Heh...We've brought corn husks home from Mexico in past years to make Tamale's... Perhaps again his year, for another recipe!?...Good luck with this venture Sue!...you've piqued a lot of interest thus far...:thumb::high-five:...cheerz... h00k...:rollit:

Oh, you won't be able to resist h00k, and you know it. Lol! Before we're done we'll have everyone trying it. Tangwena's been tripping like this for decades! I have a lot of catching up to do. Haha!

Know what my theory is on the hallucinations? I think it might be stimulating DMT expression. It's a wild idea that won't leave my frontal lobe.
 
I sincerely hope I'm right. :battingeyelashes:
 
Do you mean, stimulating the natural presence of DMT in the human brain?...from what I've read, jury's still out on that...but...I'm a layman...so, who knows...cheerz... h00k...:rollit:
 
I haven't read much yet myself, but reading some of their descriptions made me start to wonder.


I made a decision that my next harvest'll be dried low and slo for about a week and then I'll make cobbs. I'm thinking I'll retain more terpenes that way.
 
Has anything on the other thread been mentioned about the (slight) risk of botulism with this method? Typically the risk with anaerobic fermentation is growth of C.botulinum. Risk is low, but it is there.

That said, I’m intrigued. I wonder what it would do to CBD?

And what about extracts, oils, and tinctures from the final product?

I haven’t read through all 225 + pages BigBear, but some have and this alarm wasn’t raised, so I’d say it’s a minimal risk issue. That’s just me and my fearless nature coupled with my respect for my immune system.

I’m already there with you on the medicinal possibilities. We won’t know until we get some tested, see what we’re dealing with and start exploring.

Oooo..... tell me that gives someone else chills. Lol!
 
hey sue how are you lazy fish put me on this thread this is cool always looking for a way for more depth and potency rite now i don't have fresh buds but i will have some in a couple mos. i would like to try this method with some of that harvest so ill hang around and see whats up and probably learn something thanks for starting this thread sue!:)

WooHoo!!! OMG...... this is the most fun I've had in a long time. Lol!

Soak the corn husks in hot water to get them soft and pliable. It takes about 15 minutes, and then you drain and dry carefully with paper towels to get all the excess water out of the grooves.

Look at what's left guys! At 80% humidity going in this will extend the produce.

Make the pile even and then very carefully roll it tight. The husks are somewhat fragile when wet. Work with caution. I rolled the cob into a second husk for stability.

I'm off to lunch with the seniors. I'll be back later to make more. I want at least two today with canary cobs. I'll be trimming what's still hanging into bags for a low and slo finish. I can make more cobs if I want as the moisture content of the buds falls to play with variabilities.

Are we having fun ye to? Hehehe! :slide:

nivek...... WooHoo!!!!! I'm so glad you're following along. This is right up your artistic alley. :battingeyelashes:

Canyon, you won't get the same compression, and the cobs add an element to the cure that effects taste and euphoria.

I may have missed it but what is a canary cob and it's purpose?
Click to expand...

It's a smaller bunch of buds without the husk. It allows you to watch the color change so you can control the level of fermentation.

I intended to do the cob/tamale thing, I just don't have a food saver vacuum.

We’re gonna find out this is an indispensable piece of equipment Canyon. Look for a sale and get one. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
Considering there were no vacu sealers in old Africa, might be interesting to try a traditional method of the process???...cheerz... h00k...:rollit:...

This is a more stable way from all that is stated in the IC thread.
