@HighChurchBaptist@poa.st I tried to grow tobacco but they stopped growing at an inch or two. I tried giving them more sun but I forgot about them in the rain and they were destroyed. I'd be interested in what kind of seed mix you use.

@badneighbor@poa.st For seed starting mix, I tend to go with whatever I happen to have on hand. I like compressed seed starting mix pellets because they're convenient and don't make as much of a mess, but I'll use loose bags as well. One thing I have noticed from several years of experimenting is that tobacco seedlings are heavy feeders and don't like to stay in their starting cells for very long. Most of the issues I've had with plants getting stunted and never growing past the seedling stage tended to be because I waited too long to transplant them. A rule of thumb I've seen online is that they need to be transplanted once their leaves are roughly the size of a dime.
