Let em dry a bit more, the leaves can even look dried but the sticky buds and stemy bits will hold enough moisture to cob up fine as long as there is a bit of bend in themI’m soooo ready to Cobb some sour diesel

That first one looks so niceView attachment 18715572
this cob isn’t nearly as aged as yours @Tangwena, but it is progressing and smells are very sweet and fruity, consistency is gummy and still a bit bendable, kind of like jerky. The second one I made with corn husk and I’ve been drying it since it progressed a bit faster because the corn husks were green and alive.
I’m not doing it yet I just picked those,Let em dry a bit more, the leaves can even look dried but the sticky buds and stemy bits will hold enough moisture to cob up fine as long as there is a bit of bend in them
Good advise brother the drier the better with chunky buds they hold heaps of moisture inside.Let em dry a bit more, the leaves can even look dried but the sticky buds and stemy bits will hold enough moisture to cob up fine as long as there is a bit of bend in them
What a beauty should be a nice smoke from the looks of it.View attachment 18715572

Some 2020 Mulanje cob and then some 2021 Malawi x Malawi/Ethiopia which is so good I cant stop using it, sheer energy and total bliss rolled into one.

Then the creme de la creme a marriage of Aces Malawi/Ethiopian red haired airy piney pheno with some honey sweet pine Mulanje I haven't found better than this the taste, high and aroma are to die for ha ha.
The high is adventure time bliss with energy to burn "somebody stop me" material.

Dear Tangwena,Hi my friend thanks for the kind words.
I would vac seal them to age now if they were mine.
Once i get the aromas I prefer I vac seal them to age yours look dry enough now in the pics.
I have cobs aged that are still slightly moist but smell to high heaven.
I cut off sections to dry further and use, then vac seal the remainder and store at room temp as long as they are sealed it all stays locked inside.
I broke my scales a while ago but most days I take between 0.1g and 0.3g depending how high I want to get and of course what cob I'm eating, some are 2 or 3 times stronger than others having been made from better grass.
Drying the cobs is as important as any other step so gently dry is best. If I smell terps i reduce the temp until its not giving off a strong aroma any more.
They can be moist no problem stored below 40c they dont seem to loose anything rather they consolidate and refine the aromas.
Less is more in the heating and curing stages.
You are right a little cob every day just makes life so wonderful like your a teenager full of energy and curiosity at the world. Its such a change from the old tired jaded way I feel without it ha ha.
All the problems in the outside world evaporate and you find beauty in a leaf or flower or drops of water.
The world is truly a beautiful place and we are lucky to be in it if you are insulated from all the crap.
Hi everyone out there, I wanted to share this COBs pic right before they go to the maturing stage for 3months
They look absolutely spot on. I love the colours. Are they all the same? How do they smell?
looking good.So like this right
4 days drying in 62f
Stems don’t snap, leaves still tear stem flesh into strips kinda vibe

There’s certainly less dense buds should I use those over ones that have decent density?looking good.
You could do a couple like that and another with a day or two further (gentle) drying to compare, cos they look like really dense material.
You may find that the change in colour happens at a rate that is easier to stop with a drier start. Solid, moister buds tend to head straight to dark without the intermediate colour changes.
By the looks you could hit gold with that but I've only ever managed that with what I initially thought slightly too dry when using dense starting material
