zairek Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Dope Friends Anyone tried curing there buds this way? Took 30g of a sticky Sativa strain I grew from Lesotho Heights bagseed. Very sweet perfumy aroma. Some say this technique increases potency and trippiness. Let's see. After the wrapping the cobs I vacuum sealed them and placed on my Hid lamp ~43C Edited June 5, 2020 by zairek 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsandals Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Lovely, Tangwena is a friend of mine. I'm busy growing his Malawi x Swazi. He would be proud to see some new cobs being made in Africa because of his technique he popularized. Its actually changed quite a bit since he has been developing it and he no longer uses corn cob and its done inside vacuum sealed bags now. He used to call this 'canary bud' because it would give him an indication of how the bud is doing inside the corn husks that he prepared at the same time, but then realized that the canary bud was just as good with less fuss involved.

oldsandals Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 In my experience it makes the buds decarboxylated some what because you can chew on some matured cob and it will give an effect, so there must be decarbed cannabinoids in there. Smoking cob is smoother than jar cured and I think because it does a better job at degrading chlorophyll. The taste of jar cured is more preserved than cob, however the high is similar when smoked. The differences come when eaten or chewed plain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicious biltong vibe- Tangwena legendary, seems like a dinkum fellow though. Eating that stuff will bring a whole new meaning to edibles old bro sandals Edited June 6, 2020 by zairek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 After 3 days of almost anaerobic sweating and fermenting, I open the bag and get the dank smell of fermenting sugar cane and gherkins or capres. Overpowering yet sweet in nature. Left cobs to surface dry before revac-sealing. Will leave to cure vacsealed inside cob for 1 more week before first sample and final vacuum seal for at least a month. More schlep compared to air / jar cure, however, if this method results in a viable edible product, then I'm sold, and may reduce my ingestion by smoking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batista Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Only thing holding me back is my lack of a vacuum sealer.Im keen to see your results:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Vacuum sealer is critical for eliminating O2 exposure, I'm new to this but I assume the process is similar to avoiding turning wine into vinegar. Vac sealer also compresses the cob, compensating for the natural loosening of the cob due to compaction of the bud. Hence the need to tighten windings after 3 days of vacuum compressed cob bud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Below my test of Hybrid strains using @oldsandalsmethod without cob husks and the other some skunky sweet cheese strain. The test without the cob is @TotemicChocolope haze, a dank compaction of sticky stinky gooeyness 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Unwrapped, dried and revac sealed the cob sand husks. Intense smell of molasses, definitely more intense than the 3 day ferment. Busy air drying a gram. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zairek Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Lesotho Heights cob after 11 days of fermenting at around 40C. Opened the vac vag twice to air dry the cob. Now it's been dehusked, dried for 24h and revac sealed to be reopened in a few weeks or months. Smoked a gram or so mixed with some dry flower and definitely a smooth smoke, leading to deeper puffs and heavier effects. Definitely knocks and drops tolerance levels, had to, for a long time actually limit consumption. Waiting to see how things pan out during the cure 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
