Hi --

You know, I spent the last 30 years playing in rock bands and consorting with all kinds of entertainment people like dancers and theater and in all that time, nobody has ever offered me a hit off a joint!

Strange that is! (quoting Yoda)

Bob

haha thats crazy..how did you find this site then?

Hahahaha

But I agree, I would love if you'd document a tobacco grow. I doubt I'd be able to pull much in 5 gallon buckets on my roof with the tomatoes but if I ever save up enough to buy a farm and move from the city and haven't quit smoking yet I'd love to give it a try.

haha i will roll my weed in the tobbbacco leave get super lifted

BkBudz -

If you have a flat roof and no shading trees, then you sure could grow a nice crop of tobacco up there. I know people who grew 200 plants in 4-5 gallon pots last year and the plants went to 8 feet tall!

It would make send to put in a drip irrigation system, for sure. You'd also have to make provision for keeping the pots from tipping over or, GASP! Blowing away in the wind! An 8 foot tall plant in a 5 gallon pot tends to get a bit top-heavy!

What's important is that you are ready to put the transplants in the pots (or ground) right after your last average freeze. That means you need to start them indoors 6-7 weeks before that time. I plant out around April 1, so I start my seeds germinating around the 2nd week of February. If you are growing tomatoes and peppers too, you would start tobacco about the same time as the peppers and about a week before the tomatoes.

Bob

I have a question. How many packs of cigarettes do you think would be on one mature tobacco plant?

Hi --

That's a very important question when sizing your crop.

The standard answer is that each plant makes about 3 ounces of dried product. This assumes an average plant grown in an average fashion.

One pound of tobacco will make on average 2-1/2 cartons of cigs. This will allow you to figure out how many plants to grow to fill a year supply at a certain smoking rate for cigs.

Some plants, however, are huge ones. Take the Havana varieties. They could be 8 foot tall plants with 18-20 leaves and can yield over 4 oz per plant.

Some are very small, like rustica. It is only 2 to 2-1/2 feet tall and you'd be luck to get 1/2-1 oz from them.

Hope that helps,

Bob

Welcome aboard Bob, hope you enjoy your stay here. I'v not tried home grown tobacco, I quit smoking cig's about 9 months ago however. What are the differences between homegrown and store bought cigs? I know the additives are awful, but how's the taste / other stuff compare?
