Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

SweetSue said:
Looking good Shaman. :high-five: How are you finding they effect you?



We did get spoiled pretty quickly, didn't we Neiko? :D

Opening them up weekly for the first month is to release the moisture slowly as they cure. The only way we'll learn if this is necessary is to try some without opening them. I wouldn't do that with freshly-harvested. What I learned from mine was to let it dry more than I was when they were opened.




I have some of the ziploc bags but I lack the adapter. That's something to add to my Amazon order this month. I think they may be the way to go.

We're all gonna end up with a sh**load of cobs to choose from. That makes storage more challenging without something easy to use. The FoodSaver sells storage containers too. That might be an option for cobs you want daily access to. I'll have to pick some up and try. They won't be as oxygen free as the bags, but they may be good enough for daily use.

I got a few of those zip vac bags with my vac sealer. The vac sealer has a pump attachment for zip bags and special tops to put on jars. I'ma thinkin' again!
 
Hi Sue being a lazy sod I couldn't be bothered digging out the full cobs of these examples from my daily jar.
But it gives a good cross section of what I have un vacuumed in my working jar no mold ever and still a little moist
At least enough to keep their own distinctive aromas.

Just had my Gigabud Cob 2125pm.

I feel a serious good high coming on. It's creeping for sure. All the areas from the accident are lighting up numb as hell. I'm finding it very difficult to type. Going to watch UFC225 so we'll see how it goes since the smoke. 2144

2156 - Stood up and was off balance. Went to the other room, my legs are not coordinated for sure. Difficult to type. A little at a time, every area that was affected in the accident are making their locations known then numbing out. Pretty awesome. I'm getting cotton mouth.

2037 - Stumbling around when I'm up. Typing is becoming a problem. My attention span is nil. I might turn the fights off and go to bed. I want to watch Dexter. I watched the first 2 seasons but I tend to watch the whole season in one sitting. Don't want to do that tonight. I'm feeling a numbing head high now, slightly trippy. More water, more water.

Much stronger than flower Gigabud. Much different high. The Cob of Gigabud is a steroid version for sure.
 
@tangwena, feeling a little like a proud papa? :battingeyelashes:
 
Its 3 hrs into the GT trip. Its super euphoric I have had two waves that have floored me mentally and after each I come back even higher its like an out of control car but no paranoia just an awestruck observer.
Its crazy I wish I had someone to party with ha ha no sleeping today ha ha.
I was re sealing my GT cobs from this last harvest and I took a nibble her a nibble there from pieces that either fell off or I broke off.
Nailed those babies for sure, they are aging now and when they are a couple of months old will make you so high and so cool in your minds eye you feel like the Emperor who has no clothes.
I cant wait to turn on my friends with this stuff it will put a rocket up them into the Ecstacy range.

Ooooo.... Thank you for this. I missed it earlier. Ok.... I feel good about storing. *contented sigh*.

Today was a good day. That much I remember. Lol! Coffee with the daughter, a couple ongoing text conversations with members, Callanetics. All in all a good day. I remembered to feed myself. The cobs do sometimes become distracting. Lol!

Tomorrow I'll try a smaller dose and give it time before I supplement. Large doses wear me out.
 
I find micro dosing is just right sometimes but I dont smoke so it probably wont work with you seeing your a smoker.
I'm going to need something to switch me off ha ha.
I feel like I'm still in a comedy show this high needs a lot of stimulating things to keep it occupied at this dose + or - 0.6g its got lots of go.
I feel like booking an air fare to Malawi to see my old friends and show them what a maroongoo can do I got that right.

I live for the moment I am in every day, because I cant remember what I did this morning.
I think I oiled about 10 chairs and a long table outside watching the ocean the day after a storm.
Its just seething but flat. I visited Alice big time today I think I took the red pill ha ha.
I'm just waiting for that rabbit to show up so I can get back home in time for tea ha ha.
The boys got style I'll give him that. Just rambling out loud its what I do while awaiting the bus home.

Yeah......it didn't work out that way. Lol! I just popped the whole piece into my mouth without thinking. :rofl:
 
@tangwena not that we like to experiment here a bit, but if you were to give us some bases for the other cures I bet we may be able to come up with a few hundred ways it don't work and maybe just maybe the one that will for you.
 
