I have had nice plants and good leaf size my first two grows, but something is missing. Leaf continues to cure thin and without the weight I feel it should have. A pile of several hundred mid ribs looks like a pile of pine straw. I feel like my yield weight is half or less than it should be for the number of leaves.
Is there something in the growing I am missing? Or could it be as simple as the weather which I cannot control? Last year was record rains and this year was chance of rain almost daily (both mean lots of cloudy days). Have I just been stuck with the equivariant of shade grown tobacco, due to weather?
Each leaf takes the same amount of work, from harvest to smoke so I would really like to figure out a remedy for the thin leaves/low yield per leaf by weight.
