Thank you for just having like a straight-up comprehensive video. The other people I watch I have crazy plans and they act like if you deviate from them you'll never get anything growing and it's kind of whack
Person makes that face... Me: "Can you compost my enemies?" Person makes that face... Me: "I have tobacco." Person makes that face with double the enthusiasm.
use jiffy-trays with a removeable poly lid. then spray with a mister bottle. when plants are about the size of a quarter trans-plant them to bigger cups. then feed with a dilute fertilizer solution from a mister bottle. no more hassles growing tobacco....
SHTF is almost here. Got my tobacco seeds in Florida yesterday. Thanks for reminding me to protect my crop from addicts. Initially was going to let them in on it to screw the govt. out of tax revenue. You have possibly saved my life.....lol😊
I hope to be the Tobacco Queen!! Great advice... I don't smoke but you never know when some Tobacco may come in handy. I believe it makes a pretty good ala-natural insecticide. I ordered the booklet to learn more. Liked!
Thank you for watching. Plant propagation is way easier than most people think.

This knowledge even if you don't smoke means you could grow it & use it for trading if SHTF. =) Great info David... After this, make sure you do the growing, drying & such. LoL 🌱Be Blessed ღ 🌼
you can turn it into medicine if you know how medicine works. Smoking anything period causes toxifying of the body, so if permanent detoxification of tobacco tar is your goal, you'll just have to find somehow to make the tobacco medicine formula from someone who knows how to ferment the tobacco juice and put about a tsp of it in a drink or like a shot every day for about 9 months. just keep doing a tsp a day for 9 months.
thankyou! I had just recieved my tobacco seeds from" Aliexpress ", and was wondering how to grow..My dear husband smokes a little but the costs of cigarettes is sky high in Puerto Rico, like everything else...and getting worse by the second, but that is another story. I am now the proud owner of two of your E-books on my Kindle! (grow or die: the good guide to survival) and ( the survival gardeners guide to growing tobacco, barter,...) anyway I love your videos first for your sense of humor, second with things getting so expensive, you have helped me be more self sustainable here in the tropics, say hi to your lovely wife, and again thank you.
Tobacco farmers put anti fungus spray on their crops plus bug spray and other chemicals. I use to help my grandpa grow tobacco. He grew 200 acres of tobacco but he grew his without using chemicals.
I think people give a longer time for germination because it is unpredictable to an extent. I've tried growing most seeds I can get and have had interesting results when it comes to germination, sometimes it's fast and happens over night, other times it takes so long that you give up. Years ago I tossed the soil and seed I had trying to grow after not popping up for weeks, just to discover the plant growing in the garbage can a week after tossing (so around a month for that particular seed even tho I've had seeds from the same plant germinate or sprout overnight and within days)
Do you have any suggestions on types of tobacco that germinate easier?... and can all tobacco plants be used for rolling, pipes, chewing, and snuff? Thanks in advance for your input. I’m really excited to start doing this.
Sorry nobody replied sooner, but the type of tobacco depends on what flavor you want. Not any tobacco is a good smoking tobacco, etc. research what kind of tobacco you like for your purpose
I absolutely love your videos and books! Do you have a video you can link me to about seed starting in general? I'd love to see information that takes me all the way through the process - from seed in the dirt to transplanted outside. Especially for some of the more difficult type seeds like sea buckthorn or hops. I have decent luck germinating overall, but my seedlings always seem to die before they go outside, or the ones that live never grow and don't do much but stay tiny. Thanks for all you do and keep up the fantastic work!
you're too much fun to watch.! I tried 2 months ago to sprout a round of my virginia tobacco seeds, total bust! Im going to try it again like you did! thanks:)
Great video! I did have a question that I can't seem to find anywhere. When transplanted in larger pots for example the final pot they'll be in. What soil do I use and what nutrients do I use? People have said they use potting mix for their entire grow which seemed weird to me because they would need nutrients and stuff
Well I don’t smoke but I am considering growing tobacco for another reason. Ticks hate tobacco so growing it where you don’t want them to be is ideal. They also repel parasites so much so that birds will make nests with the plant after it dies. Turning it into fibrous strips helps the birds out and if you have chickens or other animals, they can benefit from this for their bedding.
