    Ha ha!! found the awnser ...
    page 16....the drying tobacco should never leave case and should stay at about 85% until mostly brown....good luck
    I also read somewhere that casing at least once per day for quite a few hours is the minimum

    Awesome!! Its a growers bible.

    I snapped a few pics of my drying setup so I will see if I can post those in the next few days. Basically, I am using the old play house and have nailed up three twine strings to hang the hands on. I have had issues with getting the humidity up but since we are entering the rainy season hopefully that will help. I placed two 5 gal buckets filled with water to help bring it up but it only gets to 40-60 range.

    Ha ha ha... They look so good! I'm eager to see them when they have had some time to age.

    Yeh me too , im in the process of tweaking the fermenter right now and waiting for the final primings to dry(the photo is of the second primings) , its gotta be perfect, because once the fermenting process starts you cant stop it, one mistake could ruin it all. Keeping the RH at 65-75% at 50 while the temp is 130 degrees requires alot!!!!! of water
