Malawi Style Cob Curing.

[moose/MI]

Made up a 3rd cob a minute ago.
A smaller purple satellite.
Rolled this one by hand with a corn husk.
Got her sweating.

A 24 hours sweat at a near constant 110°f and the early tester went from harsh, cough inducing flowers to now tasting smooth, almost like sweet pickles(bread and butter style). Tastes good but I expect it to get even better once the ferment is finished. Just a small .25 piece kept me medicated and stable for about 2.5 hours.

Thank you for weighting your Dose, that is realy helpfull for me

Have a Nice day 🪬

My Trophy Wife is the expert on baking but basically any cookie recipe that includes an oil, I think she just figures out how many cookies the recipe calls for and roughly substitutes an equal amount of infused Coconut oil - so depending on the appropriate dosage of your cococanna oil. You can use all cococanna or whatever you need for the number of cookies and add regular oil to get to the proper amount of oil for the recipe.
Hope that helps!!!
If everything stays on track I should have way more Cobs than I will need so I am going to try to make some Cococobby oil !! That should make some great cookies!!!!!

Thanks so much!!!

...It doesn't take long to get an oversupply of cobs does it? ha ha.
I have the same problem but its too much fun growing and making cobs to stop isn't it?

Amen to that brother!! It's way too much fun, cheers!

I agree cob oil is way to potent to get into I prefer the raw cob.
When I was younger I used to smoke a mix of oil and cob but it was made from Malawi which we bought locally and was like speed, so the oil was the same only stronger ha ha. But hell on my lungs its why I can no longer smoke or vape.

@Tangwena, that is the truth after i found this thread, i now ,have cobs from every harvest alot of the time more than 50% of the harvest goes to cob! thanks for keeping this moving all this time!

Resealed. Check it in a week.
Add it to the growing collection.

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!

Bubba's gift with Pina Colada taste sound very good for me !!!

Doing one of my all time favorite pastimes apart from growing and harvesting ha ha.
These cobs were made in August and are out for a dry/inspect and sample ha ha.
Not really they are too young as yet but I'm tripping balls on some 18 months old Colombian Gold x Demon Latcher.
Its super euphoric and I feel on top of the world hence the cob inspection and pics ha ha.

First up some CG/DL x Mulanje cobs well one big one cut into pieces to fit in da bag ha ha.
Smells so sweet menthol and pine funk its going to be trippy once cured I just know it ha ha.

Then some really really nice smelling Mulanje more sour menthol and pine candy bars my face is feeling nervous just looking at it ha ha.
This stuff can be so strong you can leap tall buildings ha ha.
I just love becoming a raving lunatic after chewing this stuff ha ha.
Theres nothing subtle about this gear its like riding a rocket the initial rush up can be scary for those who haven't actually experienced getting high on real Malawi before ha ha.

Are you doing the candy bars just in the vacuum or are you pre pressing in a mold?

I'm using a mold to compact them then removing them and vacuum sealing them as normal.
Once cured they are like biscuits and real easy to cut up into doses for chewing.

Enjoy your goodies 🪬

As anyone into cobbing can tell you the aromas from freshly opened bags during the curing phase can be quite overwhelming if you love your cannabis ha ha.
Once aged its more subdued but usually still there once ground up.
I just love sniffing the old bags its olfactory heaven ha ha.

Gorgeous colors! @Tangwena I would love to experience the Malawi high some day! I have a quick question about the drying/inspecting process. How long do the cobs stay at room temp after the ferment with weekly/bi-weekly inspections before drying more to halt the process? I remember reading the aromas/nose will be the guide, but do you guys find it takes a couple weeks or more like a couple months for your herbs to hit that sweet spot?

 

[gumzgi]

i got some buds that are dryin normaly and at day 4 like they crispened out, i take them from the dryin room to my closed room to sweat them for overnight here in the open , tommorow can i just air them for like till i feel them crisp again and then just vacumseal all the buds in a bag and open this bag for once a week for 4 weeks and then left closed at room temp? the room has like higher rh like 58-65 , whould this rh affect when in vaccseal ?what would you think ? can they be vacumsealed right away in the morning from the sweat ? or should i air them for a hour or two then vaccumseal them ?

 

[Taima-da]

Just air them if they feel or smell damp.
Otherwise all good

 

[gumzgi]

nothing smells damp or feels damp they sweated a bit ,i smoke a bud and smokes great, il air them for 2 hours then vacumseal everything in a bag

What a great thread thanks for sharing. I'm going to be harvesting next month, Jamaican pearl is the most sativa plant I have running at the moment and will be using the method from the first 20 pages or so of this thread to make some cobs. I also have lots of hybrids running that I'll make some cobs with too. Was there ever a good smoke report of indica cobs?

 

[Taima-da]

Yes, smooth with a deep activity. Had some excellent cob from indies and hybrids.
