Malawi Style Cob Curing.

[Tangwena]

I'm thinking to bring the Zamal x TTH down this weekend

Thats going to be interesting cant wait to see the buds up close and of course cobbed.
Going to be potent highs I'm sure I'll be interested in your opinion of it.
This years crop will give you some stella cobbs your going to be one lucky man brother.
Next year should be interesting reading your take on all the different highs thats for sure.

Socceroos have a serious chance of making it to the 8th finals of the Football World Cup
How is it lived the world cup over there?
Here is madness, absolute madness. Women shouting and swearing like men, nobody works, countries stop breathing. Not even cats in the streets. Dogs cats and mice are all watching the world cup too
I cant believe how it influences on everyday life and people's mood.
It is a political thing here, if the national team dont make it well it will be reflected on next elections.
Coming back from many years of Asia I find some cultural stuff very shocking, things change a lot in 30 years time and the country I grew up in is not the same country anymore

Tangwena, I came to the thread to report on this brick. If small talk is not welcome just let me know, haha
This is dried flower which was a winter grow seed run of the best plant of last season which was surpassed amazingly by a plant found in the winter grow
So this is the little dried flower leftovers after taking the seeds. Buds were not mature and only purpose of this grow was for seed
After 7 days drying the flowers, I put whatever was left in a banana bark on nov 4th this month
I tried it yesterday after 24 days
I didnt expect to hit at all. I am amazed it hits. Not only smokes super smooth, the vaping is very decent, not like fermented bud
I dont think science understands this alchemy
Pictures are from both sides of the small brick. About small matchbox size. Not thick at all, maybe 1 cm
I certainly didnt expect it to have a high. How come you put all this supposed rubbish in a banana bark and boomshenka it hits with just 24 days cure!! Some strains are done for bricking and much better than keeping in jars

Have a nice day everybody

My friend you can post your thoughts all day long on this thread.
Well traveled worldly stories and thoughts are the gold we all seek to learn from my friend.
Cures such as that one can be aged to a golden, yellow, green and other colors all mixed in together.
The best smoking cures are almost always stringy like that with fine aromatic smells and flavors.
When I used to smoke I craved that smooth draw full of flavor and depth.
The best Malawi gold cobs from the North of the country were stringy like that and the high was instant and overwhelming even after 2 drags on a pin joint.
When I see people smoking huge joints all day long it means only one thing to me.

I follow the world cup because I like to see the best skills in the world on display plus i used to play soccer as a teenager we all did.
But dont understand the hysteria some fans have about the game ha ha.

Question for the piston professionals.
Is the stuffing method or the rolling method better?
What are the pros and cons?
If I look at the pistons here......
The rolled cobs are bulky and have a smooth texture.
The stuffed cobs are uniform but have a rough texture...And look fragile.
---------------
Which of you stuffs, which of you rolls the cobs?

@wuluz , I stuff my buds into a baking paper lined tube. I compact them until they are very dense. The dried cob is solid and not at all fragile once they've been fermenting a few weeks and have been dried several times.

None is better than the other its just personal taste and traditional tied up.
Your really just compressing the buds the shape is not as important as the sweating, drying and aging.
Its what you do sweating, drying and aging that determines the result along with having the best buds of course.

Even if my Cobbs are the most powerful weed the world has ever seen I am still going to smoke big, fat joints all day long. It will be business as usual. LOL!

I always say, "Smoke em' if you got em'".

My boss once said he couldn't tell if I was stoned like everybody else. I said because you have never seen me straight. We were car salesmen. If you could sell 20 cars a month they would probably let you snort coke of your desk. One guy had a snuff box and was always snorting. He sold cars like you can't believe.

@Hombre del mont Thanks
Then I'm doing something wrong. I stuffed a few pistons myself, I'm not happy with them because they break.
I do much better with the ones rolled in corn husks.

@quiz, that's fine, use whichever method you prefer. Whichever way you do it, it will work.

@Tangwena you're absolutely right...sweating, maturing and aging is what counts. But the visual aspect is also important to me. The eye eats with you

The visual aspect will improve as your skills improve over time.

Hombre beat me to it ha ha The marriage of the cure and the visual presentation is what makes a great cure my friend.
When you experience the beauty and power of such a good cure there is no going back.

Tangwena, this is the N Thai x CG72 from last season grow
The plant I cobbed was nothing like this, it was simply fully seeded short plant
I am suspecting these type of buds cure better in brick form than in the jar, but the only way of knowing is having half plant in the jar and the other half in brick
Next season I will try a slow banana brick cure. When I harvest next autumm/winter bricks will have 3 months of slow cure at lower temperatures of max 25C until spring arrives when temperature at the greenhouse shoots over 30s
This is N Thai x Cg72 is kind of productive grinspoonesque buds, if such description fits

I haven’t actually eaten any marijuana or any kind of edible product the only time I can remember was hash brownies as a kid and it knocked me out I didn’t like it… I guess I should try it again but I don’t feel I will have the level of control

If you never consume edibles because of that negative experience you should try them again. You don't have to go through the trouble of cobbing, regular cannabis butter or oil is awesome as well especially with a good indica which will make you float like you're on a matress made of marshmallow clouds.

I make edibles every year and I came to the conclusion that it's almost mandatory to spend a few days "calibrating" your prefered dose before you even start eating them for fun. The way I do it is, everytime I make butter, the first day I will have 2g, feel nothing, next day 4g, feel a very mild buzz, next day 6g, starting to have fun, next day 8g good high but still manageable and you feel that 10-12g is gonna be a strong high, maybe too strong to be enjoyable. Then I will cut the butter into 8-9g cubes and vacuum seal them and into the freezer. I made up the numbers because everytime is different. I think this is a safe way to go about it and I never had a bad experience doing this even though I can be prone to anxiety if I get really high.

Another easy way of doing edibles is, if you have a vaporizer, vape some of your preferred weed, and keep the vaporized/decarbed weed. Then you can buy some capsules, or use capsules from your medicine if you use it, to make 0.1-0.3 capsules of vaped weed. Again easy to ease into it if you start with 1 capsule and take an extra one every day until finding your dose.

Still haven't tried cobs though and I can tell it will be different by folks' comments. For starters I usually make edibles with the broadest leaf strain I have. I grow sativas but never really ate them, I feel trying out my zamal x jamaica cobs for the first time is gonna be an adventure for sure

Eating cob is very different from hash brownies
With "normal" edibles you get high but quite soon it becomes "heavy" and "mongy", and of course with too much, very unpleasant for a novice. With cob you get very high, but clear and functional! It's a very different hit. Really small amounts can get you high all day.

With all that stunning weed you grow, a few cobs wouldn't go amiss.

I got a good pot full of vaped weed... But doesn't it need fat(butter, lecithin, oil etc.) to work in your stomach?

Mostly i just got tired of edibles so i prefer to vape. Now i got all the vaped stuff and don't want to throw it away.

No it doesn't need any fat to work. That's more than enough to try it out. Just empty a few capsules from some supplement or dick pills or whatever you have at home and enjoy your sweet dreams with Little Nemo

 

[Mitsuharu]

Dick pills!? ^^ You mean viagra? I think i'm too young for that. But i got some energy capsules, maybe i use these...
