hi bud good luck with this i shall follow along,yes the price of amber leaf 50g is now £36 here!taking the piss when it costs as much as a bag of weed!i do believe the drying and curing is the hardest part,too dry it just crumbles to dust but too moist it wont stay alight its been 20 yrs since i grew it though and id guess there likely different to grow now,peace

These a taking a bit to get going.

Still spraying with weak nutrients and bringing them in at night.
Hopefully they'll get a shift on now.

Seems to be getting somewhere now. Never grown anything so slow.
Plan is to thin a few out now.

Unfortunately the tobacco grow was a bit of a failure.
Summer this year was on a Tuesday.
Rest of the time it's either pissed down or struggled to get above 18c.
I'm thinking I need a greenhouse.

It's was worth a try

Shame it didn't take, awful summer or what. Ours was on a Wednesday lol.
Have you considered a poly tunnel. Less permanent than a greenhouse. We've got a greenhouse & purchased a cheap ish poly this year. Worked well.
