Please share the results, I'm intriguedI'll be harvesting in 2-4 weeks. I asked about Malawi Cob Curing in one of the Skunk Pharm articles and they expressed the same concern as me regarding harmful pathogens. It seems the best temperature range for cob curing is between 145 and 160 degrees F. This raises the temperature high enough to avoid harmful bacterial and mold growth but is low enough to preserve most terpenes. I'm going to try it.
I actually like to dry mine in the jerky maker on low to make concentrates, no need to cure and they are much much tastier that way.Cob curing will ruin your bud and turn it into unpleasant, unsmokable garbage. No one does it anymore because it is literally one of the worst possible ways to to dry and cure. It was done that way in the past out of sheer ignorance, there is absolutely no logical reason to dry and cure like that.
Not sure where you read up on terpenes but temps that high will totally destroy much of your terpene profile along with any pleasant smell and flavor plus as degrade all you cannabanoids.
Same goes with freezing temperatures, dry ice, etc, etc. No need to reinvent the wheel, all good growers cure and dry in a similar manner because that is what actually works.
Listen to blaze...
.I am... and about 1000 others too. :)
So whats wrong with the normal 7-12 days of haning plants or even on drying racks..I know neither method may be the best for my needs but we all know the internet has millions of options for just about everything. In the end, all we can do is find our way in the dark... or the blinding light.
FWIW, I'm convinced to add the glass jar/burp method too. I was just trying to minimize the variables. :)
