going for the best cigg bacca grow this year ; my selection

[Chicken]

theres so many different strains of bacca out there. it's impossible to have the best selection without trying the grow first,

im looking for a mild cigg... a big leaf plant that produces many leaves and cures well and easilly,

my grow this year will be '';;

YELLOW TWIST BUD [ tried and proven a big plant with mild flavoured leaves ]

VIRGINIA BRIGHT LEAF ;; [ ^^^^^^^^^ same ]

BAFRA ; [ a turkish blens untried ]

BARNETT SPECIAL ;; [ untried ]

YELLOW LEAF ;; [ untried ]

DUKAT CRIMEAN; [ untried ]

HELENA ; [ untried ]




if youve grown these strains some input would be helpfull.

Barnett Special is a fantastic burley, you'll definitely get the most bang (leaf) for your buck. Barnett is very simular to a burley I grew N7313, a monster of a plant. If your looking for milder cigs, go with more fluecured varieties. African red or lemon bright (very similar plants in appearance) grow tall and large leafed, as in 10-12 feet tall 24-30 leaves per plant and they air cure in summer temps to a beautiful bright yellow.
A oriental I would recommend would be izmir. My main stay orientals are izmar, bursa, and prilep P66-9/7. the prilep has a bergomot (earl grey tea) type smell when being harvested. prilep gets a fantastic (more then you can count) amount of leaves.
An addition, a nice dark air cured adds a little niceness to a cig blend, One sucker and greenwood are my go to's.

You see, I have over 200 varieties of baccy but I'm certainly not going to grow them all...again, like i did in my great seed producing year. I wanted to come up with a nice cig blend to grow that involves only 10-12 varieties (my 2014 grow log has my seed grow out list) and the 2015 was another grow out from the grin request although I did grow few other varieties other than that. So far, most of what I grew in 2016 were the winning blend, but still at 36 varieties. this year I'll make it 12-15 varieties to grow.

12 = 15 is still a lot of varities....im trying to get it down to the '' perfect 5 ''
