I just made 3 smaller cobs of Jumping Black Dash which is a cross between Black Domina and an unknown Ruderalis. They are starting their 24 hour sweat. Wish me luck ya'll!

question: does cob curing effect a sativa's proclivity to produce anxiety/paranoia, either an increase or a decrease? it would be nice for me if it decreased that effect.
Hi my friend if you have tried ecstacy and liked it its the same love up feeling very euphoric if done right.
For me at least its very blissed out trippy effect no time for feeling paranoid your to darn happy with your life.
Heres some cob porn from 2013 to 2016
I noticed this series of your product is quite green,
what accounts for this, as my product is more
brownish than green unwrapped after a couple weeks
in room temp vacuum.
Hi my friend your cobs from memory were a golden brown color if I am right.
You get the browns and golds like the GT in my first picture from less sweating or lower temps at the sweating stage.
The darker colors are from higher sweat temps and longer curing it also helps if they are moister during the initial sweat and cure.
The Golden brown cures are usually more aromatic and energetic cures while the darker cures tend to be more deeper and heavier effects.
I like both but certain strains obviously benefit more from one or the other types of cure. Its worth varying the cures on the same batch of buds to get different results to see which you like more.
I have found 4 levels of cure coming from week one to four of the curing process each has its own high and it just depends on your taste which you use.

I always think of Sativas as mind expanding and sometimes anxiety causing, warps your perspective of time, so far my only experience with cobs was turning a fairly anxiety causing cultivar into a very good buzz, hard to describe but I would say it reduced the anxiety and expanded the high, if that makes any sense, this is what I have noticed so far, but only starting to smoke them cobs. I have a feeling I ll be smoking more of it as it becomes smoother but for me rosin is where it's at.... cobbing is a great ancient method but I really like how clean and pure rosin can be!
One thing I can say is that I have tried pressing cobs to rosin and it has not worked well for me yet, nothing comes even close to fresh water hash rosin!
Theres something out there for everyone my friend its a cool plant and it can be administered any number of ways thats for sure.

My favorite every day sativas are so clear in mind that I become 100x more productive with my time, am more methodical with my work, more precise, accurately assessing, frees up all anxiety to fully commit to now. I can not stress enough how much clarity the clear sativas provide. There are variations of this clear high too. Hawaiian clear high is so mellow for what it lacks in productivity it makes up for in enjoying life. Some clear highs are so productive you can only enjoy life after you finish what must be done.
My favorite for fun sativas are psychedelic full of lights, color, sound, and intense imagination.
Every strain without this clearness from here has some type of fogginess and this range goes all the way down the pipe to the stoniest indicas.
Outside of that clearness with other strains can be psychedelic, or stoned, giggly, racy, paranoid, or what have.
Sativas are for the thinking man as I see it

Subtle chemistry changes of the same primitive compound can have a dramatic impact on the metabolites generated, and even how do they "travel" and are later absorbed by our brain.
There are the so-called "inhibitors" P-gp and BCRP, which actually pump THC out of your brain once a certain concentration is reached even if they actually transport it to the brain to begin with (remember that re-ocurring "wave" effects?).
Substances to prevent these inhibitors from "pumping out" THC do exist, and could be perfectly the reason for the quality, potency and duration of cobs high, specially when ingested sublingualy.
I think it's actually such "modulation" or "Balanced intake" what makes Malawi cobs high so unique, and that long-lasting, being possibly the reason for minimizing Panic & Paranoia.
You continue to astound me with your observations my friend a totally plausible explanation for the effects we get.

So I'm retarded. I didn't put enough water in the crockpot I guess and ended up with some quite brown cobs after my sweat. I am gonna photograph them once I let them dry a little bit. Note to self for next time, MORE WATER DUMBASS.
Do those look okay? Specifically how brown they went at the ends where there wasn't any weed stuffed in them?

Nice, if I remember correctly you had a taste test and were dragon ball z'ing and it was rad. Did your cobs have that really dark, almost burnt sections where there wasn't any weed inside, like at the ends?
Did you have them sealed in the vac bag? If so the temps in the crock pot were probably too high.
Were the cobs still moist when you opened the vac bag? How do they smell now?

Yup they were sealed in the vac bags. I put them originally in with just a little bit of water that didn't cover all the cobs and the parts that were touching the side of the crockpot through the bag kind of "burnt". I added more water to cover them all about 3 hours after I started the sweat, they didn't get any worse looking since then. They were moist this morning, there was moisture on the insides of the bag. I took them out and wrapped in paper towels for a couple of hours to dry off. I didn't really make a big point of smelling them, so I'm not sure really. I re-vacuum sealed them in a fresh bag and put them in my drawer to sit. I can cut them open and smell and then reseal if you think that's a good idea Tang.

I used dry heat from a dehydrator for 24 hours
Wouldn't 24 hours in a dehydrator dry out the cobs to the extent that any curing would not take place? Tangwena suggests air drying for several hours ~ one day (after 12~24 hours sealed at 40C) depending on the RH in that room. the last cob I did was air dried over night after 24 hours sealed at 40C/110F, as the humidity was high and the bud was a little wetter than usual ...anyway, I hope they turn out good for you.
ok for you.

Your reply is most welcome, I understand more now
the variables to this method. I will attempt an initial higher
sweat temperature and then shorter room temp cure.
Good stuff!
That seems ok to me the maize skin will have helped protect the buds so its all cool.
Give it a week and then open them and dry as normal you should be fine to just follow Repuks recipe.
