Malawi Style Cob Curing.

[Tangwena]

Haha sometimes it's fun to get a little scared or paranoid when you get really high. It adds a little something to the experience if you know what i mean. Not everyday of course

On the plus side it makes you tidy up all the roaches and little stashes you have all over the house ha ha.

 

[Tangwena]

I wonder what happened to Repuk...
Wherever he is I hope he's well...

He's good he is on a couple of private forums and still going strong.

Is Calle .2g over the line? It must have been a great Cobb. He will be back although it has been 5 days.

It has been years for Space Junk and he seemed to be really into posting stuff and then gone.

No quite safe a friend of mine chewed 2grams of a good cob he had made in Australia and spent all night out in his garden butt naked and wonderingly looking at the stars.
He reckoned he could see further than the Hubble space telescope and was using Dr who's Tardis to great effect.
He is a strange dude though.

@Hombre del mont , thanks very much for your help with this! I have the cob out of the bag and drying but I don't have a dehydrator so I'll see if I can get it dry enough just sitting out for a while. I guess if I'm going to be serious about this I might need to invest in a dehydrator to do this properly. Researching...!

Cheers!

do you think a fan would help pull the water out?(hillbilly style)

Wow! That's some good cob.

You could use a fan, or just leave it somewhere warm until the surface is dry; we're not trying to dry it completely.

I almost snorted my drink out of my nose I laughed so hard reading this. Especially seeing further than the telescope! I want to try that cob!

I'm hoping that my dark cure Zamal x Tom Hill haze might produce something similar.

I reckon if anything can that will ha ha.
I had a hit of my golden Mulanje x Malawi Ethiopian yesterday its been 3 days without it and was laughing my ass off all day.
Crazy thoughts coming and going along with lots of creative energy great combination.

Hey Gents, a quick question for the experts here... I've got some corn husks vacuum sealed from the last corn I could find here about a month ago. My plan is to use them for the Malawi Gold cobs that I have yet to assemble - it's currently hanging and drying slowly at about 60-62%RH and about 10C or 50F. I have some other strains that I grew this year that I want to try cobbing but I'm wondering what I should use to wrap them in.

I have some parchment paper, and also some Thai banana leaves that a friend dropped by that are vacuum sealed and a nice dark color. Which would you suggest? I think the parchment paper might be the way to go and roll them up using a sushi rolling mat before vacuum sealing and sweating?

I guess that I could try both if you thought it worthwhile - another chance to learn what different variables produce in the final product?


Thoughts? Thanks!

A few hours later... l have created three cobs using parchment paper and the sushi roller. In order, they are/ an F2 of Northern Lights #5 from this year, a Skunkwater x Pamdemic from last year, and a strain from Humboldt Seed co, called "Stoopid Fruits"!

Sweating commencing...

Any or all of the above would work fine even just rolled in the sushi mat and vacuumed without any wrapping works great.
The benefit of no wrapping is you can observe the changes as it cures making it easy to pick when to stop based on the visible colour changes as it cures.

Thanks @Tangwena , I greatly appreciate your thoughts on this!

Hi all,
I unwrapped the Saturn Citrus cob that has been sealed up at 80F/ 27C for 7 days and has it ever gone through a nice transition! Smells amazing, looks pretty good (?) - a little darker than I thought it might but at least for a first attempt it seems promising?
Question, so I should let it dry to the touch on the outside, then vacuum seal it up for about 30 days, checking on it occasionally? Also, is it important to rewrap it in the corn husks? I hope not, they kind of disintegrated when I unwrapped the cob - it's really sticky!
Thanks for your thoughts on this... and a few pics, cheers!

Yeah, just dry until the surface feels good and dry to the touch.

No need to worry about re wrapping in the husks, just chuck them in a vac bag

They look well fermented as Hombre said above dry them well and re seal to age.
If you let them ferment further you will loose terps and taste but not effects.

sound like a good thing to know about cobs,thanks tangwena !

 

[CDNINCA]

Amen to that @ost! The wisdom of experience is greatly appreciated by all who are helping this rookie learn. That little tidbit of information that Tangwena shared about how to save the terps and taste is what I'm trying to do - excellent @Tangwena, thanks!
