I don't think I'd be confident enough to plant them all in the same tray, I'm sure I'd get them muddled up somehow.
I know the strains (not big gem ) theres a lot differens how the leaves are placed...and in the end ..they end up in same blend ..Harrow Velvet looks almost the same as Golden Burley ..and ripe and cure same way
Most tobacco seed will germinate within 2 weeks, although some may take as much as a month. Also, ambient temperature can significantly affect germination time. Ideal germination temp 70-80°F (~21-27°C).

I'm growing Harrow Velvet myself this year and I was planning on Big Gem as well but changed my mind so I'll be interested to hear how your Big Gem turns out.I know the strains (not big gem ) theres a lot differens how the leaves are placed...and in the end ..they end up in same blend ..Harrow Velvet looks almost the same as Golden Burley ..and ripe and cure same way
Im back ....life itself can be unfair....
Rain rain rain ...cold at night ..more rain ..still.... I think its okay ...I plantet outside 4/5 and it seems to grow alright..from left 3 rows Golden Burley ..1 row of Harrow Velvet...and 1 row of Virginia Gold
Still I think I need to give some Fertilizer ..looks a little yellow...

Hey @cavedane ! Hope the situations in life & work settle a bit for ya. Sounds to me like you have a good outlet to help keep your mind from racing around for awhile. Your plants, use of space, and overall grow look fantastic to me! Every time I’d look at that patch of tobacco plants like yours, it would put me into a “zen” & happy place! Can’t wait to see how the rest of the season progresses for ya!!!

Wow that's an impressive crop! Maybe I need to start shopping for a rototiller, I have a row of 21 plants, and that gave me blisters.Now 6 days with almost summer-temps.

45-60 f..for the next 9 days...no summer fore me . But on the bright site ..i dont need to water and it goes allright I think .Yesterday i picked +300 leaves from G Burley and Harrow Velvet.. cant even see it.
They are laying on my heatet flor inside.. to yellow. Later they will hang in my garage with better airflow.
By the side.. I have made some bonsai Samsun ...wonder if its works out ..no sun for curing. Very small leaves og very sticky .
My Big Gem did not germinate ...but one single little bad looking seedling came up a last...now ready to flower.

No time fore laying inside ..I found that there was some moist in the leaves ..so I just hang them in my shed.... 285 G Burley and 105 H Velvet.
Then I went fore a walk in the garden and found this sad plant ..half eaten by snails ...??? is this a tobacco plant ???
The struckture of the venes and the attach to the stem looks the same .. suckers also ..
Can I have your opinion. Please.

That does look like a tobacco plant. The jagged holes are typical of grasshopper or cricket damage, but the damage showing stripped central veins immediately suggests to me the herbivory of a tobacco hornworm (Manduca spp.). I don't know if there are similar species in Europe. Examine the undersurface of the leaves.
