Thank God for the kiwis, Man you guys have kept the growing and priming and harvesting and curing season going year round. Were still getting plants in the ground.You guys made for an interesting winter and I thank you for your grow logs and such.

i dont pile cure my leaves, but they are strung up very close to each other, so i guess the pile curing method does p[lay in them, i just dont stack them, and rotatate them like a lot of folks do,

and i agree, as allready stated, your leaf looks good, with no critter holes in them,

the whole sheds pretty full I'm gonna have to put some more line up I've got about the same amount of regrowth on my Havana to..so I'm guna have to do that soon..I've just been putting it off till I get more string..but been doing a twin line set up and twist drop method of hanging..I think it has to be the fastest way I've seen yet..kind of similar to how that hand auto harvester that someone posted on here..that puts a twist between each leaf..I'll try to post a vid soon (when I suss out how??)

not to sure mike..I ripped it off an old line of shop fridges at the dump..its got a bit of a hum when it's running.but does the trick..I've been keeping a pretty good eye on the leaf at the mo. cause its wet and raining most the time here (about 85% rh & app.65f) it'll mold quite easy inthe shed at the moment. I'll have a look in the morning what type of fan it is (its 4:14am.sun) I should be in bed asleep.but all good
