I have found some of these salt deposits in my herb and I only use compost with the occasional dusting of rock dust. I think it can happen regardless of using chemical fertilizers.

Hi my friendMy next question is how much to make?
I've never had it before and don't know if I like it. But I'm willing to commit.
I've read the comments about how you wish you had made more.
I like the idea of storing and aging it but don't know what those limits are.
I have 6 strains - 7 plants some even seeded like Tang likes.
Is an ounce cob per plant way too much? Do a half ounce?
Or 2 ounces per plant, one the dryer cob and one the wet?
It's just me and the girlfriend. Flower and hash is how I've been handling it to this point.
It sounds like you can spare a few ounces of each from your hash stash.
At least an ounce as it helps the process if the cobs have a bit of meat to them.
I have cobs from 6 years back that still work fine. The oldest is 2017 ha ha.
Once the cure is to your taste dry and reseal them to age, they last a LONG time but like anything each has its primo age 2 to 3 years is my preferred age.
Post pics as you go and we can guide you. But I dont think you will need much guidance as your experience with both flower and hash will steer you on the right path I'm sure.
No my friend the salts are from the juice that is produced during the cure.
I'm no scientist and have no idea what they really are but I used to see them in traditionally grown and cured cobs in Central Africa.
Its like sugar crystals and vary in color from white all the way through honey and gold to deep red sometimes in the same cob.
All I know for sure is that it makes for a great euphoric result in the cob.
I'm just winding up a very successful 6 week fishing trip as I type this I'm all worn out and busted up from non stop fishing.
Had some huge battles with big sharks, they sure take it out of you I need a few months off now ha ha.
Thanks for your reply, that's interesting about the crystal formation.
If you have never caught a large fish, you don't have much understanding just how physical it gets landing them.
Hope you got some fish for the freezer.

Amazing looking cobs @Baba Karuna! I always appreciate seeing the cobs you create, the visual quality of them is quite stunning, and I suspect the effects are the same... thanks for sharing.Opened up this cheese auto from seedsman yesterday. A very nice chew with deeply relaxing effects, centered and calm. Slightly fruity and hashy taste.

My neighbor with a gift fish.
View attachment 19080451
Hey @Tangwena, that "gift fish" Is almost as big as she is!! Nice gift!!
Oh yes, and those macro shots are always amazing to see
That's a gift alright, plenty of good eating on that fish. What a good neighbor you are!
I'm looking forward to the day I can try making a cob, perhaps after this up and coming crop I can give it a try. I am 75 years old so I don't know how long I could age it but I will give it a go.
I have a couple of lung diseases and smoking is out of the question so I use edibles. It would be nice to try some cob without the cookie part just straight up cobbed cannabis. I have chronic pain and use cannabis for relief from the pain and etc. I also have a prescription for morphine that I've taken since 2010. Cannabis has helped me navigate my health issues, so I am always on the look out for ways to find relief from my chronic health problems.
Looking at your fishing adventures reminds me of my own, it would be physically impossible for me to land a fighting fish these days. Maybe a minnow
Is it possible already dried/cured buds could be cobbed? It doesn't sound like it, but will ask.
Too good Tang! Nice fish! Happy neighbor, happy life. Those we know aa grouper and ive never gotten one that big up. They go down to their coral head and break off. How many lbs or kgs the fishing line? I wasnt sure the best way, almost seemed to be to throw the boat in gear and pull it off the reef haha.
Thanks for clarifying the crystals... to me thats the goods recrystallizing (spelling?)
After being liquified by the terps and whatnot.

Have fun with your magic crystal infused cobs guys! 
Almost like a piece of Kandis sugar! Do you english guys just call it rock sugar?
Oh, it isn't just me using the good old Color Note App!

Wow - finally someone older than me !!!!!
I don't think it works very well with rehydrated weed. If you have a crop coming due soon you might as well give it a go!! I am "almost" totally edibles now - except for using the "One Hitter" just as a tester to figure out strength etc.I use the cob to make chocolates and Cococanna oil in capsules and my wife makes Ginger cookies with the oil.
