This is really awesome!!! Thanks for making this vid! ROCK! That lightsaber will make a satisfactory tool for harvest time! LOL!
Pay special attention to the sowing instructions, their unusually small size make this the most challenging part of growing these plants! But I am certain you will be able to adapt your hydro processes to suit these!
Last tip, note the adult stage height and size: this is where the 'challenge' comes into play for hydro growing. Your substrate will need to be plentiful and large enough to support the plant's root structure, weight and height. However, on the positive side, I've seen entire grow rooms here on youtube of similarly tall plants that have been more than successful...lots of investment though :).
As you've mentioned, I think this may be an excellent project for an outdoor hydro grow next summer
@SurfMonkeyCoconut My top drip bucket system uses a 5 gallon bucket and I was able to grow a tomato plant over 6 feet tall. Hopefully it will be big enough for a tobacco plant. Looks like I'll have to build a few more this winter. Everything will be an experiment since I never tried growing tobacco before. I will most likely be hitting you up for more advice as I get further into the project. You obviously have infinite patients to count out 500 tiny tobacco seeds per pack. LOL
Congrats Paul, and great work on the greenscreening. It's fun to make your neighbours think you are crazy! ;o)
