Malawi Style Cob Curing.

[Tangwena]

What an embarrassing post mate, as most of your posts on this forum are. Please let us know how good your farts smell too. Your last sentence really encompasses the kind of person you are. You call people "canna Nazis" in the same post where you are wanking off about how superior you are to everyone else, and lecturing us like you're a college professor. Gtfo clown.

Easy to fool people when talking with such confidence, but anyone who has seen your grow logs should be able to see through your bullshit. You grow some of the most beloved sativas in this forum, with which so many people had amazing results, me included. You do it so badly that you get a seriously distorted image of the strain. But you're so arrogant and superior that you assume it's the strains, and not your lack of skills and care, that produce these abominations you call plants.

You grow these ridiculous sticks with more weight in thrips, PM and spidermites, than the actual weight of the buds. And you wonder why your weed sucks??? You are growing in the most privileged part of the world to have killer results with sativas, you fail like noone else has managed to fail before really, and blame it on the breeders And call people canna Nazis. The lack of self awareness is shocking.

I don't grow American stuff either, and I don't like that kind of weed, but trying to pretend you are an expert at what is good weed, what are good strains, or anything in general, is laughable and ludicrous.

You live in a fantasy world mate, wake up, learn to grow, and learn to treat others with the respect you want for yourself. Payaso

Ok OK lets all calm down brothers everyone is entitled to their opinions you have a very eloquent turn of phrase my friend a very well written speech had me in stitches actually ha ha.
But lets keep it friendly hey?
This game we play is very competitive so its understandable we all have strong feelings.
I personally have a big mouth and an even bigger head or so I've been told a few times so I can understand where everyone comes from.
But as the saying goes Sticks and stones ect ect.

Sunday is cob sniffing day
The smells are amazing, you don't want to give the cobs away.
All three are from this year
Mazar Kush World of Seeds Bank
Lebanese from @ace Seeds
Zenith from @ace Seeds, when you open the package you think it's packed with lemons.

Love the colors on that Mazar Kush brother and the Zennith also I thought I spotted some seeds in it.
I reckon lightly seeded cobs are way better highs than unseeded but thats just my personal taste.

Plus I have to say that as my current grow is lightly seeded ha ha On purpose I might add.
I just had 2 days hard work outside in the sun building a shade pergola on my house loved every minute of it thanks to some Mulanje Zulu cob I'm still flying now at 8pm at night.

Some tropical boogie cobbed up this morning. Got it tucked in my dressing gown to sweat hahaha

This stuff smells like an Indian curry house. It's unbelievable. Sooo savoury, getting a quick sweat with me and out she comes.
Happy Sunday everyone. Been smoking cob since 5am this morning and I think this type might be ceilingless. Mango Thai x (ZamxCon) by the way.

I just ordered on EBay a press mold for candy bars cob style ha ha cant wait.

3x5 inch Pre Press Mold Premium Aircraft Aluminum Material Mould DIY Tool | eBay

Various size mould to option:2.5" x 2.5"/4"x4"/3"x5". 1x Pre-pressed Abrasive Tool. 【Pricision Fit】- Durable 3 pieces design, precision machined from solid aluminium blocks, and easy to put in and out.

www.ebay.com.au

I'm going to try and make some candy bars with the mold and the cure them cob style just for something different ha ha.
I'll still make cobs as well though.

 

[GreenAndFast]

Oh man tangwenas candy bars coming to a spaceship near you soon hahaha

 

[Tangwena]

A friend and master grower on another site posted these he made from Destroyer fresh with just such a tool.
I thought I would do the same but a lot thicker and made with primo stalk less buds.
I'm going to have heaps to play with come harvest so its now or never ha ha.

 

[GreenAndFast]

I find the bars very easy to work with regards to taking the amount I need. I've heard that as they age longer they get alot harder, is this true? Cut down 3 more plants. 1 unknown and 2 NLxAB. Think a few more candy bars are in order

Sorry to shit on your thread mate, I really don't mind people being somewhat condescending, as long as there are skills and knowledge to back it up. In this case there is a lot of photographic evidence that proves the superior attitude is completely undeserved. I may have a little trouble with people who do this, and believe or not I was holding back there. Again apologies for the bad vibes.

@wuluz I also have cob sniffing day

The pu-Er tea that is made similar to cobbs can be extremely hard after long cure. Makes sense cobbs would behave the same way.

@revegeta666 just don’t post about fart sniffing day. Don’t want to read that kind of post.

Nice looking "chocolate bars"!! That press looks really interesting, I might need to try one out for myself. I did notice on the eBay link that they won't ship to the US where I am. Looks like I might need to see if I can find something similar here and give it a try. Those are sweet looking, nice and uniform like you said! Cheers!

