Tobacco is beautiful. They make pink trumpet shaped flowers. Let them thin naturally. The strong survive. I have 3rd generation seeds. They just get cooler and stronger. Aphids love them, sadly, so spray with honey-water after they get big.
Love the video! Very helpful! My grandson ordered tobacco seeds and I’ve never seen such tiny seeds! We planted and covered with plastic and WALA they’re growing! Thanks so much!😊🌱
Good thing we saved a bunch of those trays with clear plastic domes that can be taped down - unless we get some hurricane force winds all the seeds should be moist and happy
Glad for the tobacco update and my daily dose of David the Good laughter. Have a good day and take care if yourself. Did you think no one would notice the bandage on your finger? lol
I don't smoke anymore either David but your reasoning for growing it sounds logical if you can store it where it will stay fresh for extended periods of time. A guy told me years ago that the tobacco a person grows at home does not tastes as good as commercially produced tobacco.
The tobacco at least in cigar industry is the same as home grown tobacco except there is a extra process after curing call fermenting which is done in different ways but usually high humidity and high heat and gets rid of bitter and harshness in tobacco which gives you a great tasting natural tobacco.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I was given tobacco seeds as a gift with little to know idea on how to grow them or even start. So I so appreciate this so so much. I'm excited to start! 😁
Mine just sprouted up thanks for the tips did everything you said. I just didn't use piss water lol thanks didn't want my dog pissing on my seedlings lol
Hi. I'm on my second seedling trial. Both times seedlings sprouted and started growing ok initially. But after one or two weeks the leaves start whitening until eventually all seedlings die. The water pH in my area is quite high (7.5 - 8.5). Not sure if this could be a reason or maybe something else. Any ideas ?
Glad to come across your videos. I have my tobacco sprouted but now I need to separate it and pot it up but I can't find a video on how to do that. Wondering if I just proceed as normal and will their roots withstand that transplant or do you have some other advice?
great video man, got my sub. just started germinating some havana tobacco seeds. nothing beats a simple hand rolled cigarello at the end of the day. is there a part three?
Ive got some burley tn90 sprouts that came up recently. Theyve been in a covered seed starting tray sitting in the sun. Kept wet, but they are starting to lose their vibrant green color. Should i take off the cover and water more often to keep damp and keep them in the sun, or bring them inside under a grow ligbt, I stupidly started them in 100% peat not thinking. Its ph neutral, but i hope that hasnt doomed them
Love your channel and the updates! where do you get seeds for tobacco? BTW, I refer to that item you pulled from the left side of the tray as a UPM, my abbreviation for undesirable plant material...😉
UPM! That works! In the US I got tobacco seed from The Victory Seed Company. Here, a gardener I met had some growing wild in his yard and gave me a handful of seed pods.
Wow! Urine for fertilizer? I grew some tobacco years ago for a show garden, I recently started growing it and have some seedlings, growing in the corner of my living room for personnel use, sharing the love from my pet cannabis plant's grow lights... They're doing well and it's like hitting two birds with one stone... Urine! I learn something new everyday! Love your vids! What urine to water ratio do you use? Definitely gonna try it.
I still favor the "Biscuit" song! Hey I was perusing the interwebs and ran across an interesting find which mentioned the "Paradise tree" and the Soursop when it comes to claimed medical uses what do you know about this Paradise tree and could it be grown in Northeast Florida? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi David, thanks for the video,its the most simple and comprehensive video i have seen. But a question I have is this,When you say adding urine as a source of fertilzer for the plant, do you mean human urine or animal urine?. Thanks
Hey David, thanks for the helpful advice, got any tips for transplanting the seedlings? I followed your instructions and successfully germinated some seedlings which are now big enough to be transplanted, I just don't know how to go about doing it, they're so tiny that it seems my normal transplanting methods will not apply to tobacco. Thanks in advance!
Hello DtG! Gotta say, I enjoyed your vids. Can't say as much for some of the comments below. (Rolling eyes).... As a writer muhself who has made a couple of vids to sell my books, I hope your strategery helped. 89 reviews when I visited (not too shabby) and I'll prolly pounce for the book. I have to ask... and you aren't bound to tell, which you may very well do in your book... Could you give me a suggestion for a couple of varieties that would blend together well for chewing tobacco as well as pipe tobacco? Total neophyte here with a saved link to a catalog True Leaf Market...which has a ton of seeds...and I'd love to not have to guess. Smoked for most of my life. Went the inhaler route and back to Grizzly. No interest in smoking any more...but it occurred to me the other day, as you so spiffily mentioned in your opening piece that having pipe tobacco handy in the 'pocalypse is a dandy edge....and growing stuff is one skill I got. Can you help a poor pilgrim? Thankee!
@@davidthegood Well, that's a start. Not so many wild tobaccer plants here in Alabama. Lots of Magnolia leaves, but around here one must go to the general store for tobacco seeds. Good to hear from you...and thanks for the growing tutorial. Just a fancier way of growing tomaters. Got that covered now that I understand. You the man!
Victory Seed Company has a bunch of different varieties that you can order online. I think they're based in oregon. It took less than a week for my seeds to arrive and I live in AZ
Not smoking your one mate You pissed on it lol Okay I Will try to use a bit of urine in this spray I realise now why I couldn’t grow before and yet in a place called Tenerife and not Thailand where I am now I grew tobacco without even trying to do all of these things But somehow in Thailand it didn’t turn out right so I’m going to follow your voice and use the clingfilm
Just planted mine yesterday, covered with plastic, & today the dirt is stuck to the plastic. Aagh! Ok, minor setback, scraped it off, respray, we will see.
interesting to know! look forward to videos of this 2-3 months from now to see how far they've come. By the way, what are your thoughts on growing clemson okra? I don't think you've tried that yet there in the tropics? Unless you have but there's no video of it ?

