Why Make Your Own Tobacco?

Tobacco plants deplete the soil of nutrients much faster than most other plants. Therefore, cost-effective phosphate fertilizers are used in the tobacco farming industry. However, phosphate fertilizers contain a natural occurring radioactive radon, which the leaves pick up. When smoking, this radon is then getting into the lungs from the smoker. Radioactivity never leaves the body. It builds up and it causes cancer. If you smoke 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes daily,  then you will receive as much radiation as from 300 or more chest x-rays. Phosphates kill! Do not use phosphate fertilizers when growing tobacco, vegetables or fruits! Click here to read more about phosphates.

Is This Legal?

Growing Nicotiana Tabacum (the common North American tobacco) for your own, personal use is fully legal. We do not know of any country where this is not the case. Like it is with making your own wine or beer, you will also not be allowed to sell it. Restrictions are often placed on the number of plants which you are allowed to grow and, or on the size of your field. However, this amount is in any case sufficient to make enough smokes for more than a year.

If You Are New To Growing Tobacco

Then we would like to inform you that Nicotiana Rustica, also known as Ceremonial, Shaman's, Aztec, Native or Wild tobacco etc. can have a 20 times higher nicotine contend than the regular smoking tobacco. Smoking it pure can lead to dizziness, sweating, a faster heart rate and a sick feeling. Nicotine at extreme high levels becomes hallucinogenic and can under certain conditions, have fatal consequences. If your body is not used to such high amount of nicotine, then use only Nicotiana Tabacum, which is the common North American smoking tobacco.

Tobacco Germinating Tips

1. Do not cover the seeds with soil. Daylight is needed for the germination.  Place the containers near a window or provide light from an, All-Spectrum electrical source.

2. Always keep the soil moist but not wet. The seeds will die if they dry out. You may need to check the soil for moisture several times during the day, until the seeds have germinated. Do not use distilled water!

3. A good temperature to germinate the seeds is about 75 - 80 degrees F.

4. Germination could begin already after three days. Longer (up to 14 days) under imperfect conditions.

5. Tobacco seeds do not contain any nutrients for the seedling to grow. They depend strongly on the soil. You need to use fresh, good soil. No pure peat moss! A good soil to germinate and to grow your plants is composted manure or tomato planting soil.

6. Store the seeds in a freezer to keep them viable for many decades. Acclimatize them to room temperature for two weeks before seeding.

7. If you want your plants to develop more seeds, then planting some catnip herbs nearby is advisable. Hardly any other plant draws as many bees and other insects for pollination into your garden. You will be surprised how well that works! Most packages come with some free catnip seeds.
