Hey guys. This is my first year where I have gotten to the harvest stage. That being said it's my third year attempting tobacco (the first two years my green thumb hadn't formed yet, it was more a browning color) . I have some questions, and some pictures, and I'm hoping the guys here on the forums could help with their collective knowledge.
I've searched the forums and can't seem to find the right answer to my question so here it goes... I have several leaves I've picked off due to bottom priming and what not, and decided to hang them up for the hell of it to see what happens. I have them hanging by fishing line in my garage with the garage door open at all times at the edge of the garage where sun light can get in.
Here are my questions:
Within a week I already have a few brown leaves and most are yellowing within a day. Is this too fast? Is it ok if it cures that fast? I have no idea so that is why I am asking.
Also, I've been trying to keep them some what moist with distilled water in a spray bottle but some of them seem to be drying up fast even during the green to yellow stage.
most seem to curl up and are a bit crinkly but not to where it falls apart when touching them. Is it ok that they curl like that?
Last question, some of them are a blackish green color, what does this mean? Is it mold or is it just curing that way? Is this ok as well?