I heard we are not supposed to cover them... why would that matter? I like the greenhouse effect with the plastic. One question: I'm in Seattle area and my germination failed a month ago so I finally get to it mid June... we have late summer so I'm okay with this and the only time I grew some I grew huge Hungarian Broadleaf and soso Connecticut Shade.... Both prevailed under an Evergreen Tree till Sept... I was blown away... It gets cold and dewy at night till 6am so if I keep them outside in a shady area and bring them in at night where its warm in the shop, shouldnt work great? Thanks bud... oh and you are super funny man... shared
what better teacher for teaching tobacco than david the good! i've watched your other vids before and i just decided today i would search up tobacco and your channel came up! and thanks for your input too lol 👍 have you tried making tobacco kake? fermenting? etc?
Lol tobacco king.i always sprout tobacco seeds in hot totally dark room ,when sprouted less than a 1/2 inch then light, man my previous Virginia plants gave me so many pods with seeds. yeah one pad holds about 4000 seeds at least
Hi David, i am in a bit of a predicament as i want to plant a little patch of tobacco in my yard next year. I have 2 possible areas where i can do this. The first area is constantly exposed to full sunlight which scorches the ground, as well as there being literal tons of coal on the soil over the years and its completely black and quite hard soil. The next spot is under some fruit trees, constantly covered by the trees and has very little sunlight over the day, the soil being soft-ish and suitable for planting. I know that both of the locations arent ideal so i would like to ask you where would it be better to plant it?
You're right, i forgot i could try and do that. The sun is extremely intense there though, i could even say scorching, wouldnt it kind of fry my plants if i put them there? I am also wondering which type of soil would be good, every video on growing tobacco i've seen notes to use a branded soil such as miracle grow, however i do not live in the us and i dont have a very big choice of soil and the soil i have in the yard is not particularly good for plants, so i would appreciate if you could write me up a rough description of what soil i should use. I was wondering too, is it really worth growing 3 different types of tobacco for cigars? My problem with it is that i have to order 3 different types of seeds and there always ends up being leftovers. Thanks for the help and the fast reply
@@igorpadurjan5714 add a couple more raised beds in front with some shading plants or build a trellis with climbers. the answer is always more plants! lol
none. tobacco juice medicine is best for detoxing tar and you do a tsp a day for 9 months. just have to find someone who knows how to ferment tobacco juice.
Growing tobacco is like growing celery! Need to be sown on the surface and misted regularly so the seeds don't dry out :) Guess I could grow tobacco too lol
Hey Dave when you wrapped the tray to keep it moist did you just leave it as is till you saw life or water them here and there? Pack of smokes here are $40 -$50 for decent ones in Ostralia, shitty government, really trying to grow my own
where do you buy your seeds. does anyone have info on taste of the different types of tobacco. sorry, I got caught up in questions. I liked your video and look forward to the continuing saga. lol. Thank you for any help.
Works like germinating carrots. Tobacco can be planted as a trap crop near crops that are attacked by many types of plant eater bugs. A liquid like compost tea can be made into a repellent but I don't remember a repellent for what (deer, mice?). I would probably apply it wrong and end up with no garden. The yen and yang of it all. Where do you live now?
What kind of tobacco are you growing? I have some Shirazi which did really well here in my short summer climate, way up north. I couldn't get the leaves to cure properly though. They either went crispy, or mouldy.
It's something in between cigar and cigarette, best as I can tell. A patch of them showed up in a friend's yard and he offered me some seeds. The "mold" may just be the exudates. I had some go white on me and they still smoked well.
can you make a video about how to compost your enemies please
Lol wood chipper, topsoil, worm casings, and lots of privacy 🤣
feed them to the pigs (if you have any)
Embalm them in Gatorade and keep them in the office as a warning to other would-be enemies.
Cinnamon works great
Lol ..compost enemies😆now that's funny
Thank you for just having like a straight-up comprehensive video. The other people I watch I have crazy plans and they act like if you deviate from them you'll never get anything growing and it's kind of whack
Thank you
Hey , I want in ! Lol do you sell any seeds ?? Where can I get seeds ? Or what kind should I look for ? Thanks :)

I've been having trouble getting mine to sprout, now I know where I've gone wrong. Thanks. Aloha
Very glad I could help.

