• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Home Grown Tobacco

According to some online conspiracy extremists, tobacco plants possess some scary qualities beyond the potential heart attacks or cancer breath.

For example, tobacco plants can supposedly be used to concoct harmful substances for things like IEDs, aka: Insect Ending Djuices, or IADs, aka Improvised Anti-fungal/bacterial Djizz.

Unfortunately I'm all about improvised anti-f/b-djizz, so I banged these two Vagina Golds in the dirt three-ish weeks back.
Update: Roughly a month since the last pics of these two Virginia Gold test plants. Here's what they're lookin' like right now:

Both are approximately 7 weeks old from seed and grown indoors this whole time under a couple of Helios 1000X LEDS which are on 24/7.

Transplanted them from the little blue nursery pots (seen in the first pics) into these larger PB12 bags about 3 weeks ago. The flowers began developing a few days later.

I’ve grown a few small batches of tobacco at home out of curiosity, mostly to see how much work actually goes into curing it. The plant itself is easy, but getting the leaves dried and fermented so they don’t taste harsh is the real challenge. Most beginners underestimate how much space and patience you need, and the final flavor depends a lot on how stable the temperature and humidity stay during curing.If you just want something smoother or cheaper than store-bought, home growing can be fun, but it rarely turns out as consistent as commercial tobacco. Some folks switch between home-grown and vapes when they can’t get the curing right, and that’s where devices like the GTX one from vaporesso come up. It’s simple to use if you want a break from rolling, and the coils last a decent amount of time without fuss.

Forgot about this thread.

Update: Still got the same two plants going strong, and have accumulated a bit over two pounds of dried—compressed leaf so far that I'm letting age, excluding roughly several ounces worth I've used for testing different curing, fermentation and flavoring methods.

Haven't had much luck overall really, although the anaerobic fermentation (aka: pressure-fermentation) method did seem to produce the best results. Ah mean, it was basically smokable after shredding and didn't taste too bad despite being relatively fresh and unflavored, butt still not comparable to commercial grade tobacco.
