Hi my friend its better to start with drier buds that way they ferment less and keep more terps and speedy effects.i have seen tangwena uses dehydrator too when he dries the cobs at some intervals
its not about the dark , i had a year ago some cobs keept in the room that i sleep and here the rh vary alot and my cobs blacked out alot , im sure when i dryed them in the 1st stages i didnt dryed enough and there was still to much moisture in the cob and some got black and so i lost the flavor and that speedy high.
i will try dry more this year , gonna start make some cobs in a week
Good on you my friend the cob in the video looked very nice from what I could see.Thank you Tangwena for this wonderful post!
A few months ago I made about 10lbs of cobs from the last crop. These were all done with some legacy indica strains of average THC content but turned out pretty good so far with a 4 month cure! I have yet to try and eat some though. Is there a recommended starting dose for a heavy smoker?
I sent in a few samples for testing for both a regular jar cure and a cob cure and got some interesting results back. From the lab test we can see that THCA is converting to THC and the total THC content increased by almost 2%. I can also see that CBGA is converting to CBG.
I also sent one of the cobs to a friend who did a quick video on it and he is interested in doing a full review. See link from the 1 minute - 2 minutes or so YouTube Review (thought you guys might like this)

And 10lbs! WOW thats a lot of cobs but not if you have many friends ha ha.
As far as chewing goes a heavy smoker might need a gram to start with and even then it would depend on the strength of the pot used.
The high can feel subtle if your not used to it, its quite a different effect to smoking you dont get that BAM effect you get from smoking its more of a creeper effect like a sprint compared to a hike up a mountain ha ha.
The results are interesting thats for sure it would explain the natural de carb effect that seems to happen.
If you give chewing a go dont smoke at all that day to give it a chance to develop the high.
Please post a few close ups of the cobs they looked fantastic in the video.
Some beautiful colors there brother and a nice range of cures as well.
