Thank you brothers! @Tangwena @Baba Karuna Your posts were the inspiration for trying this. I chose to grow Panama from reading your reports Tang! I feel like a kid re-discovering my favorite plant again with this cure. I can already tell this will be my preferred method of curing going forward. Very excited to try chewing when they're ready!

I'm in the same boat as you. Found the thread in November last season just a little too late to try it.
But we're all in this season.
This photo is so beautifulAll this talk of Panama. I thought I would share this picture of my Swabi-Dragon Panama cross under the Aurora Borealis at 42.2N.
View attachment 19082647 It will be my longest flowering plant this season since I lost my Super Panama Haze to wilt as a seedling
words cannot do it justice. I can only imagine how glorious it must be in person 
Thank you for sharing

Here's my second cob. Hanging 2.5 days
Purple Satellite. I'm trimming right from the line.
I trimmed off more this time. Make a bit larger cob. Everyone is always looking for something to do with trim. But fire in - fire out.
I also trimmed it up a bit and removed the bigger sticks.
Looked like this when I was done. Rolled it in a cornhusk this time
Quite a bit more moisture on this one.
Will have to see if it's too much. Either way it will help give me a benchmark.
Vacuum bag sealed and in the Instant pot for 24hrs.
As always go ahead and let me know what you think.

Looking like a real cob and thats a fine sativa for cobbing should make a super euphoric dreamy high.
I just love the central and south American sativas or at least the ones I have tried.
As its a bit more moist I would check its progress every 6 hours in the heater as you dont want to over cook it.
As soon as you see both moisture and color change whip it out and dry it as is, until the corn husk is dry then reseal it for a week before drying again and resealing ect.
It will be changing quite fast by then so weekly inspecting and drying for the first month.
Your on a winner with that one.

Looking good brother
looking like proper cobs 
you will enjoy the corn husk, it adds a nice flavor and experience. I am harvesting so much lately that I have to make cobs every day. I have given up on trimming anything except fan leaves and leaves without trichomes. Otherwise I feel I’d never finish
Love seeing your progress and enthusiasm

I have 5 more cobs in my sweatbox now. I have added some brown sugar to a couple and also have put some honey in a couple. The cobs are about 15 g and are at 13% moisture (if I can trust this moisture meter). I'm hoping that I can do a bit more comparisons this time - sugar, honey, plain, etc. - the tough part will be waiting the 6 months or so!!!!