Thank you, Stacey.
Are u The Tabacco Queen yet?
Also perfect for insect bites and bee/wasp/hornet stings
@@purpled4864 Could you please tell a bit more about tobacco for insect bites/stings?
I see tobacco seeds as useful for being prepared in case of fundamental changes to society, homemade tobacco might come in handy for bartering

This was a great video!
jeb in the house!
Tobacco leaves will be money when everything collapses. Or cigars. Maybe. Or shells.
Clams?
I failed trying to plant tabacco...very helpful and informative vid thanks!
I just got 300 seeds online for $15 figured I’d give it a try as I could make some fine cigars with it, let’s hope for the best!
Dude.. I laughed way too hard at the face of the tobacco user "Jones'n" haha cracks me UP
Tobacco farmers put anti fungus spray on their crops plus bug spray and other chemicals. I use to help my grandpa grow tobacco. He grew 200 acres of tobacco but he grew his without using chemicals.
You don't spice your cakes?! That's it, I'm out.
Hehheh
lol
Lol
Got three varieties. Cheers from Alaska
It also discourages bugs etc so anti mozzie whilst growing as well.
You make me Florida proud! Strong work
I'm working toward Tobacco king. Thanks, David.
I just got some amber leaf seeds am try to grow them this summer in England
I di3d laughing at the end lol Masta had me working working all day just one more puff and the cravings govaway
What do you think about using the plastic dome that comes with a planting kit?
Mine sprouted in 3 days in the dark

Holy cow.. i moved to Germany too and bought some seeds to grow my own tobocco and i wanted some tipps and i am here. Cool.
"Like you put spices on a...cake"
That's weird dude. Should've said something normal like putting frosting on a fried chicken
Do you have any suggestions on types of tobacco that germinate easier?... and can all tobacco plants be used for rolling, pipes, chewing, and snuff?

Could you group these in a playlist? Hard to find the others on mobile
Thanks man! Planting some today , I love tobacco too but not the store kind very much
The Tobacco king is here🐐
This kind of plants are available in our village my grandfathers used to smoke with this.
I've been inspired to grow something else by you,and I don't even smoke,wish I knew you when you lived in tn,seem like a cool dude
I was thinking about trying and go some as a trap crop or a much plant for chop and drop
I absolutely love your videos and books!

I have some Massachusetts wrapper tobacco to grow this year. Thank you for the starting tip. Going to start mine six weeks before the last frost.
You are very welcome. Have fun - sounds like a great variety.
4:41 wat? AHAHAH fallout in a nutshell , but great vid
you're too much fun to watch.! I tried 2 months ago to sprout a round of my virginia tobacco seeds, total bust! Im going to try it again like you did! thanks:)
Good luck!
Where do you find Virginia tabacco seeds?
I like your thinking sir, great stuff.
Great video! I did have a question that I can't seem to find anywhere. When transplanted in larger pots for example the final pot they'll be in. What soil do I use and what nutrients do I use? People have said they use potting mix for their entire grow which seemed weird to me because they would need nutrients and stuff
I use whatever potting soil I have, but often add compost. Also, liquid fertilizer. Even MiracleGro is fine.
There’s a brand of smoke in Australia called Port Royal . I wonder what type of seeds they are . The best taste.
Dude! As a Bob Dylan fan, that was a great Bob Dylan impersonation!
Cracked me up the rabbit impersonation, slaving the tobacco addicts😂😂😂 thank you❤✌
Good idea bud. The wrap I mean.
I recognize that end song!! Love him!
Is your booklet only in digital form? I'd like an actual booklet
Tobacco is also a great pesticide, WHOMP WHOMP!!!
What zone are you in? Trying to source some seeds, love the vid🤘🏻
8b. Try Victory Seed Company.

