nice size squid!

 

[ost]

I use huge amounts for bait. I love it to eat as well stuffed with savory rice baked in the oven with sweet potato, pumpkin,carrots and potatoes covered in olive oil and herbs.
also squid rings, smoked squid and dried squid in the dehydrator, barb be cued in garlic and chilli and deep fried just to name a few ha ha.
Pot is illegal here so I have to keep a low profile dont want the local piglets getting any ideas ha ha.
But sometimes just for laughs I get some unsuspecting stoner high or the first time in their life ha ha.
Its all about education you understand ha ha.
I go back in a couple of months for the run of the BIG squid something I never miss.

@Tangwena ,cool I take it that mess of squid will ,make several different meals!

Lucky for me my wife loves squid fishing sometimes I think she is addicted ha ha.
Its hard to drag her away.
On the right tide you can see and catch them during the day its super cool fun.
At night is the best time for the big catches though.

Used whole for big fish.

I always keep my neighbors well fed as well.

Love those colors right out of the water.

 

[sneezydog]

You are the luckiest guy to have a wife who fishes with you. Im sure you know.

my wife, don't mind as long as she is in a boat!

Mine too she loves boat fishing as well how lucky am I?
Life doesn't get much better than high on the water does it?

Stated cobbing some early picks of Mulanje Gold the purple leaning phenos STINK very deep fruity hash type smell.
The other hermi prone plant is starting to smell of sweet pineapple so glad I didn't pull it.
Cant wait to try these two still plenty more to harvest as it gets more mature.
These samples in the pictures are being sweated in a vacuumed jar for comparison.

Finally I have some cob material. I decided to try a lotus leaf wrapper since I have them sitting around. Looking forward to end result.

 

[sneezydog]

What is sprinkled on that leaf in the 4th picture?

 

[Taima-da]

They look more like bamboo leaves than Lotus (?)
Some of the bigger ones are used to wrap rice and can be bought at Asian food stores.
Would work well cos they're stick resistant with neutral taste

It looks like ice to me maybe defrosting it ?
I like that bud in the bottom of the first picture PR nice colors.

 

[Rastafarout]

@Tangwena hi bru , looking good ! Just curious why you don’t use the corn cob leaves ?

 

[airplane]

This will be my next thing to do "cobs" know there is a bit of work for it - but seems worth it

 

[blondie]

It is some work but not be. I may need to read the label again. They might be bamboo leaves and not lotus. Lo mei gui .. sticky rice in bamboo leaves is one of my favs snacks. Yes these are easily purchased leaves and I bet on amazon.

They have Been in the freezer a long time. Yes it’s ice crystals. Ziplock in the freezer was not airtight. They seem to work ok. I just need to get the hang of it and use more flower.

I cobbed my cbd plant but due to life I got to it when it was kind of dry. The PR = Punta Rosa I got to it quick and yes nice color! Literally just chopped two more PR ladies. A cobbing I will go...

You guys just pack in as much flower as possible ? Mine seem to be flattened after vacuum bagging and I see others nice cigars.

Definitely stoked to try these...

 

[sneezydog]

Yes lots of material, makes for more juicyness but the way you did it should work just more prone to drying and stopping the cure while a big log is hard to stop fermenting especially if a little on the wet side. Good luck, its all about the smells!

I make butter for my edibles. The THC-a decarbs while making the butter. I suppose a 3-4 day cure at 140*F would also do the conversion. No idea why the buzz from chewing a cob would be different from a cookie?
