santero 9,177 Report post Posted February 4, 2017 inspired by this thread: https://www.icmag.co...ad.php?t=309172 after a failed attempt, my first successfull cob enjoy. after 16 weeks of 11/13 some of the semi-dried bud gets cobbed sealed but NO vaccum i left it on my router for a few weeks to sweat in peace after one month the cob looks like this detail of the result now i just let it dry in roomtemps and seal it (this time in vacuum) for another few months as long as i like, really ... it gets only better from here uncobbed bud: dry, woody-spicy, hazey, typical satty bud smell and taste we are used from landrace buds (not very special, imvho) cobbed bud: vanilla, chocolate, smashed rotten fruits and a spicy taste and smell (cobbing is very nice for smoke that tastes bland by itself, makes better smoke) smoked effect is not very different, but i bet it makes a difference form plant to plant. the cobbing process decarbs the bud so it can be eaten as well with very nice effect. some say it is psychedelic, but those have never tripped on real entheogens. it sure makes a warm feeling in my chest and big smile on my face, tho hope you liked this tiny sum-up of my cobbing adventure ... the linked thread provides all the info you need to make it yourself. enjoy your smokes, everybody SAN 56 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StankyDank30 2,691 Report post Posted February 4, 2017 pretty cool Santaro bro! By semi dryed, about what % RH are you talking if tested? And is this a sativa only kind of project? or can indica growers do it the same? Edit: ahh i see, they are using acuall cobs and then bury it... what are you using san to wrap it? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santero 9,177 Report post Posted February 5, 2017 heya stonky "semi-dry" means not all dried up, but also not fresh ... a few days drying is enough at my place. i used baking-paper and have noy tried it with any indicas yet. the rather bland tasting satties benefit from this a bit more, imo. opinions differ, tho ... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snookster 579 Report post Posted February 5, 2017 Interesting thread Santero....Thanks for all the hard work you put into that Sat. Looks like a sausage..heh 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santero 9,177 Report post Posted February 5, 2017 @snookster tap until week six, then some "SANnutes" and then back to water only until chop she looks mistreated, lol. it was a mere 2-liter-pot -about half a gallon- for the complete cycle from seed to chop ... started 25cm and ended 165cm, haha. (without including the height of the pot). yes, brother, the cob indeed looks like a wurst now, haha @elro, mate i was inspired by this thread here: https://www.icmag.co...ad.php?t=309172 it made me wonder about the effects and at another place they were all quite hysteric about this, so i just went for it and tried it with half the angola (... while i left the other half dry and cure out in a glass as usual to be able to compare) now i understand how the choco-taste came into thai- sticks, as the chocolate thai is mostly just spicy smoke. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shoeless 4,237 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 Nice cob, San. I did the same with zamaldelica and the smoke changes over time. Wait a couple/few months and you should see a big difference. I certainly did. And the smoke is definitely smoother. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bubbla 103 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 That's awesome San, now i understand where thai-stick comes from... Hi just.blaze. Thai stick & Malawi Cob are different. Malawi Cob was originally wrapped in corn leaves to cure (some say it was buried) but Thai Stick is simply buds wound around a stem or sliver of bamboo traditionally not a long matchstick then tied together in a slab of Thai sticks. The curing would happen as they travelled for months by sea, it would sweat & tacked on that dark chocolate colour & unmistakeable taste & high. Peace B. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hempyfan 4,095 Report post Posted February 9, 2017 I never saw that before San. /Bravo! I have been told of some wonderful stories about buried pot in Africa. I wonder if that does some similar process but I never tried anything like that. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

santero 9,177 Report post Posted February 9, 2017 bubbla, what happens with the bud is the same with both *wink* = fermentation through sweating. gardenartus, yep supposed to "make it better". but it made it just different, imo. read the thread i linked up. many do that now and are happy with their results. hempy, burying is traditional cob-curing ... "mine" is the home-made silly SANversion 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justcozz 6,665 Report post Posted January 21, 2018 I read the thread too and will try it also with an indica strain. Till christmas is a great time window Hate to dig up an old thread, but I gotta know.... Did you try it, if so, tell us what you think. @Santero, great info, thanks 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiNdLesS 2,692 Report post Posted January 21, 2018 hey buddy! yeah I tried it with the emdog #4 from Silas. I didn't let it go till Christmas but around two months, mine didn't get brown, I think it was already too dry but it kind of 'melted' together. the effect and taste was great, but not very different from ordinary cured buds. it was a little bit sweeter now that I saw this thread again I think I'm gonna try it ones more!

Mr Goodfellow 12,342 Report post Posted January 21, 2018 Make sure you leave a little oxygen in the bag if you vacuum seal it. That way you can get that condensation. I want to try it. peace mrG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