These are Chinese copies of the original US made molds.
They are used to pre press / shape the buds before pressing for rosin.
There should be heaps available where you buy rosin pressing equipment.
I just need to make them 3/4 to 1 inch thick to cure nicely and try varies degrees of compression as well.

Excellent @Tangwena, thanks for the information! I was also thinking that a set of those molds that let one create bars about 2 -2.5 cm, or just under an inch thick would be good. I like fat cobs, and might like fat bars! Cheers!

Tangwena, I would like to thank you for the knowledge shared, this is my last post here
I was interested in the knowledge share and exchange but I am not interested in the bullshit
I am afraid we live in different realities and different worlds and things seem to be different according to the point of view of the reader behind the screen
People suffer pain, people live in conflict with their neighbours, people live miserable lives and if I answer I will make it even more miserable, what is it worth for? It is clearly time to move on

I spent my sunday going to the mount to get some fresh green guadua to try, I will seal it with the bamboo plug
I am interested in trying and experimenting, I absolutely dont care for egotistic bullshit from europe usa or from the moon. Since when europeans are reference for sativas???

I personally believe you have good results with moderrn weed because you keep it on vacuum. It degrades very fast without vacuum. Traditional weed dont have this problem

Each brick you see here costs wholesale 50u$s. Narcos sell it 8u$s 25 grams and 250grams for 70u$s
People who grew up smoking this dont want anything else. Narcos, customers of narcos and police think this is first quality. They never catch the modern flowers, they dont care. These bricks are hard currency at this part of the world. You smoke a roach and it hits
This is not yesteryear. This is from 2 days ago. This is the number one sativa market in the planet and this is probably the best commercial sativa the world has to offer today. Maybe Mexico has some matching quality, I dont know. This is better than thai brick
You are seeing here 3900 bricks caught by the cowboys. They catch a truck and another 50 trucks go through

The modern flowers degrade fast
Try it: take out your cobs made of modern weed out of the vacuum one month and tell me if it has a high after that

With traditional tropical weed you dont have this problem, it does not degrade for long time. In order to be able to make this banana bark cure without vacuum I need a very long curing strain like the traditional weeds

Thank you again for the lessons Tangwena!

Sorry you feel so strongly my friend I would have been very interested in your Bamboo cures.
They are well known in parts of South East Asia I have read.
If you ever change your mind the door is always open my friend.

It's always good to try something new.

So let's build the Malawi Style Cob Rabbits!

Take small chocolate molds made of food-safe polycarbonate, a few paper clips and vacuum seal the whole thing.

The first tests were not very successful, but successful people don't give up easily.

So the whole thing was repeated with the Malawi Purple Kush strain.

https://www.icmag.com/media/bluete-005_malawi-purple-kush-jpg.18707915/

The reality is often miraculous, as soon as you do it right, it works!

Now the fine-tuning experience begins, but I wanted to give you something to smile about and you can follow future successes.

And as always, the best way to do it is with heart!

Love it!

I'm guessing that getting a good compression in the Rabbits it's difficult.

 

[CDNINCA]

Love it!

I'm guessing that getting a good compression in the Rabbits it's difficult.

And it's a nicely colored rabbit too!

Love the experimentation, nothing tried, nothing learned eh? I see "seasonal cob gift giving" in your future if you can get the results to your liking - Christmas ornaments, Easter rabbits, etc., etc, great test!
Cheers!

Thanks!
And gifts suitable for every season.

So I'm still on the lookout for chocolate molds of preppy bare-breasted ladies!

I'm guessing that getting a good compression in the Rabbits it's difficult.

In deed, it is amazing how many popcorn buds fit into such a mini bunny, which is only 3cm / 1.2" high.

Maybe go by volume? I’m getting 1.3 g per ml after compression

Wild guess, those mini bunnies are about 7g

Rabbits for christmas... why not!

 

[Tangwena]

Yesterday I tried a 50/50 mix of two cobs made from @vermontman Mulanje Gold.
They are getting on to 10 months aging now.
One was the red haired green/yellow plant and the other the plant that purpled towards the end of flower.
Both taste and smell incredible perfect cobbed Malawi grass aroma.
As I have been finding with some of my older cobs the sum of the two parts was greater than the total!
It came on fast as it should very very euphoric and confident. I was tripping out on euphoric love and excitement.
I solved an installation problem on a job I was doing at home and even managed to drive high as a kite but razor sharp focused on what I was doing.
The hardest part was not shouting out loud how good I was feeling.
I wanted everyone else to share in the high truly blissed out euphoria.

Next weeks weather forecast perfect for flowering my sativas the resin is off the charts already.
I love flowering in the Aussie summer hot hot hot.
This is centigrade for you US viewers.
