log roller

Hey folks, what's up? This thread is to discuss a new way of curing cannabis, called log rolling. We will be producing a new type of cannabis product, known as logs. Come on in...
Let me start by giving credit to Tangwena, whose thread "Malawi style cob curing" has been inspiring. It was his thread which got me thinking of a new and better process for curing weed. His method, a modification of ancient cannabis curing practice from Malawi Africa, involves wrapping buds tightly in corn cobs, vacuum sealing them, then heating to a certain fixed temperature to "cook" them for a period of time, which results in color change (browning, darkening) and considerably improved potency and effect, especially when the cob is allowed to rest for a couple months afterward. This process also makes the weed edible, with high potency.

There has been some attempts in that thread to theorize why and how this works. One person helpfully suggested looking into tobacco curing practice to get some clues. After studying that subject, specifically the process of flue curing, I designed a curing barrel to try this idea on weed, with excellent results. Here this experiment is documented.
All of the details of this process are not yet worked out. There is much more experimentation needed to be done, but this thread will hopefully get the gears turning in people's heads, and we can figure this out together.
Here is one of the plants we will be working with, a nice pheno from my breeding project. The strain is called Bubba Gah and it's a cross of pre-2010 Serious Seeds Bubblegum with a unique Afghan strain called Lashkar Gah.
(I ask those of you who find this thread in the next few minutes, to please hold your comments until after I finish uploading the pictures and explaining. Thank you!)
