Plants Started, Which one is tobacco?

[SeanKelly]

So I got the plants started. The question I have is which one of these pictures is the tobacco and which one is a weed. I'm afraid there is something in my soil causing a weed to grow. No big deal I can just do some weeding. The two plants don't appear to be same type of plant. One grew tall fast and the other grows low to the soil.

IMAGE 2: Low to the soil

Image one (tall and fast) shows non-tobacco. Image two (low and slow) is tobacco.

Image two, sorry, is not tobacco either. It is chickweed, Stellaria media.

I disagree.

Allow that baby seedling to grow larger, then take a pic with a little angle to it.

I see what you mean. I was thinking that my lights are brighter than they need to be. They tend to grow wide before growing taller, like yours, Bob. We'll know soon enough. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[SeanKelly]

Thanks!

Yes this is interesting but I think like you. I believe it needs to be a little bigger before it put more leaf. But if it was just a little bigger I would say tobacco.. But I will follow this

 

[SeanKelly]

Okay now I'm a little skeptical that this might be some sort weed after all... doesn't look flat like yours.

Something tells me that is not tobacco. Do ya see any squiggly white tails on the surface? Should look something like this.

 

[SeanKelly]

No I don't see any of those, but then again I didn't plant many seeds.

 

[deluxestogie]

When you say "plant seeds", were they allowed to remain atop the soil, or were they buried?

Bob

 

[SeanKelly]

deluxestogie: I put them on the top of the soil and kept the soil moist throughout. Would you second that these are not tobacco?

 

[deluxestogie]

I can't say with even moderate certainty, given their tiny size and the fuzzy photos.

This is what the plants I originally thought to be tobacco turned out as. I have a new plant that I now to believe to be Tobacco as marked in these photos.

Good to see that authentic tobacco seedling come up for ya. I'd imagine after the pic the big ugly weed is no more..lol. I had a few non tobacco seeds sprout last year. It just happens. A little advice on the pic labels. Try using a bright yellow. You can barely see the red against the soil. Can't wait to see your garden grow. Good luck.

Gold luck with that tobacco plant! When it comes to the plant to the left I would take it away and perhaps burn it. Because it looks like something that can and will spread fast and easy. I have problem with pretty much things that will take over my garden. So If you don't have grown it don't let it live to long.
