So I don't know why this video is blowing up now after 2 years, but I suppose it's tobacco season. So I will upload some more videos as I grow them this year to share more details. I didn't realize people were so interested in it, it's a fascinating hobby. About 10 years I've been growing tobacco and I've tried many different methods of drying and harvesting, I will do a follow-up later in the season Once I finalize everything. Somebody asked me about ghost plant, I guess I must have talked about it in the video it's a couple of years old so I forgot. Here's a link to a video about that stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp3Vmpl4pLljm8ksi=IP82dzkk_Wn0Ht7m Be sure to leave your comments and experience if you have grown or tried this type! contact me at carpo420 at gmail To support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/carpo719 15 Minute Free Thinking Podcast: 15-minute-free-thinking.simplecast.com/episodes/19-finding-the-secrets-facing-life-with-gusto-and-the-psychedelic-shadow Hit subscribe I'll be sharing more tobacco videos this year once I get going❤

growing up in the 70s and early 80s I have worked numerous summers in the scorching heat of the southern NC tobacco fields and tobacco barns (old hot ass wood barns). Hard work and the only way we could earn money for school clothes. We actually worked from sun-up (06:00am) to sundown (1800) with a one-hour lunch break (all the older women would stay at the farmers home and cook the lunch...garden grown food and meat raised on the land- sweet tea to wash it down. I hated the hard work but as I look back - it created a strong work ethic for me later in life. Tobacoo was much "cleaner" back then...still sprayed with chemicals for the sucker leaves which really didn't work all that great. We still had to "sucker" and "top" each field a couple times each season- worst part of working in the bacca field was suckering! I do not smoke cigarettes, but I still found the smell of curing tobacco to be quite enticing on a late summer afternoon day. Unfortunately, this way of harvesting tobacco is long gone...Oh yea forgot to mention the HUMUNGOUS tobacco leaf eating worms (horn tipped worms). They could devour a whole plant in a couple of days-I use to collect them (LOL)in a Pringles can and toss them down my sister's shirt whenever she made me angry for some dumb shit. Seconds later after her screams, i am dashing through the field dying from laughter running for my life. The fun and joy we had was off the scale compared to today's crowd.

Growing tobacco is illegal in Australia, always blew my mind as a kid that you could go to jail for something they readily sold everywhere, cannabis made sense because of it being illegal, even though it didn't make sense for it to be illegal at least it was consistent. I always figured that is was the power of 'big tobacco' lobbying to kill competition from local growers. Anyway, laws never stopped me doing something I felt was not morally wrong, so I appreciate this knowledge!

I subbed literally because of this statement. "In a SHTF scenario, everybody stores stuff, food, ammunition, tobacco will always be a trade item". Being impartial is important, even if you disagree generally with what somebody does, like in this scenario, we can bond together from our want to be prepared. You may not personally agree that I have x, y, z guns, and I may not agree on some of the stuff you may own, but we both understand being prepared is smart. We can take that knowledge and share it among our community who MAY be interested in doing that type of thing, where myself or you wouldn't have that specific piece of knowledge. Great video.

Facts, people smoked real “pipe” tobacco that wasn’t loaded with chemicals and additives there whole life with no cancer or Lu g disease, cancer is a reaction to your body being poisoned for a long time, real tobacco that’s properly grown and cured isn’t what people buy at the gas station, it’s an ingredient in cigarettes but definitely not the only ingredient. If you smoke real homegrown tobacco without the chemicals that are added now, I guarantee there will be no cancer risk, you might have lung issues when you are in your 80s but nothing like you see with cigarettes

I grow cannabis for the same reason you grow tabacco, for the love of the plant. Love watching them grow and get to their full potential. Always learn something on every grow, especially outdoors. I don’t even smoke anymore and it’s a lot of time growing, drying and curing it. I just give it to anyone who wants it because legalization and the reservations around me totally killed prices so it’s next to impossible to even sell.

It's definitely worth It's weight in gold and perhaps even more given the proper scenario. The more desperate and beat down people are, the more they will want tobacco. The seeds, growing knowledge, drying and curing, and processing know how, would all be in high demand during the desperate times. I also love growing tobacco, along with growing all different kinds of plants, and I love smoking a pipe. I have no reason NOT to grow it! This is my 1st year growing tobacco and my plants are looking amazing. I'm growing oronoko strain. 1 of my plants I'm letting go to seed is almost 9ft tall. I swear, some of the lower leaves on mine are the size of like 15 cell phones put together. It's ridiculous. It's amazing what great compost and a micronutrient rich fertilizer will do for any plant.

Just wanted to drop a thanks for sharing your view of growing and drying tobacco! As a plant lover it is always interesting and fun to listen to another plant lovers views and experience regarding cultivation of plants. I am just about to start harvesting the first round of bottom leaves of my first ever tobacco grow. I intend to try different ways of curing, fermenting and drying to make my own "snus" (wich is a type of finely ground and moist tobacco with a couple additives that you put under your lip) and from what i have read there should be atleast 3 different and "synergetic" strains in such a mix. So I currently have nice rows of Havanna Deep Red, Kentucky One Sucker, Miss Mary (Sunlight Cured), Virginia Gold and three varieties that have been evolved from South America to fit a Swedish climate better and those are called Alida, Tofta and Bondtobak (Farmers tobacco). The last mentioned Bondtobak looks very similar to Rustica and it is also the most nicotine potent variety i have so I am guessing it is an evolved version of Rustica. Anyways, not gonna ramble on for too long but again, thanks for sharing! /Carl from Sweden

Hey man, I’m in Sweden now and struggling to figure out where to order seeds from. Do you have any experience growing the rustica here?

