It was the difficulty posting, liking and even changing pages that got to me and slowly i just didn't bother. It's good to be back. I hope to show a few cobs at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Yeah it could get pretty frustrating, starting to feel like a distant memory already 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highgrower Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 @Hombre del Montewelcome back you timed it well as the site was only just upgraded. I didnt managed to get much cobbing done on my last lot due to a mountain gold going hermie and having very seeded bud in parts. I have some very mature cobs atm some from the start of this thread which i too need to take a tolerance break to fully enjoy - i bought myself a ball vape for xmas and wow this thing fcks me up in a most nice way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hombre del Monte Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 @highgrower, thanks for the welcome back brother. Seeded weed, according to brother Tangwena, is the way to go for making the very best cobs! He actually let's his plants get seeded on purpose. Personally I've never tried it and don't particularity intend too, unless by accident. I've been a bit lapse for the last few months; My daughter came out for holiday and got me back to smoking spliffs again, so my munching has gone from 100mg to more like a gram. Still gets me wasted though But tomorrow I intend to stop smoking again and very soon I'll be down to taking 200mg and talking nonsense. I'm really liking the functionality of the upgrade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highgrower Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I think i must have lost about 50-60% of the potential yield of the grow - a zamadelica came in at about 2oz to actually weigh up at about 1/2 when all the seeds were removed - that was the worst one to be fair but it so upsetting when breaking a bud apart over a bowl and hearing 'ping ping ping ping ping ping' and a bud which should be a few joints worth is barely enough to fill a vape.

Nasty. Thh, I wasn't overly impressed with the Zamaldelicia that I grew. In truth I didn't grow it well and perhaps I should give it another go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a dehydrator with a variable temperature setting for the first few hours and then the rest of the time I use an alcove above the fireplace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipju Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Inspiring thread. My first experiments: 5 month old Deputy Dog cob. I think the flowers were too dry. Super Malawi Haze x Celia cob. Just out of the thermos flask for the sweat. Definitely more fermenting going on than with the first attempt. Almost ready to go back in the vacuum bag. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revive Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 @Hombre del Monte Good to see you back brother. I did wonder where you got too as you seemed to just disappear. Glad to hear all is well with you dude and look forward to seeing you about the place again. Be lucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuddymucker Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 @ipju hello how do u use a thermal flask to make it is there a guide please I would like to try that looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipju Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 @fuddymucker , @highgrower has a guide at the start of this thread. Also have a look at @Hombre del Monte's original post I use a thermal flask for the 48h sweat. Fill the flask with hot water (+/- 40° C use a thermometer). Roll up the vacuum bag with the cob and insert in the flask. My plan was to add hot water after 24h to compensate temperature loss but I forgot. You can also use a heat mat, yoghurt maker, food dehydrator,... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highgrower Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Yup i did a run with just a large pot of warm water and just kept topping it up - just make sure the vacuum bag are properly sealed or you may end up with a soggy one like i did. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
