CaptainLucky's First Indoor Golden Tiger Grow 2023

Wait is that the fermented dark stuff?
hmm I've played with African musicians for a while, those guys always had weird dark purple compressed weed, that packed a punch, yes.. but I remember smoking it was well very different from the Dutch & Moroccan flavour I was used to.
Never vaped it though.
 
In a million years it didn't occur to me you were going to try making cobs and hadn't already read up on it.
Well you’re in luck because I have read multiple posts on making cobs. But I just figured you’d have a link for any of my followers to click on. CL🍀. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley:

I have heard that a lot of people chew and eat them saying that they’re high all day! That’s some kind supercharged 💩. I’m all for a day long buzz 🐝. Lmao 😜 CL🍀

It is true! Good cob when chewed will keep you high all day and into the evening.
If you completely go over to just chewing rather than smoking, then the quantities needed are miniscule! 50-100mg for the whole day.

Recently I've been smoking bongs and a few spliffs, but 500mg is still sufficient to keep me high all day, And I have a huge tolerance!

We like to mix of cobs and use combinations of different cobs (eaten) to get different effects.

Golden Tiger is my go to "heavy hitter".

Is it true that the longer it’s cured the more potent/powerful it becomes? CL🍀. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Cob Update: I decided on using twine instead of the cotton string. I think 🤔 it’ll do better than the string would’ve. Here’s a few pictures of what I’ll be using. CL🍀. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley:

No it's not true that it becomes stronger, but it does improve! The clarity is improved and so is the euphoria. The high from an aged cob is very different from the same weed jar cured.
Cobs are incredibly smooth to smoke, even after only a couple of months of cure. The older cobs are really really smooth!
What you will find with cobs are that they will keep for years without degrading.
Cobs won't turn hay into rocket fuel but will improve good weed.

Many beginner cob makers try it first with some air buds and the like and then wonder why they aren't as good as we say they are.
Thankfully you have the right starting material! 😍

What do you think about my plans to use the heating pad and crockpot? How long have you been making cobs? Any tips or recommendations? CL🍀. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
We used to get Cobs all the time when I was a bit younger. Straight from Malawi. They were the absolute best. Sadly I don't see them around anymore but then again i don't go looking to buy doob. I'm thinking about cobbing some malawi at the end of the summer next year to use for edibles. Wondering if the effect will carry through. If it doesn't, I'll just eat the guys lol

@CaptainLucky , I've made well over 70cobs over the last 3 years. My first attempts were to wet and resulted in a very dark cure.

I would suggest you leave the weed to hang dry until you would usually jar it ready for burping.ie if you skinned up with it, you'd have to keep relighting it to get it to burn. You'd be surprised how little moisture is required to get the initial ferment you start.

Use less heat rather than more, somewhere between 35-45c initially, but them once the first part of the ferment is done (somewhere between 8-48 hrs), then reduce the heat to say 30c or even lower.
Ideally you want a long slow cure.

You can even just vac buds that are almost dry and just leave them at room temperature for 6 months or more.

It is a pretty much bullet proof method and you can't really go wrong. Providing you get the initial ferment going and then (ideally) slow it down, then it will work.

All my friends love my cobs. ❤
 
I have some cotton string that I’m gonna use. Vacuum Sealer is coming tomorrow hopefully 🤞. I have a Vivosun heating pad and I was thinking 🤔 about using a crockpot. Any suggestions or recommendations? CL🍀. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley:
I was going to try my instapot in sous vide mode. It'll only hold a few at a time. That will be ok for me. I've used a hot tub before. Whatever you can to get near the # you need.
 
Back in the 90's when I use to grow the hash plant. I would pack a metal percussion cap tin & carry it in my pocket. It would get smoother & more powerful by end of week
 
I think my next closet grow is gonna be Acapulco Gold and Lambs Bread from @Canuck seeds. Special shout-out to Stacey for making this project possible. I will be starting it after my vacation in October. Stay tuned n happy growing. CL🍀. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
@CaptainLucky , sorry mate I can't. I've never measured humidity in my weed, so have no idea. Just when you'd normally jar it, but it still needs burping. Ie the stems snap when bent.

Just take 3 or 4 colas, squash them into a roll and vac them as they are.
I did it with some New Caledonia 2 harvest's ago and it came out very nice indeed, similar to a Thai stick in effect! The individual colas will still separate from each other once the cob is fully dry.

My daughter has just been visiting and we almost finished of the NC. This is all that's left.

As your a novice, (but hopefully not for long), I'd suggest that you open the cobs and allow them to dry well between stages; beginners often use too wet bud to start with and don't allow sufficient drying between the Initial ferment and the cure. A dense cob still contains a lot of moisture in its core. Let the surface become dry before resealing.

You asked earlier about the heat pad and Crockpot; apologies for not answering but I'm very loaded today ( 30mg Mulanje x Malawi/Ethiopian for breakfast and 500mg of Original haze for afternoon tea!) and I forgot.

Many people use them and they will work fine. I personally use a dehydrator and dial in the different temperatures that I want for ferment and cure, and also during the drying stages, I can do things a lot quicker. You will probably find that after the first ferment (8-48 hrs, depending on what you're after, temperature and your starting material's moisture content), that the drying the surface will take up to 48hrs at room temperature; I can do this in a dehydrator in 8 or so.

As you get more experience making cobs you'll want to try using different temperatures, sweat times (initial ferment times),moisture content and compression. All make subtle differences.😍

A good tip, I think; as soon as you notice a Slight! colour change in the bag, the ferment has started. So don't wait any longer to open the bag and dry the cob. If you wait until the colour has changed a lot, then the resulting cob will be dark and not as terpy. Nothing wrong with those cobs at all and I do make a few of them on purpose, but the lighter coloured, more terpy cobs give a more lively high. Dark cobs are more introverted.

Use your nose, you'll know the special smell when you smell it. It's very much an intuitive process and doing it by numbers won't cut it.
Give your cobs as much love as you gave the plant.😍

I'm really looking forward to hearing what you think of the GT in a few months. 🙂

Hey @Hombre del Monte the corn husks I just discovered are somewhat damp. Is this going to be a problem? CL🍀. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley:
