2018... My Most Challenging and Biggest Grow Ever--Levi Gross

[Levi Gross]

I am wondering about spraying it with food grade hydrogen peroxide

 

[deluxestogie]

I would move them somewhere for drying, and maybe even exposure to sunlight. The mold seems to be on the succulent stems. You can spray with the H[sub]2[/sub]O[sub]2[/sub].

In the past I often had mold on the stem of leafs that are air drying. Now when the leaf are brown I cut out the most part of the stem and put the leafs flat in a cardboard box to dry completly.

Levi, you have a most interesting grow .You will be fine . You had some great pics. I don't like any molds. You can separate the mold from your leaves maybe , it looks primarily on the stems.

I do exactly the same as Ciennepi, when the weather becomes too humid (soon in my location) I remove the main stem as soon as my leaves are "enough" color cured and I finish the drying on papers in my house.

Thank you BarG it was a real challenge to keep up with but we had a successful season!

I believe that I will try this course of action as soon as I get the free time thanks for the advice!

21 Day Kiln. Little Yellow Tobacco

 

[deluxestogie]

That's looking excellent for Little Yellow. I grew Little Yellow quite a few years back, and really enjoyed the round and full aromas, but I didn't achieve a really dark-air color.

Excellent work, brother.

 

[greenmonster714]

Very nice leaf.

 

[ciennepi]

Impressive size! But Little Yellow is a bright leaf or a cigar variety?

Dark Air Variety. From what I have read used in cigars

 

[deluxestogie]

Yes. Little Yellow is an heirloom, dark-air variety. Short stature, but large leaves. My Little Yellow was considerably milder than most other dark-air that I've sampled, but that may or may not have been a fluke. While growing, the leaves are a fairly light color, and densely covered with sticky trichomes (leaf hairs). Mine could have been used in just about any tobacco preparation (cigarettes, cigars, pipe, smokeless).

I think I may grow it again in 2019, now that I'm better at tobacco growing and curing than I was then.

My 2018 grow is officially done. I learned, I cursed, I failed and succeeded.

 

[deluxestogie]

Congratulations!
