Malawi Style Cob Curing.

Hi Miyagi if its in a very warm spot one week is probably good, this cob I left in my car which was parked in the sun all day for 1 week.
You can see it is very dark so I think try 7 days and then open and check it. If you are happy stop, if not re vacuum again and leave another week.

That looks very exciting, how does the smoke compare to your other cobs? Any obvious dofferences?

Hi ZD yes the jar cured is a relaxed easy going high, the one week sweat cobbed is a lot stronger deeper high more in your head with visual distortion, the brown is cob is extremely stimulating and not at all relaxed, I find it a little scary as things start moving and morphing on the edges of my vision, I keep looking for things that I thought I saw move in the corners of my eye. Not relaxing at all. But I like the power, its just I need to get used to it and get into the trip. I have not had a lot of it because I have other cobs I prefer but it is aging so its getting stronger he he. I cant put it off for ever.

Morphing..............yes, good description. I have just experienced that, too, from a nice cob piece eaten after masticating it for 10 minutes. My mouth gets all spicy, warm even. Then the fun begins.

Ah dont say that I have to drive into town and pick up some gear, I am hanging out to get high but I cant drive when I use the cobs, so it will be 10.30am before I munch anything and that means I will be still be high at night. Its ok as long as the lights are on but once I turn them off.......

Hi Rod i cant smell them from here but they look really good. I f you dont want them send them to me ha ha. But no kidding they look nice, what smell have you got? The only way you can stuff up is if the vacuum was lost. Being GT they will be magic when chewed I just had some of mine and its getting really good I am wanting a strong tripped out high and GT always delivers. If you want to test them chew .5gramm into dust in your mouth and then wash it down. If you still think its no good I will believe you then. In fact send me that broken one its def no good he he

ok , now at the time i put those pics up i bit a chunk off and masticated that for a while ,hahha , it was quite alright to taste :biggrin: and it left a tingling feeling in my mouth , quite pleasant ..
its now five hours later and i'm still floating ,very clear headed high ..
now over the years i've eaten weed and really haven't liked it ..the taste and the high wasn't for me , maybe i've matured ..or not ..lol
sometimes if your a long time smoker you become very tolerant of weed and its hard to get excited about it ..i think thats changed tangwena ! so mate , what i'm saying is that the postal service here has broken down , sorry about that hehe
what i do need to do though is eat a bigger chunk next time ...hhaha:biggrin:

Rod58 do the cobs have a white or greyish sheen to them? I had some small pieces of cob develop a very off smell and a whitish appearance appear on the very outside of the cob. This only occured when I allowed some very moist, well sweated cob that'd been vac sealed over a month, sit in a sealed mason jar. I think leaving such a moist piece in there may have been a bad idea. If you got a great sweat then you better hope your vac seal holds and that you always store the cob back in vac seal if not in use. Yes, I still smoked and enjoyed it.

All this talk of chewing cobs again makes me want to me want to try it with some 2 month vac-cured afropip Durban poison tomorrow morning. Got to work though? Risk it heh????

hey dave , they didn't have any whiteness to them but some others i had did ..a white mould developed on them so i freed them from the vac and put them in the sun for a while , that killed it ! and they turned out ok in the end ..
and yeah dave , risk it ! or if you don't want it , myself and tangwena will take it off your hands . hahaha ..

so i stopped

so i stopped

the cobs had moist in them (offcourse) after it got hotter, thats ok i think since vacuum. But moist like the first sweat start in the bag before vacuum them. you could see the moist.

but anyway i got scared, i think i saw mold so i opened them, but i studied the maize skin and the cobs but could not find any. they smell sweet but some kind of sweet smokey barbecue sauce, they do not smell bad at all but some kind of smoked sweet sausage kind off smell.

i will dry them a few days then vacuum again, i will not test them yet.

what do you think, the "big/long" is a sativa and the "small/thick" is an indica. different colors but been in the same bag together all the time. and yes after 2 days i opened and tighten them and re-vacced them again.

If it was me I would re vac them for another week or two then dry them, that way you will have really really special cobs and you can come down the rabbit hole as well, the sun will shine again. You are right it is Christmas coming Miyagi you will be born again and never be the same, but you will be better the best you can be.
I am more exited than you if you can believe it. Nice job.

Ha ha yes fear of falling down the rabbit hole is the beginning of wisdom, yet fall I must.

This dichotomy is engraved in stone, and must come to pass, over and over again.
