Thank you very much for such a wonderful explanation. I do understand more now, but since we are all growing it, rather than buying it, and since we must start the process within just a couple days of cutting it down, please tell me what weed would any of us grow that was not good weed? I guess I still don't understand... I think it might be how you define good weed and um not so good weed. Or could it be that just some strains are good for this process and others are not so good because that weed doesn't have the right terps? Or it could be something else, like maybe this white widow was grown in a really good environment and will work or if it was poorly grown it would be bad weed even though it started out good?
I am not being an asshat here...or at least I don't mean to be...... I really would like to understand, I do plan on trying this in about 2 weeks but if it is a particular strain then I might have to wait and try to grow that strain.
Like dynamo said everyones idea of whats good is different so if you think your weed is good then try this method with half of it and compare the two cures.
I personally like weed that is similar to the way you feel when acid starts to take hold of your mind you know before the full on tripping starts.
That time when things start to get a little loose.
I like to escape from the everyday reality of being straight. As long as I'm not me for the day its good weed.
Some people like to just be medicated like valium you know couch locked, that sort of weed doesn't seem to get much in the way of a changed high from this cure.
But trippy other worldly sativas def get a twist to the high in a way I like, spaced out in another world type of effect.
The resin on the buds changes color to reds, blacks, orange and golden colors so its hard not to think the effects change a little as well compared to the usual clear, opaque and gold colors that you get in jar curing.
You look at some well cured jar buds even after a year the change in the resin is minimal as this cure seeks to preserve them in that state.
The idea with this cob cure is to radically change/age the resin along with the plant material you should see no green in a good cure.
Hence the smoke is smoother but at the cost of loosing some flavor the jar cured has more flavor smoked usually.
It just depends on what you smoke weed for flavor or effect with me the flavor is less important than the effect.
Chewing an aged cob is a good way to stay high all day especially if like me you have given up smoking, its a pure high no chemicals used just 100% plant material.
They have been curing this way for hundreds of years in central Africa its how pot should be cured in my opinion.
I recommend trying it , if just for the experience.
"Good enough" is subjective, one mans good is anothers bad. Depends on so many factors, everyone chemistry is a little different. some like sativas some like indicas. could you possibly focusing in on the negative possible outcome? Why be like Eore (it will never work) maybe it will be just the opposite. So since you are going to try for sure, why stress over it? I also am not trying to be an asshat.
