In case it helps anyone else, here was the productivity by variety for our first year grow in zone 8a (cured, dried and de-stemmed at the end of the season). Thanks to SkyChaser for the seeds.
TN 90 LC: 6.0 ounces / plant
VA Gold and VA 116: 4.4 ounces / plant
Black Sea Samsun: 1.3 ounces / plant
Aztec / Rustica: 0.9 ounces / plant
Productivity could have been better if we had more time available to really give the plants all the attention they needed. And a lot of our Samsun didn’t cure right so results may vary there. I’m interested to see how this compares to other people’s results, we definitely learned a lot.