My Red Diesel was ready to cob. So I did. :battingeyelashes:

.....Oh....how's the ride, you ask? I had little tingly rushes all over my skin for about two hours. When the daughter and I walked to and from the coffee house it felt like the wind was dancing on my skin. Lol!

I love the way cobs bring you into a new awareness of the truth that life is a game to be played with childlike wonder. :green_heart:

And I agree with JustMeds Tangwena. Turn these guys on to some alternative methods and watch what they come up with. They never cease to amaze me. :battingeyelashes:
 
I would if I knew myself. All I have is memories of the texture, look and smell.
From experimentation I am starting to understand how to make the changes happen so all I need is to put the recipes together.
Its like eating a cake and loving it. Knowing how to bake cakes but not having the exact recipe if you know what I mean.
If I had enough buds and time to play around with them it wouldn't take long but I dont.

Some examples would be individual little buds about the size of your finger nail, perfectly compressed but each separate not together like in a cob. Very resinous reds and oranges and smelling of sweet pine.

Another would be stringy shriveled semi compacted in a cob red,gold and yellow colors. Smelling of sandalwood and moth balls that was so strong it made people puke the high came on so fast your body functions couldn't keep up.

Yet another was very loose buds in a big cob of banana bark. The buds were silvery color with golden resin the smell I cant describe I have never smelt it since very distinctive very strong high super trippy.

One in particular from Tete in northern Mozambique was stringy almost black in color very strong smelling of pine disinfectant super sticky and stinky came on like an injection of LSD it was very hard to handle lots of hallucinations very visual at night.

The list goes on all fixed in my memory of course you would need the right plants to begin with and then the right cure.
I have never seen or smelt anything like them outside of central Africa despite trying just about every modern hybrid out there.
The cures and highs were all very distinctive from each region we in the west are just amateurs good at breeding and growing but haven't got a clue when it comes to curing.
The only way it would work is if we had a live in work shop for a year or two like a university degree in curing.
Doing it over the internet is a poor second. But its all we have got so we will stumble along playing catch up to hundreds of years of accrued African know how.
I wish I had photographed and documented each one but back in those days it was not possible like it is in todays digital world.

Hi tangwena .... when you have a moment, could you share how you make oil from cured cobs?

Im looking fwd to a second cob method - when the time is right. Woohoo :thumb:

Its dead easy my friend use aged cobs and grind them up. Then use Iso or butane any kind of alcohol you normally use I just soak the ground up cobs then purge the iso ect.
The oil is very thick and very sticky also super potent the high is nothing like the cobs chewed or smoked.
It will of course depend on the strain but what we used to make was like acid/speed smoked I was hooked on it for years and its the reason my lungs are cactus now.
 
So we get to experiment guys. That's good news for a bunch of cannabis lab rats, isnt it? :battingeyelashes:

Tangwena, how long would be a typical soak of the cobs in solvent?

Just had some Zamaldelica cob i was feeling a bit burnt out after yesterdays trip. If things get random you know why.
It just depends on what your after quick wash 20 mins golden oil like grease.
Or couple of days it turns out so thick its like grease smear some on glass its golden but concentrated looks black and very tacky much more so than regular oil.
I am sure you guys know how to make oil its any way you like to normally. Its just the new high and the oil is way thicker really tacky.
Try it you will like it. Just as the high from cobs is different so is the oil.
I found it very hard to stop smoking it, it seemed to be very addictive.
Luckily after I left Africa I couldn't find it any more in England only hash oil and that was so different in a bad way that I never liked it.
I had friends in London who brought oil back from Goa in condoms when they found they couldn't get all the oil out they dissolved the whole lot in acetone rubbers and all. After that I never touched oil unless I made it myself its to easy to contaminate.
My friends reckon the cob oil is so thick and sticky its hard to smear on a cig paper without ripping it. Warming it up helps it becomes more viscous.
My friend came home from work with a mate at lunchtime to try a hit of Malawi mixed with GT oil I gave him. One bong hit and they were rolling around like kids in his laundry they couldn't stop laughing and lost track of time.
Luckily their boss is a smoker so he wasn't fired when he rolled up for work after a 3 hr lunch break.
He had to go home straight away as he couldn't remember instructions the second after he was given them ha ha.
Since then he has always hassled me for more every time I see him.
When I get to many cobs I make oil with the old ones its way too strong to ingest getting the dose right is impossible and its way to tacky and messy to use.
