Just starting out in tobacco growing: @Bigborebob

[Bigborebob]

Hi all,
I'm bob, (not my real name but.... you know, internet) I'm a newbie cigar afficionado and a former cigarette smoker. I quit the cigs almost 5 years ago. I smoke a cigar and have some good whiskey about once a month. I'm diving into growing my own tobacco to satisfy my vitamin n craving. I'm looking for info regarding growing tobacco in the south west region of Montana. I have some seedlings started and will be planting outdoors soon. Any advice for a new grower is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to FTT. The new grower’s FAQ section of the forum in an interesting read.

Welcome to the forum.

I'd say those plants are ready to "harden off" and be planted. Anything that reaches maturity in 70 days or less is best for Montana's short growing season, unless you're growing indoors or a greenhouse. Everything looks good.
