Wow!!! Go MIA for a few days and look what happens. Looks good though, thanks for all your hard work Rod!!!

Damn! Sorry to hear the bad news, Greg. Let us know how the new planting goes.

Pittsey, These little plants are extremely fragile when they're young,(until they reach 6-8 inches). That's why around here they're raised in greenhouses, in water beds on float trays. until they're 8-10 inches, then they mow the tops off back to 6 inches (this makes the plants stronger and...

Thanks for the progress report, Greg. I have close to 1200 pounds from last year hanging in the barn. So I didn't raise any this year. I'm going to try fermenting another batch soon, now that the weather is warmer. I just reciently started back to work. I'm working nights, 12 hr. shifts with...

Updates anyone????????

Send me your address and I'll get you some in the mail.

Greg, That's awesome brother!!! I want one. LOL!!! Keep up the good work.

Wow Greg!!! That is truely beautiful, I want one!!! I'd say that a little aging will make a world of difference. Do you know which types of tobacco were in that one? I've got some varieties that will grow as far north as Wisconsin, If you started your plants in pots in side about 12-16 weeks...

Looking good Greg! During your fermentation process were you able to smell the leaves releasing their amonia? If you smelled the odor of amonia, and it smells sweet now. I would say it's probably safe to smoke. Roll one up and smoke it. Let us know how she smokes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I would've known you wanted seeds. I would've been more than glad to send you some. Good luck growing your crop.

My last attempt at fermenting was a no go! I've got close to 1200 pounds cured and hanging in the barn. I'm waiting for a little warmer weather to try again.

I reciently fabricated a kiln to make my own charcoal. I baked a 55 gal. drum of apple wood, which turned out almost half a barrel of charcoal. This lump charcoal lights easier, burns hotter, and more even than store bought. The process is relatively easy. here are a few pics.

Duplicate post. Move along nothing to see here!!!!! LOL

Yes to cure it it needs to hang in a well ventilated area, out of the weather if possible. a shed, garage, or barn would work great. The tobacco will need to hang until it's uniformly brown. then before you can do anything with it it will have to come into case (absorb moisture this will make it...

Looking good!! I'd thin them out once again.
