I doubt they'll be ready for priming for another couple months.
My guess is that since they are forcing flowers already, and I'm getting offshoots at all the notches, they won't turn into "real" tobacco plants.
Thus, primings ain't gonna happen.
Best I can do is wait and see what happens.
What's gonna be cool is that these plants will look like none other because of holding them back. It'll very much change the plant structure and their habit.
They'll be much fuller, have hundreds more leaves, and be more like bushes than upright corn-stalky plants.
It's gonna be cool, even if it's totally wrong.

Cool!!! I know when I lived in Tennessee, they would hang them in the drying/curing barns and smoke cure them. The first time I saw that process, I thought someones barn was on fire!!! Then they would take the leaves and make a twisted/ braided chewing tobacco plug. Maybe if you have a smoker, you can cure some that way?

I love living vicariously through you.
