Growing tobacco (Nicotiana Tabacum)
started 1. March 2025 by preparing the potting soil. The soil is normal
potting soil that can be bought from a store and wood ash.
Tobacco seeds are tiny. Like a dust.
Potting soil and wood ash.
Growinng tobacco needs lots of light. I use led lamps and small fluoricent tube lamps that are specially made for growing
plants.
Tobacco seeds are planted and are under a plant light.
Tobacco seeds are planted to the top of the soil. The seeds need light to activate germination.
The seeds have germinated.
The tobacco seeds have germinated just after couple of days. Some small germinated seeds have
been removed to make space for the seeds that are bigger than the
others.
The plants are in front of a window to get sun light in 7. March 2025.
Tiny tobaccos have grown new leaves 13. March 2025.

Only one plant is left to the plastic flower pots. The plants are supported with wooden sticks. One tobacco is noticeably small.

The tobaccos are moved to bigger pots. Buckets are cheap flower pots.
Now the tobaccos are outdoors but at night time they are moved to indoors,
because the nights are still cold.
