Pile of curing weed

There is no free lunch.. so what are the trade-offs for this expedited cure?

Are bystanders to assume this is your condoning of Bob's methods RM3?

I've heat cured my own tobacco many times before (when I was still smoking pipe tobacco) and it still takes at least a couple weeks and usually a month, sometimes more to do it properly, what with the drying, and then the slow increase of temperature over weeks, and checking for color changes. I wouldn't do what you're doing though.

If you are doing this in a couple of days, you're doing a good job at decarboxylating your weed which would make it great for pasta or cookies or tinctures. But I wouldn't buy it loose in a bag.

None, maintains taste & smell if done right and increases overall effect, cause it changes a few things, but basically a 6 month cure in 2 hours.

@Friction1957 was at my house this past weekend and smoked a bowl of my 2 hour cured Holy fuck, so he can comment on it

condoning? Yes, as there are many known different ways to cure and he is experimentin with a way to mimic one of em in a different way. He is also not tellin anyone else to do it but rather sharing his results. I like experiments, tis how we discover things

I'm all about experiments, but I'm not about shitting on proven methods while touting some one-off accident as some know-all formula. (this assumes Bob's weed tastes/smokes any good)

No trade-offs, but it's not the same, then something is broken 'cause that's usually not how physics works.

Please do share this "2hour" 6month cure formula...

I'm not yet ready to write the ditty on it and would not muck up Bob's thread with it

But there is a very well known treat known as a Malawi Cobb which involves curing da weed in a leaves of a corn cobb (how it has been done in Africa for centuries) and there is a guy over at ICMAG that has figured out a new way of doin it that works very well. I have mimicked his method and was very impressed with the outcome. I then experimented to discover a way to do it without the corn part and was successful and others (at my site) have done it and confirmed the results

the cob method is hardly a 6mo cure in 2hrs, been there done that

that is correct and Tang's method takes a couple of weeks

Kind of like standing outside of Edison's barn with the T5 & COB array while he is busting his balls on incandescent failed attempt 9,999 aint it?

I love this thread.

My main issue is that the OP has never actually cured anything, yet he feels the need to comment on it as if he is an expert on the subject. The guy said himself that he used to dry in the microwave, and now he basically uses a heater to speed dry. The bud looks like it's already been vaped.

The OP doesn't have the supply/patience/know-how to even have a control sample for his "experimentation" , and then he throws out made up percentages and focuses on chlorophyll coloring and enzymatic reactions to justify this shitty method. The cure is about way more than just coloring or starch content.

I myself have said that I'm willing to try this flue treatment when I pull my next harvest in, that's more than the OP is willing to do.

You can't do an experiment without a control and then declare your method superior, without a control, all the while clinging to the tenets of science while completely ignoring the method.

Unfathomable. Inconceivable.

And @RM3 you at least have a history for comparison so you know if the "experiment" is working, you've actually cured in different ways and tried them out. You actually had cured bud before. @BobCajun went from microwaving the buds to flue curing and declared tradition was for the "philistines", all the while citing enzymatic starch reaction times at various temps, and not controlling his own experiment.

That about sums it up. Off to roll a joint of my green uncured philistine pot.

I've also been bashed a bunch for presentin some of my findings here

I myself have given you flack about experimental control, I'll admit.

But you don't call the whole site Philistines when they disagree with you.

And your bud actually looks good, I'd smoke it if offered, and offer some of my own in return.

What good is shitty, brown weed if no one buys it? No one I know would ever buy brown weed. I think BobCajun smoked too much mold and his gums and brain are being rotted away.

Tons of brown weed like his in Jamaica and connoisseurs don't touch it.

The joke is that within a year or two I predict you'll see most people using a method similar to mine and they'll be looking back at green bud days as the dark ages of weed. The situation will be reversed, where nobody will buy green weed.

Look at the difference in just 2 days? It's so quick and easy that why would anyone not do it? And if you consider 100 F to be extreme conditions then never go to Arizona. Producers who don't have the decency to de-green their weed are just lazy and inconsiderate.

MMM...partially rotted weed. Yummm.

That's how you know when you're on the bleeding edge. In BobCajun's case, I think he's trolling a bit with his attitude. Or he's just one curmudgeonly bastard.

I think he is just young and impatient.

Reminds me a bit of my kids when they were in their late teens.

Gotta admit, out of all the amazing stuff I smoked with @RM3 last weekend that bowl of HF still stands out. Couldn't believe that it was a 2 hour cure, it was as if it had months in a jar. Potent, tasty and smooth.

Im guessing he started out by pouring bolling water on the roots...then??
