Nicotiana Tabacum "Havana" Seedlings

Finally sourced/germinated my tobacco seed! Here are about half of my babies.
I've had them in a sunny windowsill for the last week. Today I thinned them all down to 1-2 seedlings per cell & gave them their first feeding of diluted kelp/fish emulsion.
My backyard is terribly compacted clay, gonna have to dig/amend a new bed next to the veggies & transplant these guys outside in a couple weeks. Excited that they're doing well as a super late frost killed all my seedlings last year... Lesson learned.
Anyway, just wanted to post a picture. If any of you guys have grown tobacco before feel free to share your secrets

Indeed! Funny enough, I actually quit smoking tobacco... currently full-time vaping, and happy keeping it that way. But I'd feel a great sense of accomplishment smoking the occasional bowl/cig of some homegrown organic 'bacco.
Gonna continue giving them a light kelp/fish feeding every week or so until they have a bit of size to 'em. Aside from that I'm just lightly wetting the soil every day/two with a spray bottle.
Main thing to figure out at this point is whether I'll put them in-ground or in containers with potting mix. The neighbours cats come over here and shit/piss in my garden which has been the death of many a tomato plant in the past Thinking containers might give them a better chance at survival
Any guidance? Tips? They're hardy plants but I'll take any advice I can get!

I've growing some rustica right now actually.
No secrets here though, sorry. I just sowed and kept moist. I've got some in a pot, and some sowed directly outside...both are going strong. They're fairly easy grows. I give em a liquid organic fert once a week or so

I've gotta source some seeds and get them growing. I enjoy some good Mapacho from time to time. I heard about something years ago, about the dangers of touching the plants and getting nicotine intoxication, and the need to be careful handling them. This was years ago, so someone can shed some light on that.. not sure if what I read was bs or not. Good luck with your grow!
So say you are vaping now? Those pens? If so, be careful of those. They cause more harm than actually non-vaping:

The e-cig vapes are also endocrine disruptors.

AFAIK it is safe to handle nicotine-containing plants without any fear of accidental ingestion, considering that dry tobacco leaf is safe to handle
It is interesting to note that I had seed planted in coco coir/compost a week+ before the batch I planted in Miracle-Gro. Somehow the MG plants actually germinated first and are all now twice the size of my best coco plant.
Dunno what it is, perhaps the peat-based potting mix just has better qualities regarding texture/water retention because I doubt that the presence of time-released ferts has made much difference this early in the game.

Thank you for posting that! I knew I read something years ago about that. I guess just wear some good gloves and water proof clothes, if you're growing a plant or two at home.

I have about 20 plants atm, probably 12-15 or so this size and a few smaller.
Re-potted them all from the little yogurt containers and seeding trays into plastic beer cups w/ pro-mix organic Veg/Herb mix.
They were a bit dry after being away all weekend... Gave em a fat shot of fish/kelp
They seem pretty happy

How old are those?
When I grew tobacco (N. tabacum) outside they grew very quick, but I have some growing in small pots now that need to be thinned/transplanted. They're in fox farms ocean forest soil, which I must say worked great in the past for cannabis, but seems to have slowed these seedlings down.

First pic is 15 days ago, second pic is today.
Most broke through the first week of June, making them roughly.. 3+ weeks old??
Growth was slow initially but has really taken off. As mentioned, the ones I started in coco are currently much flimsier than the handful I started in Miracle Grow. I usually prefer to go the organic route but I ran out of soil and got some MG for free, and damn. The MG plants are slaying my organic coco plants 
They're all in Pro-Mix atm and I'm gonna keep hitting them with the liquid organics on a weekly-ish basis and see where it gets me.

Thats a good fertilizer keep using that  I used kelp extract, fish emulsion, and worm castings on my tobacco and had phenomenal results. Give em tons of light and lots of root space.
Have fun!

Picture update, one week later. Growing fast!
7 days ago:

Today:

Been letting the soil dry for 2-3 days and watering fairly sparingly. Going to feed again next watering. Thinking these are probably ready to transplant outside next week.
Watchu guys think?

Lookin good. I was thinking they looked about ready to go out now, but I don't know when it comes to tobacco, I have yet to grow it.

They probably are, I just kinda want the roots to fully fill these pots so they come out/transplant neatly. Some of them got a little mangled during their first transplant

Gotcha, I have been wary of waiting to do transplants recently since this spring I apparently waited too long to put my peppers outside and they started getting rootbound and some of them stunted...
Show us how they look when you put em outside

Will do I won't let them get to the point of full-on root bound
My banana peppers are looking sad this year They stopped growing competely upon going outdoors. They're flowering now but they're not going to yield anything to write home about. Might have gone out too early. Spring in Canada is ruthless sometimes
My tomatoes are doing.. alright :p
I'll post some pics of the rest of my garden
