Growing Dubek New from seed

Nicotiana seed is very fine and needs light to germinate, so it is sown on the surface and not buried. The steps below follow the variety description.

• Sowing: press the seeds lightly onto the surface of the soil and leave them uncovered, so that light reaches them.
• Timing: start the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost.
• Soil: fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding compost or other organic matter supports growth.
• Light and water: full sun, and steady watering that keeps the soil moist without overwatering.
• Space: the plant reaches about 1.4 m and carries leaves around 23 cm long, so give each seedling room when it moves outdoors.

Because the seed is so small, the surface can dry out quickly. Water gently, from below or with a fine mist, so the seeds stay in place on the soil.

What is not yet recorded

No seed specifications have been saved for this variety yet. For that reason this page does not state a germination time, a soil temperature, a viability period or a germination percentage. Details such as the variety's origin and the exact plant spacing are also not documented on the product card in a form that can be checked, so they are left out here rather than guessed. The resistance and maturity notes above are quoted from the variety description and have not been confirmed by a lot test.