Never.

i've watched your other vids before and i just decided today i would search up tobacco and your channel came up!
and thanks for your input too lol 👍
have you tried making tobacco kake?
fermenting?
etc?
I have dried it slowly and sun-dried it, I have also packed it in jars to ferment. Still experimenting.
I must become the Tobacco King
Hehehe you made me laugh. Love your channel. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Thanks for the video and the laugh!
Lol tobacco king.i always sprout tobacco seeds in hot totally dark room ,when sprouted less than a 1/2 inch then light, man my previous Virginia plants gave me so many pods with seeds. yeah one pad holds about 4000 seeds at least
How long are we leaving the cling film/saran wrap on for? Just until they start sprouting?
Yes, or a little after

I know that both of the locations arent ideal so i would like to ask you where would it be better to plant it?
Is it possible to throw together some quick raised beds on the sunny area and go up with your soil? The sun is definitely better than the shade.
You're right, i forgot i could try and do that. The sun is extremely intense there though, i could even say scorching, wouldnt it kind of fry my plants if i put them there?

Subscribed. Funny and informative
Welcome
Would a propergator work? My amber leaf seeds just arrived
Where is a good place to buy seeds. I do have a lot of Amish around but never asked around
Omg David G. you totally unrolled that saran wrap wrong!
- Saran wrap expert
That's hilarious.
Great job. What seeds are good for chewing? Thanks for sharing.
none. tobacco juice medicine is best for detoxing tar and you do a tsp a day for 9 months. just have to find someone who knows how to ferment tobacco juice.
Growing tobacco is like growing celery! Need to be sown on the surface and misted regularly so the seeds don't dry out :) Guess I could grow tobacco too lol

How does that song go....?
I think I love you ....
🤗Loved the video, thanks!
Looking at his eyes, me thinks he maybe partial to the odd Jamaican woodbine,,great video man!👍😂
Know anywhere to buy Virginia gold tobacco leaves?
where do you buy your seeds. does anyone have info on taste of the different types of tobacco. sorry, I got caught up in questions. I liked your video and look forward to the continuing saga. lol. Thank you for any help.
Mate 024seconds in an you made Abraham Lincolns facewith the tabacco seeds 😁
Hey David, have you ever had problems with Tobacco Mosaic Virus?
😂😂tobacco king I love it
love the outro lmao
Question what is your " fertilizer" ratio to water? Won't straight fertilizer burn the seedlings.
can i grow tobacco in a rocky/ loose loam soil?
Yes. It's very adaptable.
Do you use regular tap water or distilled water???
Either
Bro you're an f-ing genius
Thank you.
This is almost EXACTLY like cacti seeds. With cacti you sterilise the soil and leave the wrap on for like 3-4 months.
Great Video and i have a question. Do you have to water spray them again or you leave them until they grow?
I didn't see any seed for sale in your store.whare would I get some? Can you point me in the right direction
Victory seed company
Lol at the tobacco slaves and doomsday :D
Im trying to grow them for My dad now, first time. Thanks for the tips. :)
Mine died as they got about a half an inch due to the crazy weather this year.
"Compost my enemies for me" 😂
awesome as always!
Are there different species of tobacco for different grow zones? I’m zone 4b
Not that I know of.
What season do you suggest starting this?
Early spring
Thanks.
Works like germinating carrots. Tobacco can be planted as a trap crop near crops that are attacked by many types of plant eater bugs.

Undisclosed location, Central America.
Tobacco is great for killing many insects.
what kind of seeds did you get ?
all the best
Not sure. Came from a patch growing at a friend's yard. He's not sure where they came from originally.
How can i prevent the seeds from rotting while moist?
I have a lot of tabacco, here in Africa (Rwanda) can I get a big market of it?
the end song killed me 🤣😂👌
What kind of tobacco are you growing? I have some Shirazi which did really well here in my short summer climate, way up north. I couldn't get the leaves to cure properly though. They either went crispy, or mouldy.
