Why is my plant bending?

Heavy? Overwater? Not enough water? I have no idea why it's happening, the second photo is from the same batch of Anatolian and looks better

Curious what’s happening.

Two of my plants have exploded in size and the first one looks like it’s splitting into two. Any advice

Edit: these are Hopi tobacco

Maybe a lil overcrouded

6 tobacco in raised bed (3 Havana, 3 Connecticut broadleaf)

Crazy winds and weird weather but they seem to be ok.

Day 57: It's officially hot in Montreal, 34'C with humidex. Time for a good watering and a bit of Shultz concentrate.

First time grower in upstate NY

Frankly was worried about the growing process due to the constant temp fluctuations up here. Have kept them inside with a grow light for the most part, allowing them some true sun when it gets warm.

Day 56: Had a hot sunny day yesterday, today hot and muggy with some rain earlier today. Plants are happy. Have a great week everyone!

How does growing multiple varieties and seed saving work?

How do you grow multiple varieties and save seeds? Do you have to pick one and deflower the rest to prevent mutt seeds or how does that work? I guess I don't have a basic understanding of this. I've heard something about having to keep varieties separated by big distances and such but I see people on youtube seemingly growing them side by side.

Should I cut small and new, lower leaves?

I've noticed some of my repoted plants have been growing these new small leaves, near the base (photo 2), should I cut them or let them grow?

Day 18

Thinned out the cells last Thursday this us how they are now. Going to thin them out again this Thursday because some late bloomer seeds decided to shoot out too. Only had 3 not survive after being thinned out but I think that is fine since there are so many now. I even started a new tray for Havana for wrapper leaf. These ones in the picture is criollo 98. Figured I should a different kind of leaf for my wrapper .

Let me know your thoughts!

Should I replant to bigger pots?

First ones are going into soil in a week, some of them I will keep a bit longer. Only the strongest get a spot in my garden, one strain each. The rest will go into nature and we will see how they can handle themselves

Can I expect any results?

I have experience gardening, but I'm a first time grower.

On a whim, I got 1k seeds of mohawk tobacco. And I got a late start and just sewed the seeds yesterday in about 7 large pots. I'm located in western Massachusetts.

Can I expect them to grow and get any kind of harvest?

I know everything I did was suboptimal lol. But it was a gamble on less than $10 worth of seeds, so I don't mind eating the loss.

What dat isss? A problem?

Couple things I can suggest as the cause. First is the holes may be from weedeating around it to fast. But the brown spots I’m unsure. There’s a Chinese tallow shaking pollen above it rn,that’s what the li brown things are, it’s pollen stigmatas(?) I wanted to make sure this isn’t a disease like I read on google. But I didn’t see any bugs or caterpillars on em just now either. So I’m unsure. I am in Louisiana so humidity is another possibility. Or sun burn… so I’m asking experienced eyes lol. Also if it’s water related lmk what a humid climate should aim for, should I just let nature handle them?

Late start 2 weeks in

Didn't get a headstart this year. I got lucky to get some of last minute seeds collection of WinChunKing. The Red Russian/Petit Canadien Hybrid is very strong.

Second photo is backup for isolation

I'll be patient
