Extraction The^Dudes Cobbing Experiments

[Rick Dirte']

I put .4 grams on the scale this morning 11 am and chewed for 10 mins. Swallowed it all. Fairly unpleasant but not awful. I’ll post later this evening on the high.

A little over a hour and the buzz is on.
Feels like it will be quite strong. More at 11.

Well fellas I woke up feeling bad and didn't try the Cosmic Apprentice maybe tomorrow.
Dude I found out about the cobbing process from one of Hecno's post. That crazy son of a gun posted
he had eaten 2 or 3 grams and got higher than he had ever been. This of course piqued my interest.
I initially read Sweet Sue's thread and then Tangwena's. I have insomnia and make coconut oil caps for sleep
and to get high. 5 or 6 caps to a gram and I do a clean ethanol extraction in the freezer.
They're pretty strong and I take 1 everyday, have for the last decade. Not sure how eating it will
affect me. I'm willing to experment.

I built an incubator and bought a food dehydrator and a vac sealer.
I hang dried each plant whole 1 day then to paper sacks for 2 more. Cobbed without the corn husk.
I sweated all of mine 24 hours at 107F. Fermented all at a range of 78f to 86f for 5 days.
Cured each cob for 6 weeks. Weekly documenting weight at opening and after drying usually 2 or 3 hrs.
Then on to ageing.

This is a pic of a couple of indica cobs at about 6 months old and the buds they were made from.
I'll try to get a pic of some 1 year + aged cob when I have good light.
Shows more salt blooms?

CDLC

Definitely has a fermented scent but also a mellow tobacco like scent, plus faint weed terps.
Super smooth smoke. The taste is almost tobacco like again with faint weed terps.
My friends and family love the smoke.

In hind sight I will limit the sweat time to 4 to 8 hrs and for sure ferment less time. I want more terps.
I'll have to read up about that.

nice! That’s the exact same progression I followed lol, @hecno ’s cobbing, then Sweet Sue, and finally Tangwena.
I believe mine was sweated higher, I may have mentioned it earlier, I think it was in the 140’s. EDIT: looks like one was done around 130 and the other was closer to 115F.
I’d be very interested to hear what a milder ferment does. To me that sounds like basically a quicker method for curing, keep and enhance the terps while reducing left over starches and plant material.

.4g sounds like a great starting place. Keep us posted!

Towards the end of Tangwena's thread he talks about shorter sweat and ferment times.
I'll revisit his thread and read some more. Want to try just curing some buds whole.
My current run will be ready end of March/early April.

This morning I had fermented cod liver caps before breakfast, ate the cobbed Cos App (100% organic)
then drank a glass of home made kefir and yogurt with lunch. The weed ought to be a good prebiotic.
Got them microbes workin for me.

How’s the buzz going?

It is a strong high. Sort of dissociative. Occasionally I'll take two coconut oil caps and it reminds me of that.
Maybe a little stronger. I'm pretty damn high, wouldn't want to be in public but not curled up in a ball in bed. Lol
I have a CDLC cob that is over a year old and I think tomorrow evening at 7pm I'll chew .5 grams and skip my coco cap.
Would be awesome to eliminate the extraction process with the cost of ethanol.
My mom uses my extract to make pain rubs but I could just infuse some grape seed oil for that.

I've chewed the cob 4 times this week. CDLC twice, Cosmic Apprentice and Bubblegum Queen.
First time with the Cos App .4 grams. .6 or .7 last 3 times.
Strong medicine, I like it. Personally I can't tell that much difference between the sativas and the CDLC.

I've got a nice Anvil going that I'll cob some ozs from and see how that works for sleep meds.

With the next harvest, I'll be taking on my attempt at cobbing.

Nice! Do you smoke after chewing as well, or just enjoy the chew?

 

[Rick Dirte']

Yeah keep smoking.Lol
Chewed .7 grams Dutch Passion Auto Glueberry OG today. Damn good.
