Holy shit my nightmares look like this. If you didn't catch them in the act the plant probably would've been gone... Though it's not that small anymore, they might have left some stems for you to chew on... Damn slugs!

high @ all,
here are some cured bud pic's from the first Malawi...
we'll first notice is the smell... the jar cured smells like hay or old grass you all know it... but the vacuum cured smells sweet vanilla wood orient... very very tasty!
Just smoked a small bud from booth and i can say the vacuum cured is smokable but the jar cured not... also i noticed that the vacuum cured is stronger and smokes very very well! Also our drummer was amazed from a small puff yesterday...he direct felt in love with the smell and taste... wow this Malawi is really strong!
I still have in 3 GT & 1 Malawi going and we have week 14 in flower now... the Malawi and one GT looking ready for harvest but i wait this time a bit longer... need more amber
hope to finish them all @ end of the Month... the other lady's are waiting...

Malawi1 jar cured 3 weeks

Can you just explain the vacuum cure?
They look nice, both plants and flowers.
And that hiding place is magnificent
Stoner rock band is it?

i got the idea from tangwena... he does it the Malawi way you can read it in his Malawi thread and also in the Zamaldelica thread https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=7020016&postcount=112
so basically after drying when they hold 63% humidity in jar then put the bud's in a vacuum bag for min 3 weeks to how long you like it... i did a first test with a early harvested bud and the result is superb' never mind... i used vacuum jar's before to speed up the cure process but the compressed vacuum method is faster... maybe better... have to do more research on this... long time storage for example... the taste, smell and high is really great...
and yes Stoner Rock/Phychadelica haha
maybe one time you see a Rock Band and on stage you see the big amp's with ACE sticker on it... that's me
Hi Padrone i leave it a day after removal from the corn so 24hrs after, its still moist but semi dry, if you use it green you need to be careful of mold forming.So 24 to 48hrs after removal its still pliable enough and you want it a bit moist to start the cure, without it it will not cure the buds quickly.
Buds just vacuum sealed on their own are very slow to cure compared to wrapping in the corn husks which only takes 2 to 3 weeks in the vac bag.

confused
are u saying its 2-3 weeks in the vac bag or in the corn husks??I just cut a GT down (after 130days), let them air dry for 5days, and then I vac sealed them and now they are stored in a dark cool basement... I'm thinking i'll keep em stored for 3-4mos?? am I correct??..thanks

I believe you rap them up and tie the husk around the buds and then u vacuum seal. that is in tang Malawi thread. you can look at it and he has explained it with pic's
hope it helps
hope it helps
ahhhh... I have to re-read it... I thought it read u can vacuum seal the buds instead of putting it in a husk, and burying it...
Zach you dry the buds to just smokable not completely dry. Then wrap them and bind them in the maize leaf. Then vacuum seal them.
You can vacuum seal the buds without wrapping them but they will take a lot longer to cure.
I only vacuum seal the cobs to reproduce the effect of burying them. Burying them is too hit and miss. I have tried it and many things can go wrong.
In the vac bag you can inspect them any time and re vac the bag. If done correctly it turns most of the clear or cloudy trichs a lovely golden color. This effects the taste and potency of the buds IMO. All I know is its better than the same buds jar cured.
I always vac cure my buds and cob cure in the same bag, as the sweating cob sets of the cure in the loose buds. It gets quite wet during the cure process and sometimes need to be removed from the bag after 7 days to air dry for a couple of days before re sealing for another week.
It takes a bit of practice to get it spot on, but once you get a feel for it its easy. Just remember it will not destroy the buds, even if the sweet smell alarms you at first.
Once dried the sweet smell dissipates and the cured cob smell takes over.
Which is a very refined smell you will grow to love.

Hi Zach just re read your post, you can leave the GT buds in the vac bag no problem, or you can open it and use some for making a cob and put the cob in the same bag, or I would suggest in a different bag so you can see the difference it makes.
either way is fine. The vac cured unwrapped buds will be fine and in 3 months cured nicely.
The same buds cured in a cob will be ready in 2 to 3 weeks and taste different.
Try both methods so you can see the difference it will be a good experiment.

This cop curing method is magic!
here it is a problem to get maize husk...
but i ordered now maize husk @ mexican food online...
it's not expensive and normally you make food with it like mexican tamales.
well i found in the past that vacuum cured in jars speed up also the curing process but in vacuum bags it goes even faster... now need to try it in maize husk...
many thx tangwena for all the info!
