Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

After about 25 hours sweating you can see the husk absorbed lots of purple. It smells very sweet and floral like lavender maybe. Nothing at all like the other three I made.

I'm harvesting 2, maybe 3 plants today and would love to try this. I have the foodasaver lids and attachment to do it. If I follow what you say then we skip the ferment stage? Just sweat then dry then leave in the jar vacuumed at room temp? Any other tips?

Hi brother you still need all the steps as per cobbing. Just taste and smell them as per usual. One thing I noticed was it takes longer to get the sweet smell this way it usually only comes when they are dryingafter curing for a week or two.

these are some GT buds sweating in the vacuumed jar and after 24hrs at 40c. The buds have turned color and the sugar leaves will turn during the cure stage. Its just as fast as the cob cure but because it is not compacted the effects are different to the canary or the cob. I dont smoke so I cant vouch for the effects but chewed they were different depending on the length of sweat and cure the same as cob curing. Have fun.

Its just the same as cobbing just make sure you put some paper towels in the bottom of the jar or else the lower buds will be sitting in water. You will be able to see the sweat come out of the buds and depending on how fresh they were going in it can be considerable. I have done this with buds straight from the plant, its interesting watching them sweat and then drying them of excess water before revacuuming them for the cure stage.
Although the cure stage is a lot longer you can see the changes through the jar. Keep the jar warm to speed things up.

A tip if you have big jars sweat them as above dry them of excess water then semi compact them or loosely squashed together for the cure. I have even cobbed them very loosely and then vacuumed them in the jar they cure way differently and of course the effects are different again. This cure is mainly for smoking if you get it right they are very mild and aromatic tasting smoked. Mild as in your not going to cough a lung out.

You said something I never considered. You said you can cure them too long. I was under the impression the longer the cure the better. I have cobs that are 3 months into the cure now, should I dry them now or is it too late?

Its never too late my friend you just loose the terpy smell the high is still there and changing all the time.
The changes that happen in curing depend on the moisture content and temps. Once I smell that sweet smell I like I start partially drying them (weekly). If you dry them enough it slows down the cure and makes it slower so the oils and terps dont change as much.
If you like a certain aroma and effect (from testing) yes dry them more fully for aging or they will carry on curing and changing.
Once dried you halt it at that stage and then its just aging that improves everything without fermentation/curing changing the smell taste and effect.
Long cured buds can be very strong effects even though the smell and taste are ordinary compared to the more aromatic shorter cures.
Every batch of cobs will have its own character you can never reproduce it exactly no matter what you do. Of course you can reproduce the same look or style by following the same recipe but the effects will always be subject to change, like wine vintages a good year will produce exceptional wine. Its the same with cannabis curing cob style.

That’s amazing that it will always be different..... Do y’all ever hear something and think....that’s gonna drive me crazy!!
But in a good way! :bong:
 
Hi fellow enthusiasts today I took 0.25g of the Malawix Ethiopia I sweated for 24hrs and cured for only 3 days before I started the slow dry and aging.
They are all 6 weeks into aging.
The first 3 hours I spent writhing around on my yoga mat moaning "sweet Jesus and Oh my God" a lot. The waves of ecstacy just melted my mind my body just evaporated.
I was out of my mind for 3 hrs riding wave after wave of uphoria it was way too strong to function so I just went with it.
Its 4 hours now and I'm on a very high plain and feeling energetic in a tripped out sort of way.
The mental waves getting here were just mind blowing. I think a good functioning dose of this for me would be 0.1g or less ha ha.

Check out the sugar on the close up. the last 2 pics are Golden Tiger same recipe I haven't tried it yet ha ha
