Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

I always thought it was a fiver for a J a tenner for a dime...
@SweetSue I totally agree with your statements about this community! & For you & @tangwena thank you both for your help! I have my cob aging in a large Mason jar now instead of a vac-pack. I want it to age to be more sedative-esq so we'll let it ride in its current dryer side of the spectrum for a while. I couldn't help myself & had to sample. It was still a "well....... Not sleeping for a while now..." Kinda high but very different from the raw stuff. This was an "I'm awake but my limbs are super heavy & I just don't wanna move right now. BTW I think the bed is also swallowing me." Kinda high. The taste was nice & sweet!

Thank you all for spreading the word on this process!
Ha ha try chewing 0.5g and that bed will swallow you whole brother it will feel so sweet you wont want to come back ha ha.
 
Oh, believe me, my trust
I’m considering doing this once the kids are on their own and we have some extra financial freedom. Lol but the wife convinced me not to, so now our retirement plans are a very large slice of land in our dream location.. which I’ll. E building the home most likely unless we find a lot with a nice home already.. but I’m still buying the motor home...shhh, she doesn’t know it yet:) haha I want the best of both worlds. The only thing that freaks me out about the motor home would be traveling to different states with a lot of buds on me... me no trust 5-0. Lol
oh, believe me, my trust level is very very low also! I'm single these days, for the last 6 years actually, with very little need for specific person human interaction, so going on the road, while appearing to me to maybe looking a little lonely, may be the perfect prescription for me to meet new people.

I go out to my favorite brewery a couple times a week and see my best friend whose actually my chiropractor too, at least twice a week, and we're going be starting some pickleball regularly also to meet some new people. I've got my daughter in school in Rhode island and my son in San Fran. My oldest son is in south Korea so I won't be seeing him until his brother's graduation in June.

I figure there will be lots of places to visit in two years!

Hoping these little girls will tide me over well for awhile... check out my journal in sig below.
 
Dialing in the correct dose is like feathering the throttle through the corner on a dirt track. Little to much your spinning, right amount you rocket down a long straight away.
 
I ran out of cobs awhile ago but am really wanting to get some tested at the lab and wanting to share those results with the group. Cleaning house today and asked The Hubby if he had a secret stash anywhere. HE DOES AND HE SHARED IT WITH ME! Yes, I am screaming with elation right now (partly because I have cob to enjoy and partly because I have cob to test). Here are a few pictures. The first is some re-hydrated Super Jack trim that I cobbed on 11-03-2018 and the second is some GG that I cobbed on 11-15-2018. I'm making a run to the lab tomorrow so will submit samples and report back to you all. In the meantime, I have cob to enjoy. :passitleft:Yippy Skippy.

SimpleManZ320, I think that soon you may not have to worry about traveling the country with some buds on you. The House and Senate have both readied the MORE Act for floor votes. Can you say "Federal Legalization" anyone? I do think we are on the horizon of federal legalization. I could be wrong, it happens a lot, but with 67% of the country and 62% of Congress on board now, it could be the time. So, once Congress gets back to conducting business, this could pass and you could travel freely across America with your buds. The MORE Act modifies the tobacco regulations to treat Cannabis like a tobacco product; don't advertise to minors, don't sell to minors, include appropriate warnings, add a 5% tax on consumer sales, completely de-scheduled and NOT listed as a drug leaving distribution mechanisms up the individual states. Also allows complete expungement of previous Cannabis related-convictions so long as the conviction does not include a transfer to a minor so everyone can put the past behind them. Okay, I gotta go back to cleaning the house and am excited to find more hidden cobs in the cupboards. :)
 
Finding long lost cobs is super cool been there done that ha ha. I loose them all the time though.
These were just made from trim so I don't have high hopes (haha). But I did smoke a bit of the Super Jack trim cob and it's not bad... very smooth like smoking air... no flavor... no smell... and it did relax my creaking joints and sore muscles and it made my cheeks very big which made me laugh which made my cheeks bigger which made me laugh harder and it was all downhill from there. I had a 15 minutes laughing spell and then the spell wore off. I'm going for a few more puffs now. So, while not strong... not a waste either. Amazing that cobbing can take sugar leaf trim and turn it in to something Quite Enjoyable.
 
