Tobacco seeds have germinated! I was recently given some tobacco seeds from a fellow pipe maker and figured I'd try my hand a growing tobacco! I have planted Orinoco, Tennessee Red Leaf, Burley, Hungarian Sazmosi, Virginia Gold, Goose Creek Red, Turkish Samsun, and Havana.
I used a 72 cell domed tray type planter to start the seeds with some Miracle grow potting soil. I also purchased a heat pad to keep the seeds at 70-80 Deg f.
After about 5 days I was able to see the little guys start to grow. At the 7 day mark, they had sprouted and have leaves.
