Malawi Style Cob Curing.

Rolling that up was trickier than expected but it's now bagged and sitting in my slow cooker on low

The cob spent 12 hours in the slow cooker and came out extremely moist and steamy so I opened it up to help dry it out. It's looking somewhat different from the starting material

I'm being forced to attend a very family friendly Christmas party today so I'll drop back in tomorrow with some test results.

Looking good nice fermentation. While you can try it now once dried, it will be very stoney compared to once it has aged and settled.
I would partially dry it so its still slightly moist, not wet and vacuum seal it for another 3 to 4 weeks than try it again it will have changed to a much more trippy high.
Seal it up for 3 months and you will see a major improvement, it will not be very trippy straight from the fermentation and will be stoney. Patience will be well rewarded.

My plan is to put about half a gram aside to test tomorrow and then halving the remaining herb between being sealed immediately and then being sealed after another 12-24 hours in the slow cooker. I'll try some from each every month or so until it's all gone and with any luck the experimentation will lead to finding out how to get better results for the next lot of cobs.

Thats a good plan I can see you are serious about it. Nice job and best of luck with your experiment. Prepare to find the real high in coming months.

Here is a small bud from my SSH cob curing trial.

This was sweat for 24 hours in a crockpot, then sealed up and fermented for 8 days. The rest of the bud is still fermenting, and will be dried after two weeks or so of fermentation, then sealed and aged for a couple of months.

This is my first sample!

And here is a comparison between jar cured (2 weeks) and sweat cured, same plant:

Looks perfect to me give it a bit of time to age and it will be dynamite my friend.
Welcome to the club, you have to show a cob to enter.
My thats a nice one sir please feel free to come anytime brother.
When introducing cobbers say " this is a friend of ours" if you say "this is a friend of mine" it means inexperienced in the dark arts ha ha

I'm currently under the influence of around half a gram of super silver haze cob and it's a bit different than I'm used to. It's hit like edibles but was felt much more cleanly with an up high instead of then typical stoned feeling I usually get. It's also severely dumbed me down and spaced my brain out making piecing my thoughts together increasingly difficult and it's kicking in waves which the ssh didn't do before too.

I have to admit that while the taste and texture weren't very good I'm shocked at the effects and sheer potency of cobbed buds. I'm curious to try it with all my other strains now but I'd be lying if I said I'm not already having reservations about the stronger and scarier strains like Malawi and Zamaldelica. I can't imagine they'd treat a person too nicely after eating the kind of dose I just ate. It'd just be too strong...

 

[Levitationofme]

Too strong?? NEVER! LOL

 

[seeded]

Too strong?? NEVER! LOL

Well if you're brave enough to eat half a gram of cobbed zamaldelica go ahead. Personally I like my sanity


I forgot to put pics up of the recobbed bud in the last reply.

It's stickier, spongier and smells nicer than the 12 hour batch. Next time I'll have to experiment more with cooking times

Excellent couldn't of done better myself. Hint be extra careful of that cob once it has aged, when they are that fermented after 3 months aging it will give you a VERY intense experience. My Panama that I fermented turned out like that and is so strong in high doses 0.4g chewed I was seeing things and not in control in a way that was not totally enjoyable if you know what I mean ha ha. In small doses 0.1g its still over the top but I can enjoy it.

Believe me my friend that will feel tame to what it will be like in a month or two time. Fresh cob is always weaker for some reason. In 3 months you will be using 0.1g at a time and still think you are over dosing ha ha. Good on you for biting the bullet and giving chewing a go though it can be awesome getting that high.

Hey there,

I just wanted to say I've spent the last few days reading this thread and I'm in.. My harvest is due mid January, it's blueberry, no sativa but I'd still like to see what happens as I like to try different highs the more natural the better.

I've had bhang in India, I had a strong lassie and a cookie, after half hour I went back for another lassie and had to persuade him that I could handle it..
I spent the next 2 hours sitting on a rooftop restaurant staring at the menu and contemplating life and Indian spelling of the English language.. I eventually went to bed after a nice chillum with another tourist.
I woke up high the next day.

