Brown spots show during the curing process.

[KautabakMann]

Hello,

I started growing my own tobacco for the first time this year and after harvesting the leaves I hung them in my shed. Now brown spots appear on some of the leaves. Is this normal or is it a fungus?

Greetings from Germany and thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forum. Feel free to introduce yourself in the Introduce Yourself forum. If you can post a clear photo of the spots, that may help in answering your question. (The forum is currently experiencing some difficulty with photo uploads and links. Just keep trying.)

Leaf discolorization in the form of spots or patterns is pretty normal for color cured tobacco. The color will only be more uniform if you kiln your leaf.
Or as bob said just take a photo and try to upload it.

Also nice to see some more younger growers from germany

Thanks for the answers guys! Uploading doesn't seem to work out. However I could find pictures of air cured tobacco which shows the exact same pattern and color as the leaves I have. I think it will work out fine.
