Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

[Ennui]

Had a battle with a newer member that weed ONLY decards at over 230deg

That's total hog wash, this is one proof to dispel that myth and 36hr oil in 170deg is another

To much "they did research, it's the only way" crap

People like us, real life not BS, have proven many many things about or Plant that the EXPERTS never knew about

Fun Fun Fun

What temp does decarboxylation occur? I thought around 130? I know I read it once, but it escapes me ATM.

 

[Ennui]

Not sure what ya mean??? Lol

Squaring away loose tent pegs.

Decarbed has always been assumed at 230f but it's being proven it can happen at lower temps, longer time, as well as the cob processes

Hmmm, wonder where I'm getting the 130 from. Was going to say I read it before this lumping, and it'd be true, but then I remember it had to be shortly after the Humpty Dumpty so...

Sorry. Before I stopped working my motto was "Get the job done and have some fun" now it can be " Have some fun and get the job done" The other way around. I'm not stoned now so I'm not thinking right.

Oh yea, that’s gonna be fun! Good luck and happy day to you!

Decarboxylation is a natural chemical process where CO2 leaves a molecule. It can happen at lower temperatures such as room temperature but is is slower. It is the same as with many chemical reactions, more heat = faster reaction.

Exactly!!!

Ahhh.... you’re a fun one to have around.

I'm a barrel of knuckleheads, alright. Maybe a barrel and a half.

near as i reckon,, natural decarboxylation , or decarbing,, is why one cures weed for three months to achieve optimum potency,, that is the presumed natural decarb time,

No, THC needs heat to be converted to DTHC. Curing is the last step of drying, getting the moisture to the correct level slowly so that different processes that occur a different stages have time to do it instead of getting it sucked out more quickly, I reckon? Cobbing, as discussed here is not curing.

my brain refuses to input that information,, i keep getting error messages,,dunno why

Hi Lazyfish glad to meet you!

Hi stoneotter! Nice to meet you as well.

Ok.....

@SweetSue, your cobs are BEAUTIFUL!!!! I'm still working on my method. I think I rushed my first one when it was still too wet (didn't hang long enough?). It got quite soft and mushy after its 24 hour initial visit to the food dehydrator.

I've got to amend this. Slow decarb can be looked at as being a lot like the curing process in that you're allowing things to happen when they're ready. With curing, it's moisture. With decarb, boiling points. I wonder if a 'flash' decarb is allowing elements to be present at the same time that are creating unwanted bonds, so to speak. Slow decarb might let an ingredient that would make the cake be better off if omitted from the recipe boil off before the bonding/splitting temps were reached. Make any sense?

I'll say this about my cob, It's five or six weeks old, broke off a plug yesterday morning went outside and visited with my brother and hit my bong, sweet smooth smoke with NO Smell..... my brother couldn't smell a thing..... this I like very much........ all.
