Growing Tobacco Indoors

[ladysnus]

desirexe- T-5 lighting fixture and bulb included by Hydro Farm will run ya about 30$. T5's will give you much better lighting at 30 watts a bulb. Better meaning- light spectrum and further light penetration.

My hobbies and much of my work has been with aquatic plants and coral reef aquarium systems and T5s are where it's at these days.... with fish tanks as well as hydroponics. Btw, great job picking coco to grow in:wink:

Is there any legal considerations when growing your own tobacco? I know it's illegal to make whiskey.

Growing tobacco for your own personal use is perfectly legal and tax-free. You can also give it away, but you can't sell it legally. I did the homework before I ordered the seeds because I wondered if it was legal too.

I have discovered a horrible indoor pest! I woke one day to find an entire leaf on my 6' plant half chewed off. I inspected the plant and didn't see any bugs so I was stumped as to what could have eaten half a leaf. I discovered the culprit the next day, it was my blasted cat!! She seems fine but keeps coming back to chew every night!! Guess I am not the only nic junkie in my house!

Maybe you should talk to PP.

He might be able to find you a big hawk or falcon to help you with your problem...

Or, I guess you could plant catnip in the other corner of your house...

Sprinkle some cayenne pepper on the floor around the plant.

Both of those are great ideas! I'm gonna go with catnip though.
