Tangwena's Malawi-Style Cob Cure: Fermented Cannabis

Lol. Do you remove trichomes from your smoking material? While they will burn, doing so destroys them. They're vaporized (even in a joint) - that's what gets us high.

Hello TS...

The trichomes clearly//or opaquely/ are the focus of all of,our attention.
Shows time to pluck the flowers..
Slide it into a solvent....they slide right off. Yet the lad and trichomes stemette, remains on the leaf. Thankfully..
Ts I eat more than i smoke.
I smoke test any oil I plan to eat first. Just because.

Smoking weed is fantastic..the joint all,ends up as ash right?

Nope... sadly, a joint nicely decarb weed and smokes it at the same time. Weed behind the ember is not yet burnt. But hot all . So,it converts, next hit is yours..

Ok the last 14.42 % of the joint. The roach. Open it.
Wtf.. all the extra sticky shit. That don’t burn.
Well that shit and the shot inthe oil,,,it’s exactly/as in precisely what’s left in the roach resin.nasty...
Just saying the last goo/ the last extract/ if too deep/ not helpful. Yes it’s a filler.
Yes all the oil,makers know.
Now you do,too.

You have fireproof joints, lol? Too much fertilizer in your buds after harvest, perhaps? Does the cherry kind of "sparkle" before it goes out on you?
 
High and good afternoon.
I want to thank Tangwena Sweetsue and Lazyfish and others for this journal.

Our participation will live on for other to follow once the rest of the world catches up to what were doing!
Eleven days old and 40 plus pages long this journal should become a sticky.

With that being said, let's try to stay on topic.
I don't mind reading the rambling musings of the many talented growers here.

However....

You get the point.
Not trying to moderate (i just did) but I'm not alone in wanting this journal to remain fun and insightful.

Rant ova. Carry on.
:nomo:

I'm smoking 3 year old Golden Tiger...:roorrip:
im thinking.. the cob is basically allowing moisture to be pulled slowly from the day or 2 old fresh bud and to protect from dirt, etc..

a piece of brown paper bag, placed on the sushi mat the some are using, might work as well..

a paper towel tube(piece of one) stuffed with some bud, tied, placed in vacuum bag/jar may work too :smokin2:..toilet paper tube? nah...unless a new roll is sacrificed..:rofl:

Tangwena recommends construction quality brown paper to stand up to the stresses. He’s picking up different tones from cobs done in husks vs cobs done with other aids, and he much prefers the cobs with husks. They may contribute more than wrapping.

Once we know what we’re doing and feel comfortable about it I’ll work up a more concise overview of what we learned and we’ll see about getting it stickied. If the interest keeps growing it’ll be a necessity

Most of the pertinent info is in that first post. We’ll be fine tuning for years. Lol!

@Stage, I hear you. :hugs:

Ok now you have me very interested...

Lol! I knew someone would catch that before I edited it.

The canary bit I had earlier didn’t create any euphoria, but it contributed to another deeply satisfying meditation session, and I kept finding myself drifting off to a deep silence, unlike anything I’ve experienced before.

I don’t drift when I get high. I soar, but zoning out isn’t in my nature anymore. I live on sativas. Lol! So it was strange to find myself turning and being caught up in the movement and color of the traffic flying by below my window for minutes at a time.

Then I went to lunch like nothing happened. The day’s been pretty normally euphoric, based on my Carnival brownies and that GlueBerry joint Hash hound shared with me while he was here.
 
Good morning Tangwena. :hugs:

We do move fast. Lol!
 
Hi Sue after reading some of your posts about joint pain I have found one strain I have Zamaldelica, that clears all pain from my back and knee it makes me feel 16 again in every way.
But I cant take it 2 days in a row its to tiring.

The Golden Tiger while it has the best recreational high does not help my aches and pains which all return as I come down.
So there is def some pain reduction with certain strains cured this way.

Has your daughter tried chewing small doses of cob because they last all day it might be useful.
Also I have cobs that do not taste very nice chewed but the high makes it worth persevering with them.
I think the bad taste can be eliminated by curing them slightly differently its amazing what reducing time or increasing time at the sweating and curing stages can do hence the sniff testing as often as possible.

It is early morning here time to make todays selection I am going with the new Panama x Honduras its a fast paced extremely trippy high but as I am going to be re roofing my car port just the ticket.

I was talking to a friend yesterday when a group of school kids with their teacher walked past my house.
The teenage daughter of one of my other friends up here shouted "take me with you" to great laughter from the other kids.
I feel she is going to be trouble for her mother soon if she is not already ha ha.
There are some beautiful people up here

i have a lot of respect for you my friend based on what I have seen. But once you try your cobs you will find a great sense of fun and emotions that you lost a long time ago resurfacing its what we live for and its part and parcel of this fantastic experience you will soon unlock.

@tangwena I have read on the other site that you grow some nice sativa's. Have you ever grown Kwazulu? If so any info on it?
Click to expand...
No I haven't when I lived in Malawi we used to take great pleasure in getting South African tourists wasted because they were always babling on about Durban Poison, Swazi red ect
That was until we gave them some of what we used to call chapter 5 it was a very special cured Malawi the best of the best and not easily found even when you had good contacts.
It was a religious experience full of hallucinations and I never met anyone who could handle it first time.
So I didn't have much of a regard for anything grown south of the Limpopo river. BUT a good friend of mine who I knew was well experienced in ganja said he found some good DP and Swazi while hitch hiking around SA.
So I am sure there used to be some good gear grown there but I never saw any myself.
Compared to the 3rd world countries I lived in South Africa was more like Europe big cities and big roads, except in the rural areas.
Where we lived was wild Africa in Zambia we lived on a small holding that backed onto the railway line to the Congo.
Every day would see lines of people walking along the line to market in Ndola with produce from the Congo. No customs nothing it was amazingly beautiful thick jungle on each side of the tracks.
My father used to drive over the border to Brazaville in the Congo to buy drums of petrol because it was in short supply in Zambia at that time.
 
Hey Tangwena. Loving your presence here! :passitleft:

We've been talking mostly sativas - and believe me that's exactly where my heart lies. All these Ace strains you mention....

But what about cobbing indicas? What is that like? I don't normally smoke indica except really rarely. But I have some growing right now so I think I'll cob some (Pineapple Chunk, and maybe some Y Griega) in the next little while. Not sure what I'll do with them when they're ready- other than find victims aka friends to experiment on.:eek:

One other thing. You said rehydrated bud won't work - but I'm hoping you're wrong ;) I have some well cured Malawi, Panama, and some Honduras in the jars that I'd like to try.
If it's wild yeasts we are working with here- those really aren't so easy to kill or get rid of- and I think the process could still work under the right conditions. Anyway I'd like to try it - cause it's going to be a few months till the next fresh sativas start getting plucked.
 
Weaselcracker, if you can get them stable at around 75% I’m confident they’ll work. We have too much in jars not to try.

@Graytail , tell me you’re not tempted by now, with that vault of canna wonder you have. :battingeyelashes:
 
Ah, but the vault is gone, kaput, incinerated, finis. It took awhile, but we managed it. :bongrip: You've decided that old bud can be cobbed?
