Malawi Style Cob Curing.

[Tangwena]

You need to do a little naked yoga brother @Tangwena to maximize your enjoyment of your cobs

The Emus and Kangaroos are used to people around town and quite tame but a sight like that might have them wondering if the desert isn't a better alternative ha ha.

Another one going guys. Think this is going to be an ongoing trend lol sure makes harvesting NLDs alot more effective.
This was a large OTH looking unknown plant that smells very floral and sweet. I pressed the entire plant (bar a few choice buds) into an empty peanut butter jar with a wide bottom (hehe) so the resulting cob was rather flat. I want a log shape, so I rolled it in the vac bag and vac sealed her up.

Love the colors showing already. I'm hanging out to be making some more around Christmas in the summer heat.
Those pics just brings home the longing brother those are my kind of cobs.
I overdosed on cob yesterday I had a heap of fish to process it was a breeze high but 5 hours later it was coma time ha ha.
Dreams that became reality I just had to let my mind off its leash and hope I came back for an hour ha ha.

Thanks for the fishing updates. Love seeing those irridescent squid yall catch. If i was there id drive for 5 days for squid as well haha. What kind of fish was the dolphin eating? I hear them go by in the night sometimes. Big pods.

Hi brother yes I love the squid also we got some jumbos this full moon week.
The dolphins just hang on the other side of the boat away from the reef action. But they observe the fish as we land them to make their selection ha ha.
They get mostly pink snapper, emperor and Spanish flag or striped snapper they pick off whatever they want once we release them the fish dont stand a chance.
Today we had an old scarred dolphin with chunks out of its fins and scars on its body, a big male I reckon.
It was quite pushy and followed our hooked fish in to the boat which was a first for me they dont normally do that.
Then it sat under our boat waiting. I had a fresh fish that I was going to use for bait.
So I splashed it in the water beside the boat and it took it so gently eat it and then carried on on its way.
Tax paid and we were all good to fish haha.
Love this place its really special I suppose thats why its a marine park.

I'm not sure if I want to open this yet lol. The bag has some discoloration on it now.

 

[sneezydog]

If your thinking about it id open it, check smells, and slice a bit to dry and test. Can always reseal fast !

 

[Hammerhead]

I did just that.. Reminds me of good brick weed lol. It is hard as a rock and smells OK. Nothing special. It does give me a nice high. It is super smooth smoke. I think the quality we start with is important.

Nice colors brother.
Its done for sure slow dry and then its good to age.
YES always go for HIGHEST quality buds when cobbing its worth the investment every time.

 

[sneezydog]

Ya they get a lot of character in that last process, no? Even a quick sweat will help with smoothness. That last, slow crystallization in aging (sp?) Is something special that a quick dry chunk cant show.
Colors seem great, you should feel the difference of clarity as well with that already though imo. Less fuzzy feeling and cloudy, compared to uncobbed.

Hi folks!

I thought it time to pop in and say thanks for this thread.

I've been curing one or two of my plants this way for a few years now. (mostly off the back of finding this thread)

I don;t like chewing them, tastes awful and I don;t get the effects. I know if I were to swallow them, then I;d get something, but me and edibles aren;t best friends, so I avoid that!

But for me, what they are great for is smoking.
They take a bit of hard work with the grinder to get into them, but they fluff up real nice for the pipe, almost like a tobacco.
They're also great for smoking with hash in joints.

I just let them dry more and then keep them in a jar when I want to finish them curing and sling them in the fridge.

Anyway, just to say thanks to all the folks who have contributed to this thread and Tangwena for starting it!

How long do you find the effects last when smoked??
I have two cobs that are only a week old.......I'm really getting impatient!! I also don't like the taste but I use a small dab of butter or margarine just to cut the bite and it also adds to the absorbtion.

I really don't now how long the effects last. I've never thought about it.

My answer to that would be... until I fall asleep. I'm vaping tonight, but I shall have a toot on the weekend with some bubble hash I got sat getting sweaty in a jar in my desk and see, but I'm a greedy pig and normally just smoke more before anything starts to ebb back.

The butter is a good idea but I have a fridge sticker that says "Butter Is Not a Snack" so that's out for me.

"Butter Is Not a Snack"

That peels off doesn't it???? ;-)
I find that chewing for about 20 minutes gives me maybe about 4 hours of a real nice buzz - it seems much longer than smoking...but no waiting when smoked...I'm open to whatever works for the situation!!!
PS - where are those emojis??? I can't find 'em!!

Yes it took me a while to realise that the emojis were on the 3 dots next to the insert picture button.

Do you swallow? Or spit it out?

I may go have a chew tomorrow when I'm doing the gardening. Going to be a nice day up my end according to the weatherman.

A piece of well cured cob when chewed up and eventually swallowed should keep you high anywhere between 6 and 12hrs, depending on dose.

 

[sneezydog]

Tryyyyyy it you did all the work.... beautiful pictures.... wow...those crystals... that cob center.... outrageous.

Nice work brother I'd give that a chew any day.
What did you use to make that last pic?
I'm enjoying some Columbian Gold x Demon Latcher cobs at the moment nice intense euphoric high.

 

[Buzzzzd]

Heeeeyyy!!!!!
Actually the trick is to chew and swallow the saliva as necessary but try to not swallow any cob - gets a bit tricky. I'm hoping that in about a month I'll get lots of practice!!!

 

[Buzzzzd]

I may go have a chew tomorrow when I'm doing the gardening.

I find that it takes about an hour or a bit more to kick in - my original cob was an experiment so I don't think I got real good results - but I still found the high came on slowly but really enjoyable.

edibles are where it's at for me the taste fades out as i chew and swallow, the cobs are what the gov . gummies wish they would grow up to be ,as far as smoking , dispo weed can't hold a light to a cob,even smoked
