You did well looks like your on your way to a good cure nice job on drying the extra moisture.Yes, it got some interesting smell. The one which was the most moist started to change smell to not so nice. So dried them in dehydrator yesterday and packed for future development.
the aged stuff was pure magic.
That looks spectacular and for a first attempt its outstanding my friend.
this was from my father-in-laws estate, at a sushi party at my home, the 'chef' forgot his filet knife and roled his eyes when I presented him with this... he was impressed with, as you said, its sharpness and flexibility.. like a scalpel.
sorry Tangwena..
Nice my friend they should make some super charged cobs top drawer strains.I’ve read bits and pieces of this thread, but with a nice harvest pending, I’m really diggin in and reading in entirety. Give me a week or so and I’ll be caught up. I saw the ‘knife posts’ and had to add my beauty I bought a dozen years ago from a toker in New Zealand. I was on my honeymoon and we were driving to a house where we were renting a room. I saw a wooden sign on the side of the road stating ‘hand made knives’. Dropped the Mrs. off and headed back to the house with sign. Walked to the back where the smithy had his wares. Walked into he and a couple other locals were in the process of smoking some NZ bush weed. Of course I had already indulged in a pipe of bubble hash where I tucked a larger of wad in cellophane between cheek and gum when I came into country.
After the shock of my arrival (guess he didn’t get a lot of traffic), we got on quite well. He showed off his hand made knives. Enjoyed the company briefly (couldn’t leave the Mrs. too long on the honeymoon) and I headed back to the room. Went the next day and bought this beauty.

I can’t wait to use it slicing my first cobs. What I intend to learn with.
Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze...I’ve got two phenos. One more diesel leaning.

I’ve got others, but I’ll start with those gems...get back to my catching up and see you all soon in real time.
Hi my friend a good friend of mine has meter that reads the moisture content ( I go by touch) he says 80% RH is a good level.Hello, I've read a good part of this thread and it inspired me so much I had to try it, so I did a first attempt at it and the photos are on my album, I haven't been able to figure how to post pictures in threads.
Smokewise me and my partner thought that it was a lot smoother compared to jar cured, allthough I diddnt feel like I was able to nail that terpy kind of gooiness that I am seeking.
I'm on my second attempt now and my process so far has been to dry after harvest for 8 days on the branch, then remove as much stem as possible, it was 77 to 76% RH when cobbed, I have it in an are that fluctuates between 33C and 40C. I was thinking of leaving it there 16 hours, does that sound like a good amount of time to achieve a golden/reddish color?
This was posted in another thread, I dont remember which one
This is how hash is cobbed, it is a different process than ganja but it gives you an idea if you can work it barehanded or not

Hi my friend thanks for the kind words.That was most probably me then here from this wonderful thread concerning imported hashish, cheers!
While we're on it: ElDuderCabre mentioned a link about Malawi and grass culture in this thread,here is this video !
@Tangwena
Just reported back from Amsterdam and if I would have found some Malawi there I would have put up a picture. Unfortunately not available at some places selling that in the past sometimes.
Though that would have been very commercial anyway as with so many landraces they sell there[ Thai, Jamaican, Durban, Ghanaian and sometimes others]as I take it there are different grades hopefully produced in Malawi?
Tried most of the mentioned above and while often relatively smooth they sucked highwise ; I take this serious and have a pretty low physical tolerance as well as trying everything mostly separately.
However, I see you have watched the video about the wrapped up hashish though to me this is only about speeded up decarboxylation and so another 'worked hash' then and not a fermentation of hashish I now for some time look for[ we cured our homegrown years ago with Simon's fine method on here but to be anal again this isn't a fermentation again either but better than nothing and wouldn't want to smoke uncured grass these days, as it is hard to go back if once been there].
So my question is do you know something more deep about fermenting hashish?
Any links or what ever would be well appreciated.
Though maybe I'm looking for something non-existant and the only thing I can get is smoother and more tasty bud/hashish without increased potency[though a change in smell and taste should have to do with terpenes which on the other hand have an influence on effects].
Hope dies all and that! It's all about getting the full potential of something.
Last but not least thanks again for your dedication in this amazing thread here, I commented about this before and when ever I can get back to homegrown I will try this.
Even though your chewing cobs regarding tolerance issues sounds too good to be true as I tried almost anything[ different strains on tap, switching to hashish and back, doing a lot of sports et cetera]and am a passionate eater of self-processed edibles too: never got rid of tolerance at one point and only solution I found is to only consume every now and then to get the full potential off a consumption unit as I like it trippy and intense myself[each to their own though of course as it is about individual choice to me!]. Though to err is human, right?
So give it a go someday definitely!
Anyway, keep it up!

The finger hash is just a close up of resin scraped off of my fingers while cobbing the Mulanji buds.
It was a rosey color and smelt like real old school hash so I had to take a close up.
I have been heating the hash at 40c and it has matured the resin just the same as it does in the cobs I was not expecting that.
It also changed the smell and taste into a deeper more old school hash taste and flavor.
Its just an observation I dont know if its a valid technique but I read somewhere that traditionally some hash was aged in goat skins in warm conditions and was highly rated.
I dont smoke hash or anything else so I was not able to make a comparison it was just an observation based on smell and texture.https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=75063&pictureid=1907696
G'day Tangwena
By this time that finger hash is history or still alive?
Did you do a test with similar non fermented finger hash?
How was the outcome with this piece?
Have a nice weekend