My Grandpa was a Kentucky Tobacco farmer that was in Bourbon county which oddly is a dry county or was. I loved smelling it curing in the barn.

Man I love the content 😌! I'm a indoor grower my self!! But on cannabis!! So now I will try something new!! TOBACCO!! Grow it my self at home 🏡! 🏡 grow strong 💪🙌

[@SKEEZAA]

Perfect so that you can roll the cannabis in the tobacco 😂

I never considered smoking disgusting in the least. I smoked for 30 years. I quit 20 years ago this year. I told myself when the price per pack goes up to $4.00, I'll quit. I quit when it was $4.50 a pack. Now, it's just plain outrageous. I would smoke again in a smokey heartbeat if I were growing my own tobacco. I'm not concerned with health because when I quit drinking in 95', I was eventually supposed to feel better. The same was said if I quit smoking lol. Bull !. I really enjoyed smoking, probably more than anything else and I truly miss that. I've smoked cigarettes straight from the farm and it was like smoking gold. I want that kind of tobacco what ever kind that may be.

[@lifeliver9000]

Your body needs nicotine and comes from many veges like potato celery etc. the second biggest source of nicotine is egg plants. It’s the 2000 chemicals like arsenic the smoke companies add that do the damage

[@dmo848]

Try growing weed. It's what your describing 😊

[@freddyheadbite3084]

Where I live (Norway), a pack with 20 cigarettes cost about 15 $. I am NOT joking. If you are a big smoker and buy a pack per day. ..Thats almost 500 $ per month. Have a nice day.☺

Thank you for your video, I was wanting to grow some and didn't realize the different types of tobacco.

[@1776WillCommenceCanada]

I had 50 seedlings growing in a tent that started rooting to eachother. I dumped them outside because Ive been lazy this year planting and so far on 1 took and grew new leaves so far. Im happy to just get seeds for next year.

[@carpo719]

I just let them do their own thing

Smoking is a very nice and very ancient habit, and is the fastest method of imbibing any medicament, I also have grown rustica, and tabacum an sylvestris, rustica is excellent for making baltic smoke cured, though sylvestris has got the finest quality's of leaf w a sweetness better than most other varietys, Cuban is a good alrounder with traits of rustica an wild like sylvestris cigar leaves, the recipe I had best success with was a 4000 Yr old Chinese one named "Ang houn" perfect for the pigtail, block press, pipe rolling and snuffs etc etc, the flowers are soo aromatic for those balmy summer evenings, love your knowledge and dedication... 💥💖🏁

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Injecting is the fastest.

[@asyncasync]

@@TheBeefSlayer surprisingly inhalation is actually the fastest way to get a substance to the brain. Even faster than injection, which is counter intuitive, but its true.

[@FruitFloridaFarm]

Thanks for the vid! Started growing tobacco this year. They are finally starting to grow after a few months of being same size. My mom grew tobacco with her father and sold them as cigars. I want to keep that tradition going.

[@ChrisThompson-jr2zs]

Got seeds in November and just put some in the dirt, wow lots of little seeds I'm excited to be doing this and have lots to learn,,

I grew nicotania rustica 2 years ago, this year i want to grow some turkish varieties including samsun. I also want to grow a cuban wrapper variety blunts.

[@seancook4317]

this is super old and the way the world is now, i'm not even sure this person is still alive (yet i havnt checked) but i'll leave a story, my grandma lived in Kentucky and i dunno why but she grew a lot of tobacco, she didnt smoke though, so i never knew why she grew it, i guess she just liked how it looked, anyways every year when we went to visit, it was during the same time all these awesome bright green caterpillars would show up on tobacco plants, i used to collect hundreds of them in a big basket just because i thought they looked cool lol it wasnt till later when i was an adult i realized i was out there working for free -.-

My dad died at 51 from it. My mom grew tobacco for the flowers because they were pretty and smelled nice.

[@susanvaughan-schiele210]

That's a different type of plant ( nicotiana )

[@threedog575]

If you shine the blacklight on commercial store bought cigs you can see the poison it doesn't show under a black light on home grown so I'd suggest home grown over vaping even if your trying to stop.

Carpo! Good to see ya man. Funny to see this on my feed randomly. Hope you're well!

[@LoveWins]

So I am obsessed with Awakening, obsessed with nature, and even more so obsessed with growing. Pretty much everything! I just love to watch things grow and take care of them. I just feel a very strong interconnectedness when doing so. This just came up in my feed, and I'm so glad it did because I had no idea that there was a shamanic type of tobacco other than rapè. I'm so excited I found your channel! ❤✌️

[@southernbridal]

What is shamanism tobacco? What is its purpose if it is so strong? Tyia

[@Ashes2ashes1111]

I've been growing the Aztec tobacco for the last 5 years and I love seeing it grow. It's a beautiful and wonderful medicine. I got stung by a bee today and put a tobacco leaf on the sting and it was instantly better. ❤

[@michelleshealinghome]

Super informative and to the point! Thanks for sharing your method and what you've learned over the years. I'm growing Nicotiana tabacum for the first time this year and am quite excited for harvest. It reminds me a lot of mullein in the way that it grows. For some reason when I started watching your video, I thought "I bet he lives in Portland."... then you mentioned Portland. I live in the Columbia Gorge on the WA side but was in Portland, OR for 13 years :)

We learn to grow tobacco because of the war on Gaza. It has become worth its weight in gold.
