That basket looks great.

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

The leaf in the pic. was in for 5 days @ 120 to 130deg. F. It still had wet ribs at the bottom of the cage. It has a whole lot to do with how wet it is when goin in. I think Im gonna put a small wood heater in the curein shed next year if I can find one that afordable.

 

[Boboro]

The frount sucker crop. The grass garden The horazonal growBanna leaf ??. I will get a lot in the top shed today if it dount rain. Im hangin lettin them wilt and then rehangin titely spaced. I think I canget em all in the top shed but I dont know know about the sucker crop.

 

[spencerpearson]

I got seeds started in the pie pan. Think just one inside in a 5 gallon bucket will be ok. Not logging it due to just testing to get ready for spring.

 

[Boboro]

Or a 1 gal. bucket. Its not going to get very big inside.It may get a little top heavy but you can keep more plants.

 

[spencerpearson]

When is the latest we can harvest here.

 

[spencerpearson]

Silk leaf is what got going.

 

[deluxestogie]

Tobacco will limit its size to the size of the pot (3" or 5 gallon). If you can keep it in a sunny spot through the winter, you can snip off all but about 1" of the stalk in the spring, and transplant it to the ground.

Did you get good germination? I have picked mators in Dec. here but mid Nov. is more realalistic.I lite frost is ok But 2 or 3 hrs. below 32 deg. F. will make the leaf useless. That goes for hangin leaf that has not cured too.

 

[Chicken]

on your idea of using a old wood burner [ potbelly oven's ] is what we call them here,

i think you'd have to have a full size '' old school'' curing barn for one of them to be usefull.????

it will generate too much heat for a small area, like me and you run,

ive spun the idea around in my head, [ i have acess, to a nice potbelly heater ]

 

[Boboro]

Im lookin at a small wood heater, Like you use in a tent. Ill use it to dry the air out. I may try to speed up yellowin and stem dryin.

www.sportsmansguide.com has those heaters every now and then. Some of them are genuine military surplus and some of them are civilian outfitters tent heaters. They come and go, if you're not in a hurry, just watch them every now and then. Also order the free catalogs, especially the military surplus one.

SG was out. I found this one at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/TMS-STOVE-2346-Portable-Military-Camping/dp/B002XNWC8A

Here's a cheaper one: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Mili...0964&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=tent+wood+heater

Ebay had these: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...e&_nkw=military+wood+stove&_sacat=0&_from=R40

 

[Boboro]

Thats the one I looked at the door dont seal well, But its cheap.

 

[Knucklehead]

Like i say, if you're not in a hurry wait on the military surplus one from Sportsman's Guide. The price is reasonable and it's the real deal. The Gov't probably paid $20,000.00 for it.

 

[Boboro]

I'll write down the site. Im gonna buy a cheap heater to warm up the shed. The cheap heaters are goin to be hard to control,But heat is heat and I need some bad.

 

[Boboro]

This is the baccer I could box if I had A little heat.The patch I finished today.

 

[spencerpearson]

Yeah they are popping up at 4 days in the pie pan under fluorescent light 3 inch way from them.

 

[Knucklehead]

Do you not prime the leaves off the plants you have bagged?

 

[Boboro]

Ive been busy. Does it make a diffrance?Stalk cut around 20 plants yesterday and they will have to wilt so I can squeeze them together. Its gonna be tite.

 

[Boboro]

The back yard sucker crop.