Aha! www.castaliahouse.com/
Grew fabulous tobacco last year following your videos
That is great, thank you
Thanks for the video. My seeds seemed to have germinated nicely. I have about 200 more plants than needed. Burley and Black Sea.
Good work, Kevin.
Tobacco is beautiful. They make pink trumpet shaped flowers. Let them thin naturally. The strong survive. I have 3rd generation seeds. They just get cooler and stronger. Aphids love them, sadly, so spray with honey-water after they get big.
There’s ornamental tobacco too. I going to grow it around birdbath, your vids have helped with starting the seeds 👍
David reminds me of McLovin
Love the video! Very helpful! My grandson ordered tobacco seeds and I’ve never seen such tiny seeds! We planted and covered with plastic and WALA they’re growing! Thanks so much!😊🌱
😂 WALA!

Urine is like Brawndo, "It's got what plants crave".
It's got electrolytes.
I still smoke at 60
$85 for 39 grams here in nz
Thank you for sharing this mate
My seedlings are small too. Ornamental variety. I water them with a nozzle fogger - it's perfect!!
loving your videos man. just started some more havana gold tobacco seeds today
Glad for the tobacco update and my daily dose of David the Good laughter. Have a good day and take care if yourself. Did you think no one would notice the bandage on your finger? lol
I knew that would get a comment. Another coconut injury, believe it or not!
Glad you grew a beard brother!

