Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

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.
 
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

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.

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!!!

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,

near as i reckon

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.

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?
