Malawi Style Cob Curing.

pooman said:

hey Fellas..love the fucking info/content, my god, this is the secret I've been seeking...I have a guy that always has incredible bud..I feel like he does a similar dry/cure...but I think his people spray hash oil on the buds before cure..it always has a danky hashy musk to his product..

but I digress..I'm gonna bypass a glass Jar because of my belief that they are effected to severely by room temps. I'm gonna order https://www.bing.com/search?q=food+...F3144641992D32B187A570A2&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl=

I guess you could always use a salad spinner insert too for the volume!

some cheese containers and vac pack when done with initial sweat/5-7 day warm cure...I hope my sous vide device can handle 5-7 days 84 Degrees...sorry guys..I don't humor Celsius jk..but I'm stoked...Reading this info made me reminisce on some of my best dry/cures..I always found my April harvests were best, because of the warm weather in SouthWest where I am probably helped with a ferment that I always was afraid of, since most of the material I read was always to gear towards a 14 day full plant hang w/leaves and to a bagging/jarring with periodic sweats and was always instructed to leave in a "Cool/Dark" place..now I feel like a little warmth to the buds are actually necessary for all these extra compounds/bacterias to marry...I'm gonna vac pack trimmed bud from a chocolope I have hanging right now (9th day of hanging a reasonably large plant, it's just about right for crispy outside/soft center/reasonable bent crackle but not snap on the branches), and use that cheese press container, and then I'll be harvesting/drying a small 3 gall that realistically has 2 gal's in it's Malawi/SSH (or Peach Hashplant? I had two males that run hit the Malawi...don't know what seeds got what pollen..exciting), it smells like Candy and spice in flower, and foxtail profile..i'll try to take some pics...but it's got two but fucking stocks and beautiful buds on it...really wanted to cure the buds since they looks so incredible..but it's fucking Malawi, and it's mother didn't get cobbed and dried so fast..that bud ended up being meh, but the child has some potential and will be getting cobbed like a son of a bitch

Thanks again all

Chocolope cross with ssh? And or peach hashplant...it's a rock vac pac going in for 100f ...it's a tad crispy as it's been cold ...9 day hang dry..I think the big buds have enough juice though to get it Goin...stoked

My next harvest will be that malawi cross with the same males previously mentioned...I'll Cobb that sob when it's dried which may take a few days since it's a relatively small plant

so I wrote a very angry post earlier..but basically...I bought a new sous vide..didn't realize if I unplug it, it loses settings...so when replugged it defaulted to 140DegreesFarenheit and when I was half asleep I took a piss this morning I walked by saw it...went 9pm to 330am...fucking really upset about this...time/money..just annoyed..I dunno, I lowered temps to 80 degrees..I'm just pissed about this..Hope it's not a total lose..but I probably cooked the stuff

It'll be fine; perhaps a little darker than it would have otherwise been off the temperature were lower but it'll still "bend you silly".
Perhaps open it up and have a sniff, let it dry off if need be and then just revac it and leave it somewhere warm for a while.

Done that, with the oven just trying to get a little warmer because not sunny enough for a car dashboard sweat. Forgot, and came back to bulging with steam vac seal bags, at about 200 degrees. Brown and cooked smell, not the same but it all got consumed still. 140 should have more terps left...
A new test for the thread, just hard when you arent prepared for the sacrifice of tests.
Hope it is ok and glad you have another harvest soon to keep ya up.

I'm sorry that happened Sneezy, we're you able to salvage any of it? Or turn into edibles?

I'm really hoping I didnt cook it too much last night, I'm return that goddamn sous vide...the touch screen blows

I'll report what happens next in this whirlwind I blew up

I love you boys thank you for pushing me through this here's a pic after opening just now after work... didnt smell or look too bad!

Get a vac again and put it back in the bath at 84 degrees, will update in a week with pics, ( good god please no mold!)

Looks like it could be really good.

I've found that a style with fewer lumps and bumps on the external surface (cylinder, puck or pressed block) seems to work better in that bag contact is complete on each and every seal.
Sometimes when you have a little crevasse or cavity from the initial sweat and dry the bag doesn't sit tight to the cob completely everywhere and some moisture and oxygen may linger in those empty spaces unless very well dried, leading to greater need for checking and drying, down the line

Hmmm—does this look like mold to y’all?

Wasn’t any white on it when I sealed it up three weeks ago

This is the wettest cob, 40g at harvest, 20g when sweated, currently about 16g, estimated 10g fully dry

Checked some of my cobs and canary buds I made 3 to 5 days ago.































The drier buds still have a way to go but these were the moister buds and I dried them for 6 hours in the shade.































These have had no sweat just vacuum bagged and left in the garage in 30c+ ambient temps long slow cure.