I have found .2g to be more then needed .1 will allow me to function fine.

Interesting. Do you think it may be in part because the cobs appear to be getting more and more potent the longer they cure? I’ve been thinking about reducing my own 0.2 gr dose. You have me considering it a bit more seriously.

Same here its crazy how little you need when your tuned in as it were ha ha.
I dont even measure it any more mainly because I dropped my scale while high ha ha.
Now I like the surprise

I grind some up and store it in a small container in my drawer. Every morning I stick a finger in and dig some out to chew. Most days I don’t bother to weigh it either, and some days it’s two dips into the grindings. Lol! I do like the feeling of not being sure my feet are really touching the ground. :battingeyelashes:

Isn’t it amazing how smooth the smoke is? :cheesygrinsmiley: Now you have a little taste, and you’ll be somewhat prepared for a full-on cob. Have you chewed any yet?
 
Hi Sue and Just Meds a friend of mine who doesn't smoke due to being tested for his job recently took leave for a break over Christmas.
He had a few concerts to see we swapped some buds for cob pieces and I cut a flat canary bud into oblong doses.
The bud was flat like stamps Mulanje buds.
He took 3 doses the first night and reported it was very very shitfaced stoned ha ha.

The next concert he had some regular cobbed Pan x Hond which I find stronger in the sense that I need half as much to be comfortable.
Anyway I told him to take half as much as the time before ha ha. He reported it was very strong and he had had too much again but loved it.

What I am getting at is the high works strongly on non smokers much more so than smokers.
He is not a light weight and has had plenty of strong drugs just been clean lately because of his job.
This ties in with my theory of smokers having a high tolerance to overcome.
I have told him to next time take a piece so small he doesn't think it will effect him and give it 2 hours before judgment.

I also have noted constant use enables you to get off on smaller doses which seems counter intuitive as you would think you would build up a tolerance like smoking.
I do build one eventually but simply changing cobs re sets it ha ha.
Its good to see your still getting a kick sister, my current grow promises to be my best cobs yet I am getting the plants dialed in to the cure not just the grow.
 
It physically hurts to know I’m not in a position to grow, and therefore not able to make cobs. *sigh* All things in their right time.

It does seem counterintuitive that a constant dosing would be more effective than sporadic dosing Tangwena, but I believe it’s because of the nature of the ECS. When you come in with a big dump of cannabinoids it can be too much for the system to accommodate. Send in a steady flow and it has an easier time creating a homeostatic tone that has the level of euphoria you’re comfortable with.

It’s the same with staying hydrated: “Be a river, not a flood.”

Hi SweetSue, I really like the smooth smoke. It is so discreet. Originally I only had indica leaning strains to work with, the GG, and chewing the GG just puts me to sleep whereas smoking it leaves me relaxed and happy but not sedated. I've not chewed the Super Jack trim cob but want to, maybe I can this weekend. The kids will be gone and the house will be empty so I can experiment a bit. I am so glad I found you all last year. The cobbing was a timely distraction and has become a fun hobby. :hugs:
 
Hi Everyone!

I have been lurking for months reading and enjoying everyone's cobbing success. I have the materials to build 2 cobatrons. I see the back of JustMed's cobatron wiring on the power supply and his 2 white extension cords connecting to the wall.

In the back of the power supply, a white ext cord #1 is connected to the power supply. The black seedmat cord and thermostat is connected to the sensor cord, and white ext cord #2 is connected to the heat connection. What is happening with the connections inside the cobatron and what goes to what?

Not the greatest with electricity and don't want to burn the house down. Tips anyone?
 
I have one small .6 piece left from 60 grams of dried cob. Saving it lol. What a ride that batch was. No more giving it out like candy. That stuff is gold.

Edit:
I have some Mulanje x Swaziland mid flower that will primarily be used for cobs.
 
Thanks, JustMeds, take your time; cobbing is certainly an exercise in learning patience, of which I have none.

I am hopeful that I can get the landrace strains on a perpetual harvest like the rest of my grow and I'll be golden.

I am so looking forward to 2020 and to experience a 'cobbing state of mind'.....

Yeah no rush on those. The pollination took the steam out of them. I had to make some seeds to keep the genetics around. Only one branch per plant but that was enough
