I just can't not ask, Sue. What's with the toaster and what has it been toasting? Or did you leave a plastic cup on top that's now coating the inside?

It’s just a cheap toaster from Dollar General that peels and burns after years of use. Lol!
There was a bag melted onto the side once when I was inattentive while making toast, but as a rule I don’t turn it on when plastic sits atop it.

Just struck me as funny to see a toaster in, what everything else points to being a lab environment. That it was 'melted' just begged the question.

Lol! I’m a kitchen cannabis alchemist. That surface is also where I prepare my meals and then stand there eating while I do my calculations and make plans for more oil production.
Most of my spaces multitask. Lol! I sleep with tents and fans, use the open tiny closet to add lighting to the living space as it serves to grow cannabis..... hell, my bathroom’s functioned as an auxiliary flower room twice now.

Don't feel bad, the wife says I used the kitchen garbage barrel as an auxiliary bathroom a few times shortly after the skull fracture this past spring. I plead ignorance, don't recall a thing about it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I'm going to owe the OP half my first harvest for scrambling their pretty thread. Dobby must iron his hands!

I finally was able to make a cob. It’s sitting at 20 grams and is in the toaster oven @ 40c.
Very nice OB! Excited for you!I finally was able to make a cob. It’s sitting at 20 grams and is in the toaster oven @ 40c.
Unfortunately my first and only Cob thus far didnt ferment properly... my fault. I was waiting for he supplies to come in so I could cob the Panama... so I put it in the frisge for a few days... that was a mistake.
But I will be harvesting the Panama clone tomorrow and will probably Cob most, if not all of it, a few days after chop!
Can hardly wait to hear your report OB!!
4 weeks in on my fermented cannaberries! Weights are .2, .2, .1, and .1. So they lost about half the weight through the process. So for anyone interested in trying them out maybe that will help with determining initial size of berry. For instance, if your typical dose of a cob is .5 grams then start with around a gram size berry. They are definitely canna discs after vacuuming though! Lol

Sorry to hear yours didn’t work out. This will be an exercise in patience
I did the Saturday check and found them smelling very good. Put them back til next next Saturday. Got a pic of the tut one.

What a generous person you are to respond to each new poster. The Sous Vide is designed for long cooking times. A beef brisket can be cooked for 48 hrs for example.

WooHoo Oldbear!
Now I’m really getting excited. Lol!

I love the pucks Magoo! Hmmm..... this could be very interesting with something like the Dark Devil Auto.
One gram size, good to know.

Ooooo.... pretty..... I get so lost in them and end up spending an hour photographing. Lol! Isn’t this fun stoneotter?
I’m compelled to answer Dusted. Lol! It’s a trait we all take advantage of. Lol!
Sounds like it’ll work fine then.
You realize we’ll be waiting for a report. I’ve never explored sous vide cooking myself. I’m moving to New Orleans, and I suspect I have a whole mess ‘o new cooking knowledge to pick up. I’ve spent the last 39 years in Pittsburgh eating pierogies and Italian dishes.
Oh.... my cob report... the DDA I smoked last night was so smooth I wasn’t sure I was inhaling properly. Lol! Dang! That chemovar is some of the tastiest product I’ve come across. Mine was a combo of berry, fuel, and lime, all rolled together.
The smoke cloud from the cobs is always the sweetest thing, isn’t it? Reminds me of the finest tobacco.
Today I chewed up a 0.5 gram piece of the Zamaldelica x Panama canary. After about three hours it kinda slammed into me and made me shake a little. Lol! I like that racy edge, so it was ok with me. I got a whole mess of capsules filled in record time. Kept working until I started to tremor, more from fatigue and boredom than anything.
My cob buzz last night was augmented with the Mendocino Underdog oil I licked from my fingers, and the buzz today was in addition to some DDA flower I couldn’t stay away from. It’s been a nice blend of euphoric levels. I enjoy the cocktail of multiple pathways.
Both fermentation attempts are a win in my book.

As someone with a background in microbiology I have been following this thread with interest. Fermentation has been used as a preservation method for millennia. In hot humid climates organic matter rapidly becomes moldy so your premium buds won’t store for very long after harvest. Fermented vegetables can be stored almost indefinitely because of the organic acids produced by naturally occurring Lactobaccilus sp. (and others) inhibit the growth of fungus. So far so good.
The multiple reports of an almost chemical stone from eating this material got me thinking. The users are mostly lifelong Cannabis users who would not mistake a thc/cbd buzz from something else.
Even though ergot (wheat smut) is a fungal disease, could it thrive in the acidic environment of the cobs and be producing LSD? What about other hallucinogenic fungi we don’t even know about. That is what is so interesting about traditional methods of doing anything. Carry on.

Wrong thread again? At least I see how it happened this time.
As you were, nothing to see here.

Ok.... now you really got me excited. Lol! We could be creating a new hallucinogen from our favorite euphoric indulgence? Yeah... this is why we’re here.
Ahhh.... you’re a fun one to have around.

Let’s not forget that another of our fungal friends is psilocybin, commonly known as magic mushrooms. I really must look into pH growth ranges of ergot and psilocybin

When I was younger and braver I did lots of acid and mushrooms and the cob buzz is quite different from either. I’d be quite surprised if there was anything similar going on.
I'll say! Anticipation for these babies is raising the ante on fun so far. Trying them is going to be so fun. I get all whipped up thinking about it. Yes I love getting high but also using an old method like this seems almost important to me. Homage to the cannabis lovers of the past.
