Yeah you have. To watch em. I was going to cob my last batch but life got in the way and i missed my mark. They were good to jar, but i thought to dry to cob. My bad.
Malawi Style Cob Curing.

Check out this resin I got on some pieces of dust and broken cob from cutting it up.
Now I know why I'm so high crazy potent stuff. One shot of the melted golden honey resin all collected by the plant.
The other of the blood red resin I love to see this stuff as well.

Yes that is a common mistake first time. Its surprising how green you can use them compared to drying them.
Luckily the window for using them is quite broad I prefer them 3 to 4 days slow dried. But I have to watch the process to get them at the right time.
Hiya friend, just getting caught up on your thread over here. Looks like you've made some more converts here T! lol
not sure why people scoff at this idea, best curing method I've ever tried. if people keep an open mind, they will be surely rewarded. cob on

Hey there HaHaHashish. did the same thing with some chocolope first go around. kind of got the feeling the flowers were too dry as they did like yours and barely got any sweat initially. also became hard as a rock after two week cobb process. i did compress them really hard though in a pvc tube before wrapping.
a week later made another cobb from same plant and didn't let the flowers dry out as much. much more moisture showed up after initial sweat and smelled stronger throughout process. a bit stickier too which is indicative of the jar cured chocolope flowers. also used the pvc compressor tube on second go round.
in another couple months we'll know the difference between jar cured flowers, jar ready flowers made to cobb, and to wet for jar ready flowers made to cobb of the chocolope as results will be shared here.
glad there was enough for a second attempt at cobbing with the chocolope. felt like the first cobb reflected inexperience quite well. lol.
Nice experiment man please post some nice pics of all three when you post your results.
Best of luck my friend big ups to you for giving it a go.
The resin was cloudy and clear before the cure its the cure that gets the resin this color.
Depending on the temps you use you can get resin from cloudy to honey, amber and even a dark red and burnt amber.
All effect you differently as you would imagine.
The difference is the amber you get from this cure is not narcotic its more clear and mind expanding kind of high very deep and powerful.
This is what you shoot for once you get a handle on this cure with a bit of practice you can dial up a resin color from a plant harvested with clear or cloudy resin.
There is an art to it it does take a bit of practice but if you follow the recipe you will not ruin the buds and stand a chance of getting it spot on first try.
The resin change and the smooth smoking are the main benefits of this cure. The changed resin color is reflected in the clear cerebral high effects from smoking.
I am not sure what you mean but it sounds like more of a stone than a high and for that you need the right strain to start with.
I always want a high that clears my mind and has a long effect.
The effect I like is one that makes me happy, intelligent and able to think things out, all while feeling like I am removed from the world and outside of normal life like a spirit or untouchable.
In other words something that makes you feel euphoric and tripped out in another dimension for as long as possible.

These two have been sealed for 11 days total and checked at day 7. The smell definitely changed and buds were moist; so I'm pretty sure it's working as you described even though I had to do it differently. I figured if the buds were still moist, I had moist cob material and got the heat up enough to make them sweat, it would still work.
Definitely not to the degree that I'd be able to get if I did it properly, enough though to make difference and get a little taste of what you are talking about. I'm really excited to give it a try.

Nice if you got the sweat fermented smell they will be fermenting the rest is in the lap of the gods.These two have been sealed for 11 days total and checked at day 7.

Thanks for posting they look good from here.
Please post pics when you open them we will be able to tell if the fermentation has taken effect.

They have been sealed for 11 days. Do you think that is enough or do you think I should keep going before I let them dry for a few days and then reseal for long term curing?

It wouldn't hurt to break off a piece to try, then reseal the rest for a full cure.

I was going to wait until the initial cure was done, dry them out for a few days, take a piece to try it out and reseal the rest. I'm not sure 11 days is long enough for the initial cure before drying.

It's plenty bro. You will definitely perceive a positive difference from what you started with. Pinch you off a couple bowl's worth and try it. You may find it difficult to keep from unsealing the bag and sampling more.

Plus take some pictures while you're in there, to show your result and verify you got a good coloring.

What should I be smelling to know when to stop?
The only way I can describe it is take the essence of the smell that the buds give off prior to the sweat and make it sweeter and ripe like ripe fruit.
To get an idea you have to keep experimenting but the basic recipe of 1 to 2 weeks is good enough to put you in the ball park.
Its something you cant describe in words but you will pick it up very quickly.
Everyone I know who is good at this is addicted to that smell and when you first open the vac bag with a ripe cob or cure you will understand believe me.
Its not hard I could show you but I would have to be in the room with you.
