Malawi Style Cob Curing.

- Start date
Good to hear from you brother thats got to be the oldest cob I've seen here brings back good memories.
I had a good hit yesterday on some new Colombian Gold x Demon Latcher cob its still young but I doubled the dose and boy it was a great ride.
Was a bit down from recovering from a dose of flu it knocked the shit out of the flu I was bouncing around like a springbok ha ha.
about aug . or oct. will see what my little cobs are and if the type of bud makes a difference ,from cob#1 or cob@-#2,or the little cob today#3 is galactic runtz, this could be a happy new years , with 3 strains,i will most likely have a sample!

Hey guys I made a cob of kumaoni last year at some point and just found the rolled up bag. And when I say COB I mean that in the loosest possible way imaginable hahaha. I rolled it up in a Ziploc bag squeezed as much air as possible and basically left it. It was dry so I suspect not much fermentation happened, if any. But I have a plant of (Electric lady x Rainbow breeze) X Acid beauty. Accidental pollen from the AB in late flower. I made hash oil with the ELxRB and found some seeds. Straight into dirt, waste not wwant not. Which has a very fentrigo bud structure to and had a hard life so I will cob that and let you guys know the result 
Anyways enough waffle here's some "eye candy" hehe

I'm from Wales mate. Waffle = talking too much nonsense basically hehe
I vac sealed the last COB. The tightest I've ever been able to get one. It is hard. I'll leave it be and watch for any issues that would make me open it up. This one should be really nice. If no issues I need to decide how long I want it to ferment. I put it in a dark closet. I'll check it often to be sure I don't see any mold.
Nice and dark make sure its not too moist it looks moist from the picture.
Better dry it some more if it is.
Going on 4 months at the moment I dont try anything less than 3 months aged because the high changes so much in the first 3 months.
My absolute favorite cob is over a year old and sends me into fantasy land every time.
Mulanje x Malawi/Ethiopian its otherworldly and lasts all day long on 0.25g chewed, total escape from reality with no sedation.
I love the feeling as it it comes on its so overpowering lifts your mood up and up and just never stops ha ha.
It's not moist enough to be a concern. It was at 62% when I sealed it. Stableizing the moisture content is important. I do the same when sealing packs but at a lower RH% of 55-58%.. At 58% you can store long term without the fear of mold. I wanted a bit higher moisture level to help with fermentation. My 1st COB was to dry .
Is it still terpy? it looks cured either way very little green left, if you can still smell the terps even faintly it should be ok.Hey guys I made a cob of kumaoni last year at some point and just found the rolled up bag.

Then it looks killer I love the dark cobs very refined effects especially if you can keep the modified terps yum.
I didn't use the corn wrap this time. I didn't like the added aroma from it. Im hoping the banana paper leaves will smell of bananas or sweet still.
Banana leaves are earthy with a sweet aroma, a perfect addition to many dishes. Not only will they impart a delicious flavor and texture to many dishes, but they'll also make a kitchen smell pretty heavenly.

So I opened up the cobs today after being gone for about five days. They now have a lemon drop sort of sweetness with an obvious wet grass smell in the background. They don't feel wet but obvious have a bit of moisture in them (a touch spongy when squeezed).
I set out the ones in the pictures to dry out and basically move into the aging phase. I'm wondering if I should leave the rest out to dry a bit before curing them for longer, or if they should go straight back into the bag?

After about 12 hours air drying the cobs pictured above are now much firmer and lighter in color.
Kinda smells like a tasty organic version of an Orange flavored Tootsie Pop. Not sure if yall would be familiar with what those are. Basically an orange flavored lollipop with a chewy chocolate in the center. Type of candy you'd get after the doctors office
Any advice on what to do next with these cobs or the ones that got sealed up again before drying?
Thanks yall!

Yes thats a lot better dried its cured alright seal them up and age them but still open and dry further if they feel moist inspect regularly say every couple of weeks at least.After about 12 hours air drying the cobs pictured above are now much firmer and lighter in color.
