TN 90 is one of the most widely grown tobaccos in the world. It is an excellent Burley tobacco variety having resistance to TVMV, TEV and PVY. In addition to superior disease resistance and high yield potential, it's earlier maturity and smaller stalk offer an advantage over TN 86 to some growers. The light green leaves turn yellow when ripe and air cure easily, both primed or stalk hung. It matures in 70 days. TN 90 performs well in a wide variety of climates and is one of the most widely grown tobaccos world wide. Together, TN 90 and TN 86 make up over 50% of the US Burley production. Each packet contains 100 seeds. 1/4g is about 1,000 seeds, and 1g is around 4-5,000.


Tobacco plants are very interesting, ornamental, and have many uses apart from consumption. Tobacco seeds are not classified as tobacco products. We promote the cultivation of tobacco plants, but we do not promote the use of tobacco products.
Tobacco seeds are tiny and look like dust, but each one has the potential to quickly grow into a huge tobacco plant. They need light to germinate. Sprinkle the seeds onto the surface of a moist and sterile seed starting mix. Do not cover the seeds. They also must never be allowed to dry out, so they are frequently (but gently) watered using a mist from a spray bottle. While waiting for germination, it can help to cover them with some kind of plastic sheeting to help hold moisture.

Once tiny seedlings emerge, you can pick them out one by one and move them into individual cells. Very lightly fertilize and never allow the potting soil to dry out. Within 6 weeks it'll be ready to plant in the garden. Wait until all risk of frost is over before planting outdoors.
