Probably to the toilet bowl once it kicks in and a few hrs of saying to yourself"Why the fuck did I do that"before crashing out!
Malawi x Ethiopian
Malawi x Ethiopian
Heres some pics of Malawi x Ethiopian cob that had 12 hour sweat and 2 weeks curing its drying now so that I halt the cure at this stage.
The green sugar leaves will yellow as it ages. This method helps to preserve the aromas of the terps and oils
The high will be more Euphoric and racy compared to the deep psychedelic high of the longer sweat and longer cured cobs.

Just this guy, ya know?
Haha dood I might just be baked, but I swear staring at that bud I can see a whole forest, man.
Tip to photograph cobs:
To catch glittering, and enhance surface 3D-like detail in photos use a light hitting the cob almost horizontally from a side (look at the shadows in my cob pictures).
Horizontal sunlight (morning/afternoon) is a really nice natural lightning for this (i.e. prop the cob next to a window).

watching that while being high: like cats staring at a fishbowl!

Just finished reading the thread.Great info Tangwena & thanks for the diagram Repuk.
So no need to decarb, just 3 month cure and cob can be chewed?

whiteweedo!Yess... you can also chew it for testers at one month cure.
Fermentation and curing achieves a thorough and natural decarboxilation.
Hi Whiteweedo as brother repuk has said you can sample at 3 or 4 weeks at which time its very stony but still strong chewed.
After a month curing you dry and age the cobs during which time the stone lessons and a cerebral clear trippy high begins to emerge.
Of course I am talking about strong sativa dom plants I dont have much experience with Indica dom plants.

this thread has had my attention for a while now. i can't wait to get growing again so i can try it out. question: do different strains come out with individual smells and tastes or do they become very similar to each other?
Every strain is unique in every way smell, taste and high.
Its a rainbow of effects even individual cobs from the same plant can be totally different if you vary the cure.
I have dozens of cobs and not one is the same as the other in all aspects.
Get some decent plants growing and experiment it will open your eyes I assure you my friend.
3 months Curing Smoke Report
3 months Curing Smoke Report
Grinding time
I left the cob drying for 6h, then put it on a mason jar.
I burped it daily, for a couple days.
Cut a chunk and "dismantled" it with my fingers: it was still plyable but you felt how it cracked.
Smell was very nice, less dank, sort of wild honey muted tones.
Once grinded I was surprised of the amount I got...
Smoke
I wanted to test both sides of the curing spectrum but cob wasn't big enough to test at one, two and three months mark, so tested after first and third.
Compared to the one month cure, flavor had changed.
I can't relate to cigars, tobacco, weed nor anything else this time, flavor had turned to sweet and sour, really spicy wood, it was a very unique taste.
It burnt perfectly, slowly and really white ash.
Effects
I use sativas because is the only medicine actually preventing me from having horrible migraines, and relieve my sight... that's the physical part; on the no less important psychologic front it helps me unwind, untangle from the demons of my inner self, or to better communicate with it, to become one.
I think I tend to "store inside for later review" certain negative emotions; having a good sativa smoke kind of pulls the carpet off, revealing everything under; helping me confront and resolve them by putting me on a positive, combative and resolutive mood.
The buds that went into this cob turned out to be really bland regarding potency, so I was not expecting anything but a good smoke.
Half way through the spliff I noticed hey, something is happening... but in a very subtle, deep way... was really enjoying and into some Riding music, when suddenly while listening to a really special song (Simple Man) something kind of clicked inside and I bursted into tears. Like opening a just shook beer can...
It wasn't exactly painful, but actually relieving, revelation like and comforting in the end.
I felt light as a feather afterwards, and while I wasn't feeling physically high per regular "standards", clearly I was under the influence: really improved physical and psychological wellbeing and also had the most tasteful dinner ever!
Wrapping up
I think what happened after weeks of having all the hybrid skunky, lobotomizing crap I can get around to get some sleep, whatever potency left in those cobbed sativa (Beyond the Brain) buds kind of untangled me... from a single lashing!
Make no mistake, I wasn't giggling and suddenly felt bad; it wasn't a negative experience. More precisely I have been so-so lately and this kind of "opened the pressure release valve".
It is complex to put it into words... really inside your inner self, direct to your soul experience.
Definitely a world I am willing to explore

Wow you got the mental unloading alright the Zamaldelica cob will give you that plus a whole new personality that just wants to party big time.
It wipes all your troubles away and then gets you to go and find more ha ha.
You hit the nail on the head so that strain you have is acting on the emotions really strongly.
Really interesting man now imagine being wiped clean and restored like that AND then being given a super man costume and the powers that come with it damn that Zamaldelica is going to restore you brother cobbed its the best high out.

you nailed it, express mental unload! Cannot wait for the Zam! Funny I feel exactly that, a hidden personality, or half of one, which surfaces on me with sativas.
Just took out two girls from ACE tent this morning, one krystalica cut and Nep Jam #1 (detected spider mites), gonna put aside a handful tester nugs, all the rest will be cobbed tomorrow.
Just sow some sweet corn in the garden in anticipation for the Ethiopian, Honduras and Lebanese cobs. Want to reveg the Zam, if I succeed a clone will go outdoors with them...

Just cobbed the yield from my recent thunk cross, two phenos, combined:
That's about 28g, one is root beer, the other is lime.
It's in a vacuum sealed bag resting on my DVR, about 90F.
The cob I have from the P1 thunk is very good, aged a few months now.
Also have some two year well cured Zamaldelica cob and various indica cobs.
Nice product, good method..