Funny I was gifted some seeds also.
Worked Well, much Love&Gratitude, Peace!
My Tennessee Burley Tobacco seed pack says start 4-6 weeks before last frost. Starting indoors of curse, to avoid the frost.
Mine just sprouted up thanks for the tips did everything you said. I just didn't use piss water lol thanks didn't want my dog pissing on my seedlings lol

Where did you get your seeds I paid 2.50 40-50seeds from seedsman, they have a huge variety.
I'll be watching for updates on the "bakky"... I smoke American Spirit, certified organic or a pipe. We have room in the garden to try it too.
Glad to come across your videos. I have my tobacco sprouted but now I need to separate it and pot it up but I can't find a video on how to do that. Wondering if I just proceed as normal and will their roots withstand that transplant or do you have some other advice?
They transplant easily. I usually use a teaspoon.
great video man, got my sub. just started germinating some havana tobacco seeds. nothing beats a simple hand rolled cigarello at the end of the day. is there a part three?
Love your name. Welcome. I do have some more vids on tobacco.
I wonder if you will put the plastic on the seeds again? I started growing my seeds about 2 weeks ago and I noticed that they take their time.....
Ive got some burley tn90 sprouts that came up recently. Theyve been in a covered seed starting tray sitting in the sun. Kept wet, but they are starting to lose their vibrant green color. Should i take off the cover and water more often to keep damp and keep them in the sun, or bring them inside under a grow ligbt, I stupidly started them in 100% peat not thinking.

Foliar feed with miraclegro or sonething ASAP. They are starving.
@@davidthegood thankyou. I just did, hopefully they come back,
@@davidthegood thankyou again, that brought them back in 2 days time, green, and noticeable size increase. Thankyou so much
I have a question where did you get your seeds or do you sell them? I'm in central Florida.
Please advise and thank you🤗
Victory Seed Company
Love your channel and the updates! where do you get seeds for tobacco?

Director of Botanical Garden in South Florida gave me seeds
Did you use urine ?? is that for the nitrogen ?
Wow! Urine for fertilizer?

They're doing well and it's like hitting two birds with one stone... Urine! I learn something new everyday! Love your vids! What urine to water ratio do you use? Definitely gonna try it.
6 parts water to 1 part urine is usually recommended.
@@davidthegood Thanks David, much appreciated. :)
You bet.
What type of tobacco is this seedlings?
I still favor the "Biscuit" song! Hey I was perusing the interwebs and ran across an interesting find which mentioned the "Paradise tree" and the Soursop when it comes to claimed medical uses what do you know about this Paradise tree and could it be grown in Northeast Florida? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
So I’m supposed to grow covered but not in sun or lights?
can you just use a pot to start the germination and keep that pot through out the whole growing process? and can you transplant the seedlings?
Is it normal for the seedlings to take a long time to get bigger?
Yes
Hi David, thanks for the video,its the most simple and comprehensive video i have seen. But a question I have is this,When you say adding urine as a source of fertilzer for the plant, do you mean human urine or animal urine?. Thanks
How would you collect animal urine and why would you think there's a big difference may I ask?
What is the ratio of urine to water?
I am just getting started growing tobacco. What do you think about hydroponically growing, or aquaponic
Tobacco is easy in the ground. Hydroponics would probably work well if you already have it set up. Aquaponics are generally just a pain.
How do you cute and ferment?
Hey David, thanks for the helpful advice, got any tips for transplanting the seedlings? I followed your instructions and successfully germinated some seedlings which are now big enough to be transplanted, I just don't know how to go about doing it, they're so tiny that it seems my normal transplanting methods will not apply to tobacco. Thanks in advance!
I use a spoon to transplant into a larger container.
@@davidthegood Thank you kindly. You are awesome.
My tobacco seeds haven't grown past little sprouts. Why?
What's the wazz to water ratio?
is there a verity I could grow up here in Maine? love your videos keep up the great work!!!!!
Probably, yes. They grow fast! You might have to start them under lights.
David The Good awesome thank you!!! do you have a verity that you recommend???
Can you propagate tobacco from cutting the tops?
I don't think so.
Share the book let please

Thanks. I have just grown cigar tobacco and whatever type was wild in the Caribbean, and they were tasty chewed.

