Malawi Style Cob Curing.

@gumzgi it's hard to be precise about timing.
It really depends on how wet they are going into the bag. Providing there is not too much moisture in them them of leave them for 2 or more months before I opened them.
If I'm truly honest, I don't have any set times, I just do what I feel is right at time time. Try asthma let your instincts and your nose tell you what's happening.

Spoken like a true master curer the magic is in your own hands its just practice and intuition.
To me everything about it is like witchcraft ha ha.
Today I had 2/3 Colombian gold/Demon Latcher and 1/3 Mulanje seeded my god thats a heady mix. I think I'm def onto something with this mixing/blending caper, super effective using these two cobs.

We very much like to mix ours up too.

50/50, Original haze and anything is good! The haze ads an extra clarity to everything.

I agree this Colombian x Demon Latcher has Haze in it, plus Colombian was probably the original back bone of what people call Haze.
The high is driven but too monotone in its effects for my taste by adding a bit of Mulanje to the mix it opens a lot of doors for other effects that I love.

I'm going to try the reverse mix today 2/3 Mulanje and 1/3 Colombian/Demon Latcher
And I have a dozen or so Mulanje Gold and Mulanje /Malawi Gold cobs aging getting ready to test in August as well as the four phenos cobs of Colombian/Demon Latcher ha ha.
Life is so exciting these days ha ha. I cant wait to get the boat in the water and drift away into the sun ha ha.

Hey Hombre I have a question for you, when do you kick up the nutes for your Tigers? CL

For me as an outside grower last time out I tried not to add any extra nutes at all. On my two previous grows I'd added extra food during flower and burnt them. On my last time out I only added a little extra liquid PK about 3/4 of the way through flowering, And I still managed to burn them a little, but my yield was over double previous attempts.

You might be better off posting your question in the Golden Tiger thread; there's a lot of very experienced GT growers in there who are growing in indoors with nutrients.
Also there's a much greater chance that Dubi will answer your question if its posted in that forum.

I just chop the buds off the sticks and compress.
You can just take whole colas and stick a few of those together.
I wouldn't grind or cut the buds in anyway.

Has it changed colour? Has the smell changed?, If so, dry to the touch and revac for some time, before re drying.

gumzgi · Jul 1, 2023

the smell changed totaly its smells very fruity like a shampoo perfume i let him dry now and it stinks so nice you want to smell it non stop , the color from original it changed but not alot, i let this branch dry for 5 days

Hombre del mont · Jul 1, 2023

Sounds good. Let the surface dry well and then revac it. Leave it somewhere warm for 2months (but check it after a week or so just in case it's a little too moist).

Congratulations on the nice looking start @gumzgi , sounds like you are well on the way to a great cob! I find it amazing how the smells evolve and improve! Well done!

Finally unsealed and sampled one of the Ace Auto Zamaldelica cobs from January

Kind of a sweet smell that faded within a minute or two after unsealing

Currently chewing 0.2g—very spicy/resinous, with a lingering hint of the initial sweetness

Nice colors should be nicely cured by now.

I just hope the weed stores well in the vac bag packs.

They dry it so far past curable it doesn't matter, it never had a chance.

bigtacofarmer · Jul 1, 2023

I read thar wrong. I thought he meant weed at stores.

Testing bottoms of some haze buds. Vision blurred. Plus I tripped last night to celebrate new bike day.

Yeah, it totally is

I think you’re right, Tangwena—it’s better to cob on a bit on the drier side—this one was the only one that didn’t mold, it was the driest at 30% of harvest weight (harvested at 40g & cobbed at 12g after a little over 3 days to dry)

Plus it spent most of it’s life nearly dry, but compressed and sealed (close to 25% of harvest weight or 10g—this is the “completely dry” weight at 62% RH)

Is anyone who is cobbing on any immune suppressants? Or have inflammatory issues? If so... any adverse reactions? I am starting to think thc and cbd gummies have been aggravating an inflammatory issue I have, instead of helping.

i have had no issues with straight thc gummies , no sign of cancer in my blood stream, dead cells or live ,after chemo!9 months clear now.
