Brown Thumbs 2014 Whatever

[Brown Thumb]

At first blush, it does look like Frenching. Post pics at weekly intervals. Could be viral.

A week later worse, 3 plants now. Rainey and wet up here for the last week.
Another problem also. I have seen this before but don't remember, brown spots on leaf?

That last photo could be Tobacco Etch Virus [http://fairtradetobacco.com/threads/950-Tobacco-Etch-Virus-(TEV)]
or
Weather Fleck [http://www.ipmimages.org/browse/subthumb.cfm?sub=6939&area=62]

Etch virus spreads, but very slowly. Slow enough to not worry about it. Weather fleck is not contagious, and there's not much to do about it.

I pulled and disposed of a Burley that had that or similar yesterday. Pretty sure that is viral.

Thanks Guys, I have been searching the pics and still scratching my head. I would lean towards weather fleck.
Or even phosphorous deficiency. But there is spots on some other plants also just a couple here and there.
I will just keep a eye out on them before I yank them.

I finally got the Drowned Mud Puppies in over the weekend.
Mud and roots what a pita. They all went in the ground regardless of there size.
Planting starts and I have others about ready to flower. What a messed up year.

If you really want to pluck on our heartstrings, you can't post a pic like that last one. It looks like a thriving, commercial tobacco vega in Cuba! All the extra work aside, I think you are looking at a bumper crop.

How long are those rows? They look good from here.

Thanks, Bob
The last pic is 1/3 of the patch only about 250 plants.
If Mother Nature stays on my side this year I think they may grow a little bigger than my dwarfs I grew last year.
A lot of them have buds all ready and suckering like crazy on the bottom leaves.

Plants are on 2 ft centers, rows are 200 Ft. With 6 ft. Wide access path every 25 plants.

Access paths is one thing I totally failed to take into account. My rows are 100 ft. with no access path between. I'll definitely have them next year. You have a well planned lay out.

Was a tough start but sure looks good now.

Thanks, Knucks
It should make life a lot easier at harvest time.
I got the idea from here I forget who posted it, Sorry to whomever deserves the credit.

Thanks, I had a rough start but it seems almost everyone has had there problems this year.
My heart sank when I saw Boboro's patch.
We got some sun and heat for a couple of days thank The Lord it has been a while.

I was speechless when I saw that.
Raising them little pups out of diapers then into the real soil then watch the go into teenager days.
Only to have Mother Nature tear Them from You before graduation is not Fair.
I got my Brown Thumbs up for you. You will come out Smoking, No pun Intended.

Thank You, And Bob for the Idea, It makes life a lot easier getting into and out of patch without killing them.

My White Stem Orinoco is almost ready to flower in a day or two.
But it is only 32 in. tall. I see orinoco grows to 6 Ft. But can not find an info on white stem Orinoco.
Anyone grow it before and remember its size?
