My shopping cart is getting full! Lol. But after watching this thread had to go to Ace and check it out! Added Malawi x Panama to the cart for the cob experience. Good choice?

Anything heavy sativa should be a good choice I think.
Excellent choice. It's my favorite cob. It's much better than the jar cured flower. If I were you i'd cob the whole harvest!
I appreciate it! Thanks for the advice!

I know you don't use the husk anymore. I do for the sweat and the cure, then it can come off with the aging. That being said I think I may have to plant a corn field.... LOL

What a marvelous buzz! 
The Carnival improves. Lol! Not that I'm surprised. I had a difficult time staying on track while making breakfast, though I did the job and the consuming successfully. The spacial shifts are more pronounced and I have tingly waves running under my skin. 
Company's coming in a bit. Hash Hound's stopping to ogle my new Timbers and help me with some garden challenges. By the time he gets here I should be closer to the Earth.

With you brother its a special part of the cure for me too. Uncobbed is great also I do both but I feel more connected with a cob cure.
I love making them. Now I might not share that same joy after another 20 or 30 cobs, but for now its a blast. I know Ms Stank chuckles as I sit there cursing at the cob as I keep doing something wrong LOL. "Shit, ripped the damn husk again" or "Damn it, its looking like a dog turd again" "Nope, gotta start over again...great. Oh and of course, no more wet husks.....great planning dip shit!"
Ah the stuff I enjoy torturing myself with!

Hiya Cobsters!!! As. i had posted to Tangwena on another forum...... I think it's very cool with the cob cure as if you say pull three ounces off your plant, you could potentially have three seperate expressions/effects/high from just one plant!! Kinda blows my mind. Just take notes....sometimes happy accidents happen anf you might invent some crazy mind trip ticket!!! Oooooo the variations!!! Blowing my mind.

With so many people now cobbing has the technique changed any since the original post? Any discoveries? Easier ways to do things? Faster ways? Equipment?
If everything is still the same as the original post then fantastic but if there's been any significant changes or knowledge gained in the past 3 months and 2100+ posts is there any chance someone (@SweetSue?) could do an updated how-to guide? Unless there's already been an updated how-to in which case please point me to the post so I can hopefully get into this cobbing thing myself soon.

This. Do this. Science n stuff. Same plant so same base material and the only difference is how you cob it. This would give lots of information on the effects because the only variables you alter is the cob/cure/ferment (keep lots n lots of notes) and not have to worry about all the other variables of the plant chemovar, amber amount, harvest time, nutrients, lights, etc.

Hi my friend the amber resin content of buds is no longer needed just go by the maturity of the flowers calyx size resin coverage and amber pistils. Pull at different stages of maturation for different effects. I never look at the resin color just the maturity of the flowers.
The resin is going to change so much during fermentation amber content is superfluous. The trippiest cob I have made was from early harvested Panama that was all clear resin before the cure.
You only need amber resin if your going to dry the bud at that point and halt any changes from that point on to make hashish.
Scoping resin on the buds is in my opinion not needed at all with this cure.
Not many people agree with me but I am of the opinion that plants should be cured whole before making hashish or at the very least the hashish itself should be cured.
I had a friend in England who's dad refused to smoke the hash sold in England from his home in Lebanon as he said it was uncured green resin. He said his Dads family had always cured their hash bricks before smoking. I never asked him how they did it but a quick google search should turn up a few ways.

I'm sure you didn't intend it that way but it really looks like you completely dismissed my comments by zeroing in on one tiny part of my post and ignoring everything else. Your entire post was about the amber and that apparently not making any difference yet you ignored the rest of what I said and focused on just the amber. Please read again "all the other variables of the plant chemovar, amber amount, harvest time, nutrients, lights, etc." I didn't talk about just amber I mentioned a whole heap of variables but you dismissed everything else because apparently amber makes no difference. So fair enough amber may not make much of a difference but the other variables do which you ignored by focusing on just the amber.
And regardless of if amber resin has any effect on the cob my other comments still stands which you again completely dismissed. "Same plant so same base material and the only difference is how you cob it. This would give lots of information on the effects because the only variables you alter is the cob/cure/ferment". So again regardless of if amber makes any difference if you use the same plant (say 3 ounces worth) and cob/cure/ferment that one plant into 3 different 1 ounce cobs and only change the cob/cure length/process then like I said that will give you much more information on what effects you get from different lengths of cure/ferment. If you "Pull at different stages of maturation for different effects" like you said then your variables are not just cobbing/curing/fermenting but also the different harvest times and maturation (which would also mean different amounts of light, days alive, watering and nutrients, and other variables) so you'd have no idea which variable you altered had which effect which is why if you really want to do a proper test on the effects of cobbing you need to use the same base material and only alter the cobbing process. You can of course do it your way and "Pull at different stages of maturation for different effects" but to do a proper test for that you'd need to cob/cure the exact same way and only alter the variable of harvest time.
Am I speaking English? Am I not explaining myself properly?
Peace 
Just seems like a misunderstanding of the question posed. You’re stating that if you alter the cure on say 3 samples of the same plant then you take away all the variables and can see how just modifying the cure process effects the end product. Would be interesting info to gather with that intent! But also interesting info in Tangwena ‘s post about having the trippiest effect when harvested earlier. Good stuff!!

I believe you are speaking English, but a little hard on the word choice, suggesting that something's amiss in your world that we aren't privy to. Tangwena meant no offense Night.
We haven't been at this process here for four months yet, and it's to be expected that our initial reaction will be more excitement than science. As we move forward all the variables will be tampered with and documented, that information shared, and we can begin to get to the nitty gritty. First we learn technique, then we begin to get all scientific. Early harvest effects are new to many of us, a whole new rabbit hole to tumble down. Lol!
For now I'd like us to continue this playful attitude the cobs inspire. We'll get to the science soon enough.
I'd been considering putting together a modification to the first post because we have discovered that the dehydrators work well for the sweat as well as for the fermentation stage, with modification. I was planning to let it all run for six months before editing the opening post, by which time we'd have more cobs done and more experience with the effects. I wasn't planning on it taking off like this.
I'll see what I can pull together and have a mod do an edit switch for me. Hopefully I'll get to it this week.
