If the cell tray does not have holes for drainage, use a knife to cut small slits in the bottom of the cell so water can escape.
The seedlings may all start to grow, but you’ll be able to thin them out once they start to germinate.
Containers that previously held food, like the grocery store packaging for mushrooms, work perfectly for this. When the soil feels dry to the touch, refill the container with water.
Separate the cells from the tray by cutting them individually with a pair of scissors. If the tobacco plant starts to droop or wilts to one side, use a wooden barbecue skewer to support it upright.
Do not apply any fertilizer after flowers begin to form.
You can also use grow lights to provide enough light for the plant as well as additional warmth.
Alternatively, you can cut the entire stalk down 3-4 weeks after you remove the flowers, but the lower leaves may be partially deteriorated at this time.
A room where you can control air flow is the best place to hang and cure the tobacco. You can age the tobacco for up to 3 years for the flavor to fully develop.
Add a few drops of vanilla extract or another flavoring to enhance the flavor of your tobacco.
