Malawi Style Cob Curing.

Beautiful cobs everyone!! 🤩 On the note of managing anxiety I agree with all who suggested breathwork and meditation (although the word meditation can be a block for some, so a good friend suggested calling it Inward Time, where we just be still and inwardly silent to connect with the natural Peace of our Being that is always Eternally present but gets obscured by the mind) The breath is our connection to Source. Remembering "You are not your thoughts" and stepping back to become the witness/observer of them is immensely helpful, it becomes a daily exercise. Watch the thoughts without attachment as you would watch the clouds come and go across the sky. You are the sky, unaffected by whatever appears. Over the years I've found listening to conscious talks/wisdom teachings incredibly helpful as well (Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, Rupert Spira, just to name a few to start with) The mind is a great servant but a terrible master!

I unsealed this smaller Zamaldelica x Kali China (Ace seeds) 5 and a half months old. 3 days dry, No sweat. Smells and tastes very tangy/fermented/spicy/sour (I once read a description of ZKC as smelling of dry carrots and sweat socks but in a good way and now that's all that comes to mind when I smell it 🤣) I love the flecks of red orange hairs fused into the black buds 😍 Chewed a tiny test piece around 9pm before reading how you guys don't usually chew past mid day 🤣 Oh well, what else are Saturday nights for?? Currently feeling a lovely blissful slightly energized vibe 🥰 We'll see if I manage to get some sleep tonight.. and if not, I'm ok with being awake and listening to records all night 🎶😂

Wow thats a really dark cure from no sweating it looks awesome.

Today i mixed two cobs, my dose was 3/4 Mulanje and 1/4 Mulanje x Colombian Gold/Demon Latcher.
It was like going up on acid and had me flashing back to trips i took in London in 1976 on microdots.
I could recall every second of the day including smells and tastes it was a day that got out of hand really quickly.

I had just arrived from Malawi with some killer cobs. I met up with some friends squatting in an old Victorian house just off Abbey Road.
We started off buying a bottle of Southern Comfort and a bucket of ice cubes from a pub down the road.
Drinking Southern Comfort on ice and smoking Malawi grass we got out of control real fast ha ha.

Then a friend dropped off my order of green microdots that he had gone to score on my behalf.
We thought it was a good idea to drop 3 in the remaining half a bottle of Southern Comfort the acid was quickly absorbed into the alcohol and the party just out of control from there it was a riot.

The squat was full of broke ass South Africans and colonial refugees and the word spread quickly free Malawi smoke, booze and acid it was a welcome to London I will never forget ha ha.

Amazing thread :)

I decided to make some first experiments. I am working on a more brick-style variant, this time more like a thin plate :)

I redesigned some parts of a small squeezing machine so that I have a mold. This machine provides some serious pressure, adjustable.

So, this is just a quick shot with some material I could spare.

Semi dried, pressed, sealed, sweat for 24h @40° C, now drying, smells and tastes brutal :D

Yes I had a flash of inspiration while tripping the other day.
It was in the form of a dream that candy bar shape pressed cobs were the way to perfecting cures.
I cant wait for my next harvest the make some.
The ones I have made previously cured perfectly but I traded them them for some fresh mullet for bait.
Now I wish I still had some, such is life wisdom is hard to retain in ones head ha ha.

I have no experience to this day with this technique. I did not expect the material to look like this 24 hours after sweating. I chewed a tiny bit and got an effect within 1 minute, I also did not expect that. I will have to try again to be sure, maybe in a sober condition, somehow :D

I would check right away color differences, like press 10 min and check, vs after the 24 hours to see any color similarity and difference in the name of science
I pressed maybe for 5 seconds. Then I folded the resulting "bud-plate" and pressed again for 5 seconds. I am a little bit lost interpreting your post and the pressing time and color differences. Would you care to elaborate?

The beauty of the resin is an indicator of the effects so trippy this is Mulanje and Mulanje x CG/DL a very spacey trippy high like blotter when mixed together in the right percentages.
