Definitely the yellow ones. They are looking good, nice looking plants. Keep up the good work.

They are yellow twist bud (top) and Harrow Velvet (bottom).
Thanks buddy!
Definitely wilt them in the shade or in the box first.
Good looking Prilep. Those are gorgeous plants while growing aren’t they?

I'm surprised that's not getting censored
They are a wonder. Definitely the prettiest tobacco plants I have on the go. They smell delightful and are so easy to care for. If they are half as nice to smoke as they are to grow I'll be very happy.
Awsome, I'm definetly going to have to give those a shot this winter indoors and outdoors next year
. I'm thinking next spring I'll do a little landscaping out front with some of the varieties with different leaf shape. Maybe Prilep, habano 2000, little Dutch, staghorn, Florida Sumatra and Conneticut broadleaf. It's semi shady out front so the leaf shapes tend to become more pronounced - it should give the neighbors something to talk aboutYour pots with the extra holes seemed to have worked well.

I would yellow them in the box in my climate, We are moving to early spring over here so for me definitely box. For you I guess yellow them however you do. I would be careful about the sun as, yeah, they may end up crispy green compost.

I bet they would do well indoors given enough light, because you can pack them together pretty close. You can't tell from that pic that there are four healthy plants in that pot...I'm definetly going to have to give those a shot this winter indoors and outdoors next year

Cool, it looked like there were only two plants in the pic. Thanks, that gives me an idea of how tight to pack in some of my oriental seedlings I have just starting now.
I know leaf quality/flavor probably suffers indoors, but tobacco sure makes for fun houseplants and the winter grow can help restock the seed supply in the off season. Some of the varieties get totally different leaf shapes when grown indoors vs outdoors in the sun (habano 2000 is especially delicate looking indoors). It's brought me a lot of enjoyment, but I'm easily entertained
Are you going to collect seed? If not you might just top them and give them a few weeks before you stalk harvest while picking the yellow leaves in the mean time. Just my thoughts - a more experience grower my think differently.
I would leave the yellow leaves on the stalk, unless they are becoming tattered by the weather. Wait for maturation signs in the top leaf, then stalk-harvest and stalk-cure.

Are some Yellow Twist Bud and some Harrow Velvet in the photos? They are nice looking plants and I think Bob is spot on with his advise. I have never stalk harvested before so I passed on trying to guess. Best of luck with the rest of your harvest and cure.
Willdoski, thank you.
Thanks! The top picture is yellow twist bud in a pot, next one down is Harrow Velvet in a pot. Under that is ytb in the garden with Delhi 34 back to the left and Harrow velvet hiding behind it. Those in the ground are bigger, juicier and taking longer. The final snap is the pots again, left to right: Harrow velvet, Delhi 34, and ytb.
