Malawi Style Cob Curing.
- Thread starter Tangwena
- Start date
here is my attempt to make a cob. the plant material was in 75% moisture stage. it's a 42gr piece of lower buds. first i rolled them in a sushi mat and then i wrapped this stick inside of parchment paper. to make it very tight i used a cord which i rolled around the cob about three times. now it was ready to vacuum but i left some air space in the bag. it is sweated for 24 hours in 40c temp. it went how i expected so a few bubbles did appear. i opened the bag and cleaned stuff and put the cob back in and next i did vacuum it very tight. now it's fermenting in about 30c degrees for 7 days atleast. strain is amnesia core cut. i don't expect anything of it so it must surprise me.

Looks nice brother.
I'm sure it'll surprise you; Amnesia is good weed.
Lovely colours already.

I forgot to put my latest Cobb here. It is my Golden Tiger that I harvested last week. The buds had dried 2 days when I made the cobb. I let it sweat for 36 hours. It permeated the room it was sweating in even in the bag and under a dome. When I opened it the smell was intense and wonderful.
First pic is after the sweat.

Just received the sous vide on the doorstep. Will have to wait until next years OD harvest to give it a fair shot. 
But, have some mango haze and purple Zamal x New Malawi killer which was vac packed pretty wet I’ll experiment with. If nothing else it should smooth out the smoke and maybe allow for a decent chew.

If it was vacced up pretty moist and it's been kept somewhere not too cold it may well already be fermenting, albeit very slowly. When you open the bag, have a good sniff. Does it smell different? a special something else to the smell?, if so then it's already fermenting.Just received the sous vide on the doorstep.

I had it happen with weed that we thought was dry enough to be vacced for long term storage. It was kept at room temp in the dark for a year and fermented nicely.

Zamal x Tom Hill Haze cobs after 1 week of sitting on top of the warm amplifier.
A red gold colour developing already. Smelling of leather and incense
They've been dried up and resealed and will now sit for at least another week before I check again.

hola @Hombre del mont - I cobbed a little couple years ago so I know that lovely smell! When I opened this stuff, it was ever so slightly sweet, like the sweet from a cob
Peace

@Hombre del mont , love the colors and the cobs too! I hope that the cobs I have fermenting have some nice color to them when I open them this coming weekend

Beautiful job brother I love the close up shots shows a masterful cure.
Low and slow is the best for sativas it keeps all the taste and aromas I can just imagine the end product.
By the end of January I should have some nice buds myself Colombian and Mexican to cure cant wait, if they come out anything like yours I will be rapt.
Thank you brother its a shared passion and so fulfilling to see other enjoying it as well.Brutha Tang, the community appreciates you for all your help and maintenance in this thread

We have no doubt at all as to how yours will come out!
I thought you knew me by now ha ha Its all in the lap of the Gods until its ready to chew ha ha.
I'm always trying new ways to get the old cures I saw in my youth so its not always a given ha ha.
Here's some of the current grow at 6 weeks flowering at least 6 still to go.
Santa Marta Gold x Demon Latcher.
South American x Mexican smells amazing and good resin early.

Would the middle of a brick of weed do the same thing as a Malawi Cobb cure like you guys are doing?
Yes I have friends who use bricks even flat round shapes just press the buds into any shape you want as long as there is enough plant material say at least a couple of ounces it will cure the same given the same conditions.
