[AmaxB]

woo you got plants growing upside down, I see some good lookin leaves there. That blond went by and I never even noticed..

 

[Boboro]

She noticed, I had storms all round, not a drop. Didnt cut no bacca cause it was full of worms. Sprayed all afternoon. Dont even get me started on the afids. nasty little basters.But all is good here cause I got cheap beer!

 

[Fisherman]

I had cutworms hit my hanging stalks last month... They do eat as long as it is green for sure.

 

[Boboro]

The patch I want to stalk cut had afids and I killedthem with Dawn dish soap.It hasnt rained enuff to wash the soap off and the dead afids look horable. I was thinkin Id go out thir and hose them off,just give them shower.

I Got some primed leaf with a little mold on the tip. If I put it in a dry kiln @ 130 deg. F for a week will it kill the spores.

Even with the clouds it to hot to work very long.When you start seein Mirage bugs flyin round your head its time for a break.

A temp of 130ºF will kill any growing mold, but it won't kill mold spores. I'd suggest removing the moldy tips, then spritzing the leaf lightly with 1/2 strength vinegar or with hydrogen peroxide before going into the kiln.

I just went through it and tossed any thing that looked bad.Didnt get to chop baccer yesterday. rained about 12:00 and never dryed good. The plants I let yellow almost to the tgp are curein a lot faster so Im just gonna slow down and cut them.

 

[Knucklehead]

I'm still getting showers too. Just enough to keep everything from drying out. I've also been getting rain while the sun is shining and it seems to be causing spots on the leaf.

 

[Boboro]

Im cuttin in the sunny spots this morin. I look for rain after lunch.

 

[Boboro]

iT looked like the same storm that hit me yesterday, on the radar Around the same time.By the time the plant dry off it rains. Just enuff to soak leaf.WTH.

I Always LIKE when they cut the bastardshead off at the end.

 

[Boboro]

I had a little mold on some primed leaf in this side of the shed. The floor was a little damp so I put a plastic sheet down. A few plants I have hangin in the open shed. The patch Im cuttin in.

 

[Knucklehead]

Looks like your going to fill a few beer boxes again this year. Do you think you'll have time for a sucker crop?

 

[Boboro]

I have some suckers that Will make a nice crop. the late start messed me up on curein space and a cool damp july hasnt helped.

 

[Boboro]

Leaf I had in a dry kiln to dry the midrib.Hangin in the top shed.Ill go back and hang them closer when thet wilt.

How long did you say that it takes the midrib to dry, and the temp.
Sorry to ask, i'm sure you posted it.