Anyway, if it's even close to that I'll be a happy man.

Thanks Tang. And the rest of you for sharing any caring.

Peace.

Tripping dose

Tripping dose

This is todays trip no kidding 8 to 10 hrs of Aces Panama bliss. 0.12g. You will need an accurate scale because overdosing is very easy. I wanted 0.1g but what the hell it is Christmas. Less is more with this gear. Second pic tripping dose of Mulanji (Malawi) some black Panama aged, and some Golden Tiger tripping balls dose, MDMA on steroids with a touch of LSD ha ha. 0.1grams is 1/10gram my friends an ounce will last you a life time and then some.

 

[One Güey]

Gonna do a Malawi cob cure next week to a tropical mix from Ace and Mango Haze sativa pheno. Got my crock pot and vacuum sealer today just for this lol.

Tangwena
Have you ever tried mixing two different plants in the same cob while fermenting? If so did you notice anything?

Thanks for sharing this.

The high from the cob started wearing off about 90 mins ago and I only noticed because I felt like hitting the vape instead of having any of the usual sensations such as actually feeling the high wear off. I thought what the hell and hit the vape anyway and it instantly rocketed me back to la la land which then started to wear off deceptively cleanly again after about an hour. It didn't feel as euphoric that second time round but being instantly blasted back instead of the steady creep made the intoxication far more noticeable and I still can't believe it. About the best way I can think of to describe it is that the high had the dirtiness removed like what you get going from smoking to vaping, but with going from vaping to cobbing without producing all the wasteful plumes of vapour to boot. It feels cleaner, hits full force and the high lasts an ungodly amount of time. I was baked out of my goddamn mind for 7 solid hours and even now a few toots on the vape and it's like I'm having a small hit of oil with the flowers.

Honestly it feels like I've basically wasted every bud I've consumed up until this point and if it wasn't for the odd taste and texture of chewing it for the first time (which I'm sure will grow on me) it flat out would be. I won't stop vaping anytime soon because they taste better than chewing and the effects are far more manageable and predictable but I will definitely be cobbing some more buds tomorrow and from now on a significant portion of every harvest will get cobbed too.

Thanks for showing me the light Tangwena. One day I hope to make it up to you.

My absolute pleasure my friend but you did do a spectacular job on the cure. In 3 months you will see how good things can get I promise you.
Peace Tangwena

Sorry wrong quote I am very spaced out, One Guey here is your answer
Yes it works very well especially if you get two that work well together, its not as easy as it sounds. Sometimes one can all but cancel the other out. I prefer to blend pieces from individual cobs.
But i have found the best results are for instance. Tripping out all day on Panama cob, then 9 to 10 hrs later having another smaller chew on say Golden Tiger Thai pheno its like a shot of coke while going up on half a tab of acid you just go into party animal mode instantly. My wife likens it to letting a dog off the leash in a room full of bitches ha ha you dont know who's butt to sniff first.
They really work well together, not every type does though some kill the high of the other, it takes a bit of mixing up to see what works first.
Honestly though if you get good buds and cure them like seeded did above its going to get so strong it takes a year or two before you get a handle on the power.
I have 3 different Zamaldelica cobs and I haven't been able to ride those babies without paying the price, since I made them 2 and 3 years ago, they are DANGEROUS.

From reports of another member who cobbed some spectacular GG4 buds and got a cob very much like seededs cob above.
It will be very different from the jar cured/dried buds. In his words much more usable type of high rather than the lethargic heavy feeling stone of the dried green bud, well it wasn't really green there was so much frost it was silver. But the cob came out almost black like Opium or good matured Hash.
Def worth it and he is busy planning his next batch, this was his second attempt at cobbing and he killed it both times stella results.
In fact since McKush another member cooked up a dozen blindingly good cobs from some mango haze a few weeks ago using a crock pot and lots of skill. It seems everyone is smashing the things out of the park, with really trippy results.
this is using the forums in the best way possible to get people to use what they have already in their hands to make something outstandingly good in their own home without chemicals completely natural.