what about temps and pH?
Heh nice outro today David, couldn't keep a straight face eh? 😆 Hope you're doing well!
Much love from SW South Dakota
Thank you - right back atcha.
What’s the pee to water ratio in that spray bottle?
about 6 parts water to 1 part urine
Hey David, I ordered the eBook but it's not opening in Linux Mint ?
Any suggestions ?
sucker
Can you elaborate on the goat organ pit idea
Yes - you can see the concept here: th-cam.com/video/qCPRClS6-tY/w-d-xo.html
Wait, where is video number three? :-(
What is it with social media content creators and using, drinking, and cooking with urine?
I think I missed the urine video...what kind of urine, just straight up... urine?
Why not just use a wicking bed?
where do you recommend we find tobacco seeds
Victory Seed Company has a bunch of different varieties that you can order online. I think they're based in oregon. It took less than a week for my seeds to arrive and I live in AZ
Another place (my preferred) is sustainableseedco.com
part 3?
LOL I just knew that this is gonna be funny when you mentioned the urine
Mine have sprouted but have stayed tiny for over 2 months now. Just not growing... anyone know why???
Thin them out. May be the issue.
Whats the Urine to water ratio ?
I was reading through some of his comments and he mentions 6 parts water to 1 part urine is usually recommended
Thanks 👍👍👍
Man, one question than I can't find any answer, do ants move a tabacco seeds?
Depends on the ant and stuff. Sorry for not being more helpful, but yeah, animals will eat the seeds if they find them.
@@discomfort5760 why they not plant them? retard ants
i soak carrot seeds in kerosene to avoid ants taking them. i tested it on lettuce seeds, worked too. i would give it a try if thats the problem
Not smoking your one mate
You pissed on it lol
Okay I Will try to use a bit of urine in this spray
I realise now why I couldn’t grow before and yet in a place called Tenerife and not Thailand where I am now I grew tobacco without even trying to do all of these things
But somehow in Thailand it didn’t turn out right so I’m going to follow your voice and use the clingfilm
Maybe try watering from underneath.
Good idea
Will my pee still work if i only drink Mountain Dew?
Just planted mine yesterday, covered with plastic, & today the dirt is stuck to the plastic. Aagh! Ok, minor setback, scraped it off, respray, we will see.
Nice
URINE you say!
did you wizz in the bottle,
Collect it from a lion in the wild
?
Just a little more info please
Lion
Male or female
can I grow tobacco in alaska
Not easily. I have a friend who tried without luck. If you get seedlings large indoors then plant out, maybe.
Champion Style!!
I'm new here. Is he joking about the urine?
It works when thinned. But you don't have to use it.
WHO'S URINE???
As in human urine?
Crushing!
It's been an experience...
Sweet! Grow baby grow!
Weird my seedlings stopped growing
If they are not thinned out, they cease to grow.
it's like goldfish. if there isn't enough space they ain't gonna get bigger
is it illegal to grow tobacco?
No, even in the US I've heard that growing up to 500 plants for personal use is allowed - I used to grow it in Florida and Tennessee.
interesting to know! look forward to videos of this 2-3 months from now to see how far they've come. By the way, what are your thoughts on growing clemson okra? I don't think you've tried that yet there in the tropics? Unless you have but there's no video of it ?
It grows here - not a bad variety at all.
Is that really pee?
Never too old for a pony ride. What about too fat?
Bring back the 'stache!
You crack yourself up honey - along with us🎈
Defenseless progenitors of coffin nails. No, actually a good cash crop if I recall correctly. Good luck and much prosperity!
It is a good cash crop and almost no one is growing tobacco here. I think organic, non-sprayed tobacco is pretty safe.
you cant call those seedlings defenseless and then spray them with pee, woooow
Not the urine💀
Don't put urine in plants directly instead try using urinated soil.
Lost me at spraying tobacco with urine
get over it, just nature.
man lol.
DONT PUT URNIE IN IT, SMH
Do you have physical paperback or hardcover tobacco books?
No, not yet
@@davidthegood Do you have an email I can send an offer for a personal paperback one? Not a fan of e-books is why.
