There is a most interesting thread regarding growing your own to be found at this link. Pay particular attention to the posts by a user named "tekwyzrd." Pictures of his 2007 crop, which he is presently smoking, can be found on page 2 of that thread, while pictures of some of his dried Virginia Gold leaf can be found on page 7. Page 16 has several photos which show the size the seedlings should be before hardening off and planting in the ground. I first saw photos of his 2007 crop two years back in the old forums. It had never occured to me to attempt the same, nor would I have thought it possible had I not seen his photos.

If anyone does grow tobacco. One important thing... depending on the inate nicotine content of that particular strain... tobacco itself can cause nicotine poisioning. Just a BTW.... ran across this information when reading about a strain of tobacco that was smuggled out of the US in the 80's that is growing in Brazil now, that is lethal to touch,

There is a reason for the hazardous materials charge. This stuff is deadly if you mishandle it. One drop of pure nicotine on your skin could cause serious problems and even death. Do not try this at home.

I put up a similar thread until I learned that my math wasn't right and I said no way. Maybe

Normally a Gram = Ml

There are 1000 micro grams in a gm

That means that there are 1000mg of nicotine in a ml of what you are purchasing.
There are roughly 33 drops in a ML
that means that every drop has 33mg of nicotine.

Now the ejuice I bought that was 36mg had 3.6% Nicotine so 1000ml of juice would
have 36mg a big drop not a small drop!!.

By my calculations to make 1000ml (1 liter) of 36mg juice you'd add one drop
and if by accident you swallowed a drop that would be equal to ingesting
1000ml or 1 liter of the highest retail solution readily available on the market.

You can ignore the dire warnings but do the math!!!

That is way too strong to be casually playing around with.
How much goes airborne. If you spill it and it gets on your skin
would a drops worth be absorbed. By my calculation fractions of a drop would
be lethal

Even if my math is wrong by a decimal point it's still beyond dangerous.
Please everyone check my math.
