Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

nickeluring said:
My first batch of cobs, the ugly Critical ones, are done fermenting. The smell is quite similar to before as I recall, but now I'm starting to enjoy the smell. Every time I've opened my vacuum bags to wipe off my cobs I've slowly started to appreciate it. Right now, as the cobs lie on a plate without a vacuum bag, the smell is spreading throughout the flat - just beautiful.

Am I supposed to let them air dry now for some time? 4-5 days, or less perhaps? And then vacuum and put away in room temperature for some months, right?

Thanks buddy. These cobs are the best smoke I've had so far. The buds from the same plant are amazing, but the cobs...and they haven't even been aged yet.
 
Hahaha, thank you, AngryBird.
I actually think I didn't do it that well. I think perhaps they were a bit fast in the process somehow. I also think my cobs are more moist than most others' seem to be. My cobs were sweating all throughout the fermentation process, both the first batch and the second batch. So I'm not sure my cobs are proper or not. But the first batch is really good, so I'm happy. And it still needs to be aged. We'll see about the second batch, the Gorilla plant was not as good as the Critical...
 
Journal is a good idea, if sampling the cob's for taste while making mental notes, be warned them notes are not where you put them the next day.

Is a fresh green husk to much moisture? I see everyone using dried husk...

I’ve never tried it but I would use a green husk without fear. I use the dried husks only because they’re cheap and easy as they come pre-cut and sized to make tamales with. I soak them in water first so I doubt the extra moisture in green husks would matter. Although they might add some flavor or something.

Well I tried towards the start of this thread and screwed it up. The fresh husk gave it an incredible sweet smell. From there, "I" screwed up and got mold. I haven't tried again yet... I like the thought of being able to infuse other plants for a superior end result. I've got some Super Silver Haze due in a month.
Anyone tried to add different products to influence flavoring? I think I see a lot of people aren't even using a husk.
:smokin2:
 
I believe using anything green for the cob husks, might make the whatever green used part of the fermentation. Who knows what that could do to the cob...
 
Hiya BobbyZ,

I grew a couple SSHaze auto's this summer, outdoors. Got about 1.5 z's plus 3 cobs. They are just cured 3 months. I tried a couple snips and they're great. Would be best to chew this during the summer when I can take advantage of the energy it gives you. I really liked the experience. I'm going to grow some more next year for sure.

Oh, yes I did use corn husk casing. Seemed fine. I dried for 2 days, then cobbed them moist. Did get some "bleeding" on the husk, to dried them a little, then recured. Easy peasy!

What could we add to the bag...:hmmmm:
Orange, lemon, lime peel
Cinnamon stick
Ginger Root
Flavoring drops? Maybe blueberry...
Coffee beans
Cloves
Basil
Mint
Lavender
Vanilla Bean
Peppers
Worcestershire :laugh:
 
Idk man... they already come out so nice as is. Very sweet, more flavorful, and crazy smooth... I don’t see the need to add such things.
But if I were to, for some reason, decide to add more flavor, I’d probably go with coffee beans, vanilla beans, or lemon peel. Those all seem like they would complement the cannabis flavors. But, I love them natural for now! Good thinking though!
