Growing Instructions

Germination of tobacco seeds is generally 7 – 10 days. Start indoors 4 – 8 weeks before transplanting. Sow thinly on surface of sterile soil mix. Do not bury. Press seeds firmly in soil. Mist with water. Keep evenly moist, but not soggy. When the seedlings are big enough (15cm – 20cm tall), transplant to soil or 10 gal pots. Make sure soil is close as possible to a pH of 5.8. If soil has pH of 6.5 or over, it results in poor growth. Water the tobacco thoroughly each evening for a few days as the plants settle. Once they become better established, you can water less frequently to avoid over-watering.

 

Fertilizing Tobacco

Tobacco needs fertilizers with balanced nutrients and a high nitrogen intake during the vegetative period for optimum growth. Fertilize tobacco every two weeks, modifying as the plant grows from seed to maturity. To avoid overfertilization, use between 25% and 50% of the suggested dosage from the manufacturer. Benefits include increased vitality and strong growth. It’s important to make seasonal modifications; in the cooler months, reduce frequency. Use slow-release formulations to ensure a steady supply of nutrients. After fertilizer, always give tobacco a thorough watering to promote nutrient absorption and avoid root burn.
