Growing Samsun Abk 135 from seed

Nicotiana seed is very fine and needs light to germinate, so it is sown on the surface and never buried. The steps below follow the variety description on the product card.

• Sowing: sprinkle the seeds over the soil surface and leave them uncovered.
• Temperature: the card gives 20 to 25 C (68 to 77 F) for germination.
• Germination: the card gives 10 to 14 days. This is a general guide and not a tested result for a specific lot.
• Spacing: set plants 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24 in) apart.
• Light: full sun exposure.
• Watering: moderate. Avoid overwatering.
• Soil: well-drained, fertile, with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5.

Because the seed is so small, the surface of the sowing mix can dry out quickly. Water gently, from below or with a fine mist, so the seeds stay in place and are not washed into the soil.

The mature plant is tall for a garden bed, so give each seedling room when it goes outdoors. A spacing of 50 to 60 cm leaves space for the leaves to open fully and for air to move between plants. Choose a position in full sun, since the card calls for full sun exposure.

What is not yet recorded

No seed specifications have been saved for this variety yet. For that reason this page does not state a viability period, a germination percentage or a seed count per gram. The flower color and the history of the variety are also not documented on the product card in a way that can be checked, so they are left out here rather than guessed.

FAQ

How do I sow Samsun Abk 135 seeds?

Sprinkle them over the surface of moist, well-drained soil and do not cover them. The seeds need light to germinate, so burying them works against the plant. The product card gives 20 to 25 C (68 to 77 F) as the germination range.

When should I sow Samsun Abk 135?

The product card does not give a calendar date. It states that the plant matures about 70 to 80 days after transplanting and that it prefers a warm, moderate climate with ample sunlight, so plan the sowing so that seedlings are ready to move outdoors into full sun when the weather is warm.

How tall does Samsun Abk 135 grow?

The card gives a height of up to 120 to 150 cm (4 to 5 ft), with medium-sized, thin leaves. Treat this as approximate, since growing conditions change the final size.
