Ok, been a bit since I updated this. I had to remove the top from the "greenhouse" because the plants were getting too tall. I also spaced the plants out a little so they wouldn't get tangled up anymore.

Here are some new pics:

Another 2 days growth

Can see some in the back growing a little faster

and the back row [left side]

2 days later

So it has been 2 days since germination, so I thought I'd post an update. I have a few plants getting tall, most are about the same size. Here are 3 new pics.

Looking down at the plants.

Beginning tobacco growing

I have decided to try my hand at growing a few tobacco plants. The seeds are easy to get online, many places sell them for rather cheap prices. I started with a Jiffy "greenhouse" and Jiffy plugs. The Jiffy plugs seem to be compressed peat and soil in a biodegradable mesh [some kind of paper maybe] that need about 1/8th of a cup of water to expand to full size, which is between an inch and 1.5 inches tall, and about half and inch across. The "greenhouse" is a tray and clear top that sits on it trapping heat. I got a 72 count starter set, and used 24 of them, so if I mess up or need more I have 48 in reserve.

The tobacco seeds are SMALL, here is a picture next to a penny to compare size.


This picture is of the plugs after they had expanded to full size.

The following pictures show the first germination after just 4 days.
