But im still a beginner and learning, so you have to take it with a grain of salt you say. The initial reason i do it without a sweat is my belief in remaining the terps, which change or vanish in higher temperatures on a live plant. But maybe it is a different thing in a vacuumed product compared to a growing plant in air flow.

Thanks for the reply. That makes it clearer for me.
Brother what a beautiful collection of amazing strains. I'd give anything to sniff each of those batches of cobs.Today I sniffed some pistons again after a long time. Mazar and Zenith followed by Auto Zamaldelica smell divine

you have to mention that you have to dry it well, and not in one day, it will be 2 days for sure, after which you can probably do what you say to close it for 3 months, otherwise without properly drying you will wake up with soap instead of weed, with only dry to the touch and left it closed for 3 months then you get mold for sure .
A deft touch is needed thats for sure. True cobb masters are at one with the process, its instinctive, a labor of love for getting high.
In return for the understanding and care you lavish on the fruit of your labor.
Getting into some fruits of my labor right now ha ha.
Yeah sorry, maybe there is a misunderstanding.
My cobs are fairly small, like 5 to 10 gram pieces. They probably dry faster than big ones.
I still let them them dry for 2/3/4 days after the „sweating“ process. I wait till i have the feeling it is dry enough, but still with a little bit of moisture. Probably around the same moisture like weed you put for curing in a glass.
You can open the bag every week or two to check how the process is going and how the smells are. Use a bigger bag for it so you can reseal it a couple of times.
Its a beautiful process with a lot of variables. So the best thing is to try it yourself several times to develop a feeling for it.
Panama haze cob (could have been grown better)
Dried for 4 days,
about 4 days inside the vacuum 19 C (would have taken it out earlier but couldnt),
4 days dry,
now about 1 month curing
Didnt eat it yet but it is planned to. Yet vaping is imo stronger and longer lasting than the same glasscured bud. Smells are different. Before cure is incense and spice, after is hashish, spice and a ferment tang, which i try to get lower with a earlier sweat

Great looking cob.
I grew Panama haze 6 or 7 yrs ago, before I started cobbing. The regular cured weed needed a very long cure to bring out it's best.

@Tangwena
you just like to sniff it?? You wouldn't try them, I can't take that away from you hehe
I use this fermentation with my medicinal herbs (Artemisia annua, Urtica dioica, etc.), of course the herbs are not wrapped in corn cobs. For fermentation, the pre-dried herb is stuffed into a vacuum bag and that's it. The most important thing is to find that point between *still too wet or already too dry*. If this fits exactly, you have wonderfully fragrant medicinal herbs that are of higher quality due to fermentation because the bioavailability has improved.

Thats what this thread is about brother, experimentation cannabis is just another herb after all.
You may have hit on something very special there.

Nice looking cob there @weedebook!! The close-up photos of the cross-section look pretty amazing and the colours are spectacular! I think you are going to enjoy that when it's ready. The hard part now is to wait! Cheers!
Cheers!
Yes beautiful colors my friend what was it made from?
I had some Panama cob yesterday from seeds gifted by Buddler.
I was feeling a little down and unmotivated after my 8 hr drive the previous day. Coming down from too much black coffee and Dexies which are the only way I can drive for 8 hrs.
One hour later the world was a beautiful place and a joy to be alive in the best pick me up ever.
Does that mean the fishing trip is done? If so any memorable days?
Sure is done until September.
The last trip was on a boat belonging to a guy I met while squid fishing at night on the jetty.
i had packed up and was ready to leave in a couple of days. So we went to a spot I know and had a great day on the water in 2 hours we caught a shit load of fish I personally caught a PB of a cod.
The guy was so blown away he put an offer in on a house that was for sale in town ha ha.
His offer was accepted so when I go up in September I will have access to a larger boat to go further away to some great marks I have but have not been able to visit due to my boat being to small ha ha.
This one had to be returned to the water any cod over 1 mtr is over size.
Lucky I got 6 of its children who were under 1 mtr ha ha.
The ice box it is sitting on is 1mtr wide.
Well, aren't you the lucky fellow and I don't mean the catch, that took some knowledge.
