi Larry, where do I send my self addressed envelope? would you like some of my Iranian tobacco seeds?
Could i have some Seeds To have a go at growing?
How do you ferment the tobacco?
Sorry don't know go to how to grow tobacco dot com tons of info
No not the tiny little suckers!
1st time grower here, my plants are only 10 inches tall and are producing flower pods already. what did i do wrong??
What state are you in.. tobacco likes good hot, dry, humid weather. The soil needs to be rich and dry. Moist ground causes thin leaves.Mine are over 5 foot tall and no flowers yet... I'm in Kentucky....
@@purpleflowers9387
Utah
Used potting mix from home depot, transplanted into 5 gal. Buckets with potting soil.
Try putting them in the ground next year and see what it does. U gotta use fertilizer with a lot of nitrogen... Try 15-10-10 fertilizer....the first number is nitrogen u want a high first number on fertilizer... Utah gets hot but low humidity. They need humidity.. and don't water your tobacco. Makes leafs thin... They like very very very little water, just humidity. Water only wen leafs look like their welting... I've been growing for 10 years. I got 60 plants this year... I gotta home made cigar business in the bluegrass.

Thanks for the info!!
You break off the suckers so all the energy goes to the leaves but what about the energy goes into healing where you broke the suckers off from? To me, it sounds contradictory. With other plants you want to keep all the leaves on unless they are prohibiting more leaves from getting sufficient light. The plant does have to mend itself, which takes energy. Please, take no offense, I'm just trying to learn.
Hi there, have the woodchips have a funtion? I just planted my tobacco 2 days ago and now the snails ate a lot of holes in my 3 to 4 inch plants.
woodchips stop weeds
is there any issue with ATF with growing your own tobacco? I dont smoke but tobacco has medicinal benefits....
Hello Larry. I am considering to grow tobacco and ordered some virginia tobacco organic heirloom seeds. I am little bit confused is it Virginia Gold and Virginia organic heirloom the same tobacco ?
+Robbi Kahiny the same
I'd like to try growing my own tobacco from seeds and wondered what site you would recommend me buying some from.
thetobaccoseed.com
how many cans of dip do you think you could get out of a tobacco plant.
2 plants make a pound? Thanks So Much For Watching The Video! See All My Most Popular Video's By Category On Pinterest! www.pinterest.com/larryhall50/boards/
Hi Larry sent you a inbox message need some of your expert advice
Your breaking off half your plant along with some of the immature Seco leaves . That's not how you top a tobacco plant.
Your in the wrong state for tobacco. Yours are small. Your not topping rite either.. I'm from Kentucky. Kentucky is tobacco capital. Good tobacco leafs are 4 times that big. Good video tho lol
This got to be some kind of joke …the plant not gonna make better high quality leafs they just gonna be a little bit bigger 😭😭😭😭😭that’s not a good teaching to pick off the tops of the plant
Thanks
OK
thanks
