plant them out with about 1-1.5 feet between each. water them in, and scatter crushed eggshells around the base. slug niggers are the enemy now, and they fucking love juice lil tobacco leaves. some people say to run things a bit dry at this point, to allow the roots to stretch/search for water. if it gets wet, obviously dial back/cut the watering. issue is plants getting pushed over by the wind in the late summer/ fall. once they are about a foot tall, start taking off the suckers; little side shoots (not leaves). they also come out of the base of the plant. you want one main stem. this suckering will need to be done a few times per week during peak season. you (i) also want (like) to snap off weak/damaged leaves, from the bottom. the plant responds to mechanical damage by making more nicotine, and shuttling it upwards. just make sure you snap them off (suckers and leaves) at the abscission layer (where it naturally breaks off).  soon the tip of the plant will start to divide, and form flower buds. it will do this kinda zigzag pattern, and you should cut the top off below this zig zag (keep the plant straight). suckers will quickly form after doing this. keep suckering/pruning until the leaves go wrinkly, crocodile skin-ish. taste the leaves; spicier means more nic. harvest from the bottom up, taking the ripe leaves, snapping them off from the trunk.
