I had a lot more blow downs

grab that plant and give it a little wiggle,,,

if it looks insecure, then stake it,,, today thats what i'll be doing grabbing the plant at the top, giving it a little shake, and possiblly staking it if i think it needs it,

and the ones that dont need a stake, is still getting a mound of soil placed at thir roots for support,,,

THE WIND WILL ALLWAYS BLOW IN AUGUST.

I think so. BT breaks down quickly. As long as you don't smoke it today or tomorrow :D

How is it you are deciding which leaves to take?
Looks like your on your way, I just hate interruption when busy I talk to much an nothing gets done.

If most of the plants got a little yellow its ready. burly plants are a little diffarant. They show yellow before they get big.

It depends on the plant and weather you're for cigars or ciggs. Some plants go at mature and some go at ripe DS will probably tell you which will best for type. Mine I wait for yellowing then if the leaf pops off with a little pressure then I'm ok with it.
