Hey guys,
quick curing question (this is my first year growing and first batch of curing). I'm finding that my leaves are going more or less straight from green to brown with little obvious yellowing in between.
The first batch was Little Dutch (leaves were strongly alligatored, some yellowing/browning and some of the mud lugs were fully cured on the branch) and they've been hanging in the shed in quite rainy horrible weather. I was concerned that the lack of yellowing meant they were curing green but the color is quite dark and brown and not at all obvious like in some photos I've seen.
The second batch I took in last night was Izmir, I put it in my cozy-can overnight and again, its gone from green to light chocolaty brown with no obvious yellowing. As I write this, the leaves are still soft and pliable, the environment is at 37*C with humidity at 90%. Should I leave them a little longer or is it time to crank the heat up?
These have been in stark contrast to the few leaves I've taken of Cherry Red which goes through a very distinctive yellowing phase before curing. I'll try and get some photos up this afternoon if that helps
