Tangwena... Wow! When I checked on the sweat I grabbed a piece new let her dry, just a tiny pinch. I am amazed at the difference of what went in and what came out.... the effect is unbeleivable and insanely Clear! I had just a toke or three wen inspiration hit me to tryour something new and so I grabbed a sketch pad and some colored pencils and sat down to draw an Eastern Orthodox Icon of the Blessed Mother. I Googled up an example and dove in never having done it before. And th9 not ready to adorn the walls of an Orthodox cathedral for my first try I'll take it.

This is the feel I've been Missing! This supreme elevation and clarity!!!! I was so tired of the couch lock dumbs and sitting here reading stupid jokes night after night when all my intellect wanted to do was to expand and explore but yet I lacked the energy and clarity for the endeavour in the cloudiness...

This is amazing and this is a cheat sneak peak...

I will post my icon

Your description says you got it right my friend, thats exactly what i see when I cure the buds. The aging will intensify the clear effect at least double so you have plenty to look forward to.
Well done on the cure it looked good in the pictures now it will be getting stronger again. You will never look back now.

Made two batches of cobs... Did two with unprocessed small stuff I had that still would squish together in my hand. Put them in 30-40*c for two days then sealed... Have to put back in the heat but they didn't sweat too much at all, so maybe a bit dry...?

The second time we made 5 cobs out of a whole plant of Pink Kush that went 12+ weeks due to light leak causing a bit fingery airy flowers... Was caked in frost and Hưng for two weeks but still had bendy stems. These I sweat in the sun during the day, and used heat at night, very "sweat" , was dripping wet in the bag. Sealed them up and put into warm shop to cure...

Pretty excited... Thanks again and I'll try to get some pics of them after the cure... My friend did an awesome job wrapping them so I gotta post a few!

Very crazy how much flowers can be crammed into a corn husk, and I was even more blown away how much tighter they got after both the wrapping and the vac seal stages...

I think I'm going to blend some surplus dry ice hash I with next one... just an expiriment... I may also blend some clove in one.... I enjoy djarumn clove cigars when I toke so may try blending a cob with it....

It seems that I cannot keep a vacuum on the cob. Every few days the vacuum is lost and even a double vacuuming wont work? Does that mean that I sweated the cob for a too short period or what could be the problem?

It has to be the bags or the sealer or both. I had a mate loose 5 cobs because he was away working and the bags lost the vacuum when he got back it was all moldy. Get a better vacuuming machine or better bags
The only way to fix it. Sorry but thats all there is to do.

Possibly true, I have a cheap vacuuming machine.
I just thought that it could also be that the cob is decomposing and releasing gasses?

Nice job you can see the massive change in color, you are fast becoming an expert my friend, that looks like a real deal Malawi primo cob. I take my hat off to you sir.
Enjoy and make sure to post an in depth smoke report on that one when you are ready.
That made my day my friend when I see results like that I feel very excited.

Also here, for the members, pressed Manga Rosa looking black, greasy, fermented, and very potent.....very similar to Colombian "Candybar", circa 1972......

thanks man!
making cobs is a lot of fun, there are so many variables to play with...so maybe after the next 30 cobs I´m an expert, but still in the experimental stage :D

..smoke report follows!

Nope, just an internet cutie who is having a nice doobie.
I threw it in there to see what you'd say. Along with the pressed, fermented Manga Rosa from Brasil. A cobless cob....

My lady is amazing and could do 8 pull-ups (not chin-ups) when we met 12 years ago. She fixes barb wire fence and drives a tractor when needed. Kick ass.....
