Yours was rehydraded right? I wonder if using freshly cut vs already dried changes the chemical processes. To me it seems that once those sugars and stuff dry out they will never be the same. Mine didn’t taste at all like it smelled, but I just took a tiny tester (oxygen blast, OB we used to call them). I will for sure be rolling a doob or three after it cures more, that’s kind of what I do.
Testing the effectiveness of a new chemovar can be a challenge. Hehehe
I didn't look under the scope, but after rolling it up and vacuum sealing it in the bag all the trichomes were completely smooshed.
It was rehydrated. I sprayed the dry buds with equal weight of water. I think I should have done the initial sweat for a longer period. I did 30 hours and was too busy to go longer. I still have a nice stash and may try another one soon.
I wonder what an amount that a person would use if they were going to roll and smoke a joint (a gram, more or less) would do?
Problem is, one cannot decrease a high at will. And being unable to completely control one's extremities - and head, bobbling on their neck - isn't all that enjoyable (neither is being nauseous almost, but not quite, to the point of vomiting for an extended period of time).
If - as I assume you are
"fractional" portions that make up a "big dose" and then... only consume one of them, lol. Or at least consume them incrementally instead of all at once, always remembering the delay of onset (and/or peak) with eating (vs. smoking). It would really suck to think, "I need to double my dose in order to feel what I am seeking" - only to belatedly learn that all you really needed was to wait a little longer for what you had already consumed to fully latch on.
Scrogdawg. I knew we'd tempt you. 
I like putting the buds in an open container and then placing that in a humid tote (sealable container) with the lid on. In the bottom of the tote can be a damp towel, fruit, bowl of water, or any number of moist optionsFresh bud works great.
The point being to have a nice even ambient moisture level to rehumidify the bud with. The source of moisture isn't touching the buds directly.
In reality it's usually so humid where I am - I can just skip the tote.
I just smoked a very tiny bong load and it got me much higher then that small of a bong should have. I was surprised it even burned considering how wet it was when it went into the cob.
It's a bummer that cobbing will never get the attention by science that it needs for us to fully understand how to get the best out of it.
How happy does it make me to hear you're researching bacteria in an attempt to explain the phenomenon.
Hello,
My eye has been on things like this article:
Fermented sausages are cured sausages
An interesting read and a bit inspirational with cobs in mind.
Ok so the 24 hour sweat is done. No moisture in the bag or on the cobs. It gave off a warm citrus aroma that filled the kitchen though. It opens the sinuses for sure. It didn't need drying so I sealed them back up to ferment. I hope I didn't screw this up.

This is the most delicate result regarding terpenes, aromas...
