Malawi Style Cob Curing.

When you have the time to mix and match its what its all about for sure. You get to feel like a real medicine man from the home country Africa she speaks to your soul through the cob.
I call it seeing Alice going down the rabbit hole you will never be the same again well at least until the next foray.

Me too brother but when I'm high on the right cob I feel reborn again clear of any nagging problems.
I cant even face the day unless I know I can get out of it ha ha.
Live for the moment enjoy every second and feel blessed to be able to get high and erase all that negative energy in the end it serves no good purpose.

I greatly enjoy mixing various cobs together for chewing. Yesterday I mixed some Lebanese 🇱🇧 and Peruvian 🇵🇪 and it was spectacular 🤩 today I’m cruising on multiple phenotypes of Lebanese. I notice better results when I consume a mix vs single plants. I still enjoy the single plant effect especially when trying out a new cob to get a feel for it but the mix is just so groovy 😎 it reminds me of how many plants would be mixed together to make the hash I grew up smoking, giving the resulting product a unique and complex signature.

I agree there is a lot of benefit from mixing different effects although sometimes I get effects cancelled out as well, there is a complex formula to get that perfect combination sometimes.
But once you find your perfect mix your golden ha ha.
I find it easier to mix the end products than trying cross breeding to get the results its def quicker ha ha.

Looking the goods my friend best dry them a bit before resealing or they will keep changing color to a darker look with less terpenes maybe do one one way and another a different level of moisture to see which you prefer.
Being Malawi genes its potential rocket fuel ha ha.
Any pics of the buds?

Yessir, my TLT Malawi gold is not quite ready that was a bud I was forced into removing because the branch was gonna snap. I chopped a few yesterday looking much better now.

I'm at 42.2N I can't grow the real long stuff outdoors here.
This caught my eye because it has some landrace in it. 9 week - first of October plant and some Malawi in it too.
You guys keep mentioning the Malawi. 🤔
A guy that grows a lot of there stuff said it was his favorite out of the last 20 he's grown.
Has anyone heard of Orange Burmese from Equilibrium?

1000022414.jpg

☀️ Type: Sativa dominant​

🌹 Aroma: Earthy citrus​

🌲 Flower: 9 weeks / 1st week of Oct.​

🌱 Orange Burmese = Burmese Landrace ♀ x African Orange ♂​

Burmese Landrace ♀ is a pure sativa from Burma which grows medium tall with semi dense flowers. It has hashy, earthy and sweet smelling buds and a medium high yield. Buds finish in early October.

African Orange is a cross of Agent Orange and an Heirloom Malawi from the Santa Cruz Mountains. The African Orange male providing pollen was big and stretchy, with long node spacing and heavy pollen production. These some of the largest plants we have seen outdoors in the Emerald Triangle, displaying long colas with somewhat weaker branches that appreciate being supported with trellising. African Orange phenotypes have aromas ranging from a musky citrus, to a deep orange funk.

That shows some possibilities. Maybe let me get a taste of what you're experiencing?

Very cool I'm going to give some Malawi Gold a go next year myself.
This year I grew 3 different Malawi gold, Ace, Real seed company, and The Landrace team, they are all different. The real seed company and TLT plants flower forever and a day, Ace plants were done by late October - early November. 35°N. Im making a few cobs from each of them, Along with Somali Taxi Ride (Neville's wreck x Malawi gold).

Smoke test (11.28.2024)
1 hit... wow.. (had fun over 6 hours but barely remember details)
Next day update:
0.2 gram was too much for me..
Great colour.
Did you try the flowers after time under vac but before extraction? They look pretty deadly as they are... If you have any left they might benefit from being sealed up again for another few months... The results could be pretty astonishing just consumed as flower

Beautiful colors after 5 weeks very cool cure.
Making oil from cob cured buds and smoking it is a good way to loose your mind ha ha.
That cross would have been potent as cob cured bud let alone an oil extraction ha ha.

Very well, those are my favorite outdoor plants this year. Very potent. They get outta control but fill in nicely, here's a pic, shortly after the pic was taken them branches were flopping looking like a weeping willow, I had 2 plants and they were both finished by late October - first week of November.

So here's a funny..... My daughter came over from Pennsylvania and she brought her new fella to meet him. I'll refer to him as EJ. I've been talking to my daughter for a couple years about wanting to ferment some of the herb. So I cut one open and it was a white widow x cheese. (Kinda smelled like a pair of dirty socks and a leather belt had a baby) While it was growing. So I asked my daughter what she smelled and she got a funny look and said "hmmm I'm not sure" So I asked EJ and I said don't worry just be honest. (It smelled leathery last time I opened it) and he looked a little confused and said "hmmm it smells like beef jerky" I sniffed it and said "sonofabitch it does smell like jerky "!! And that 30 year old looked sooo relieved at that!!! He was like I didn't wanna offend ya cause he's thinking weed smells. Caught me off guard too!! But his first time meeting me. CLASSIC!!! I can't wait to eat some of that in a few months. It is a really dark color. Chocolate like. Am I imagining it or have I heard mention in this thread about a beef jerky scent? Maybe I'm just high!!

Here's some pictures ya filthy cobsters!! 😎✌️ View attachment 19105775 View attachment 19105778 View attachment 19105779 View attachment 19105780
looks like that will turn that head around!

Yes sir,
This was just a smoke test. Those 3 bags are set aside just to make Rick Simpson Oil.
1 bag with the vacuum-sealed flowers continues to cure (I am waiting for at least 6 months). I can only consume about 0.2 grams of Malawi with a rice grain-sized amount of RSO once or twice a week (maximum).
I haven't consumed regular cured cannabis since 2011 (ever since I learned about fermentation). Normally, I don't like the taste of cannabis when smoking it, BUT after fermentation, I end up licking my lips—there's such a difference.
 
Beautiful colors after 5 weeks very cool cure.

Yes Sir,

You put that in my mind last year. Lost my mind with AK-47.

This year cross more potent, stop feeding last 4 weeks (only living soil food web) very very smooth. Taste and aroma, even for 5 weeks beyond my primitive English.

I have spare just 1 bud for testing. But smoking it is like smoking aromatic hay compare to malawi.
