SE Asian bamboo cured CPR 🔴 Colombian Punto Rojo 🇨🇴 2021

[Lugo]

Tried my hand at a slightly modified SE Bamboo cure a few years back. 2 things:

1) I did not use mature/ripe bamboo which is ideal, I used already dried and pretty much cured bamboo

2) I did not pack it at the ideal drytime which is when the flowers are just wilted and soft


3) Did not bury it, just threw it in a zip-lock ad airtight as possible. I think I used a straw to pull air out.

After a few months I opened it and my first impression was just how sweet it smelled. The bamboo I guess removed the piney/limey sharp notes and left a super soft, almost chocolatey sweet smell and taste. There was a bit of something yellow (like tiny paint chips) sprinkled on the surface that kind of put me off. I was worried it could be some kind of mold. I cleaned off some to taste it and the high much like the smell was softer, slower as opposed to the speedy up high. It gave you like a lazy laugh lol. I should still have a bit. But hoping to try it again proper. The column broke into 3 pieces and I gave one to my Nigerian friend so I should have 1 left somewheres. The cork came of a bottle of RSO too. Maybe that helped. Last pic is the same flower used.

Nice looking buds as well.

90% of the flower coming out of Corinto is from clones which has maintained a uniform and steady supply of flower to feed national and int'l (within SA) demand for years.


As far as 80's stock being dead, well I respectfully disagree.


Cheers!

Last time colombian brick arrived to the southern cone was the end of 80s and it was brick called Punto Rojo and it is legendary brick, the best paraguayans of the time were on par with it but the paraguayan brick was very different, it was rubbery, very sticky and was very difficult to smoke well

Colombian kids are coming south these days and they bring with them weed which looks, smells, tastes and hit like Amnesia dutch coffee shop flower be it bud or brick and they call it with pompous names like colombian gold . Probably very similar to the weed grown at these greenhouses called pesebres de marihuana



Do you know how the brick was made back then in the 80s??? What exact tecnique was used?
In Paraguay they use perique technique

I got some natural bamboo in the neighbourhood, any special tip for making this cure?
I plan to leave it at the greenhouse for 6 months after harvest from winter to summer. I wasnt thinking on a ziplock, just seal the cork with bee wax and it should make bamboo vacuum
I can make the banana bark cure and the bamboo cure of the same strain side by side

Thank you very much for posting, your weed looks superb, I certainly would love to grow real Corintos and taste those beauties

Well if you have access to bamboo thats great, just make sure that when you chop its mature and also in accordance to the moon cycle. This is the methodology used in cutting bamboo for long life, construction and for the health of the grove.
If you have access to soil i'd try more than method. I'd definetely try burying it in a pot of some very compact soil or clay. Im gonna assume that if you've got bamboo you must have some mild temps.

I can't find the thread you were referring to btw

Just saw the clip, quite shameful. The hipocrisy of the far right Narco-state that was Duques gov't.

I hope to be producing some soon from seed, theres alot if confusion and disinformation (ie lies) about 'strains' from this region.

Sounds like it worked out pretty well. I wonder if the yellow flecks could have been bamboo the resin had pulled off the interior? Be curious what you have learned about these cures. Anything you would have done different? This would be a great method to revise and experiment with.
