In july you cant even walk outside without a Beer or youll dry up like a stick of beef jurkey. Around here.
Must say you lot in the UK got BALLS growing tobacco.
Lived in the UK for 3 years, Litchfield, Midlands, and what I can recall the most was the s....t weather, 4 seasons in one day. Went back April last year for my sons wedding, and with my luck, the UK had the most rain in a hundred years.
But I must say, a beautiful country, rich in history and tradition.
Good luck with your crop.

I've had standing water since the beginning and am just now drying up. For your plants that are bolting, wait to top until the buds separate, just before they open. you'll get at least 8" more height. I've seen a lot of people top when they first see the buds and they loose overall plant size.
I seem to remember reading commercial topping is done when about 50% of the plants have first flowers just opening, so that would make sense. Thanks.
