This seems like one of those too good to be true things. I will have to experiment this harvest.
Can you "yellow" buds like tobacco?

I wish I knew lol, we know the perceived increase in potency is from the compression of many buds, it's basically hash when done. We know the decarbing is from the sweating process (why you can eat it it) but we don't know why it changes the high ?

So if I do this I will have the best weed on the block?
I mean I do anyway but I want to OD mufuckas on THC.

Read that whole thread, it's a must if you're gonna do it and just know every smoke (eat) report is very real. Every one that has done it at my place is postin the same kind of smoke reports. I read there was a guy in cali sellin 1 oz cobs for $500 and gotta say once ya do it, you will keep doin it
it's good shit

hmm, can you save me some reading and tell me how much bud it takes for a zip? That prety much determines it for me I am small grower.

That's my point. You can either age it for a year or "speed age" it by increasing the heat and humidity. It's just a matter of heat speeding up the biological processes, like the yellowing in 2 days instead of 2 weeks.
Here's a graph showing the importance of moisture for fermenting. Under 30% there's no heat produced, which means no fermenting activity. Then simply by increasing the moisture to 30-40% you kick start the process. Apparently tight packing also helps. BTW, ammonia which is produced during fermentation might react with THCA producing an ammonium salt, which I'm sure would be harsh to smoke. So I suggest decarbing the material either before or after the fermenting. It will decarb as the ammonium salt too but it will give off ammonia. I don't know what the lowest temp is that will decarb but that's what you would want to use, if the yellowing and fermenting temps don't do it themselves.

Ok I read its half weight after cobbing.
I could sacrifice a couple zips in the name of potency.
Its smoked in a pipe?

Ok guys, going to purchase myself some corn that is cobbed tonight and borrow mama's vaccuum sealer. So its ready by harvest.
Will post a new thread once I acquire said cobb and sealer.

So "cobbing" is wrapping weed in corn leaves, meaning the covering of a cob of corn, and burying it? Seems a little crude and dirty to me. I read one thing that suggested getting a trash can and putting a bunch of dirt in it. Maybe corn leaves put out ethylene, which speeds up curing. Can't see anything else special about cobbing besides the leaves, which I assume is what is meant by "cobs", since the post I read said to roll the weed in them like a joint. Can't really roll corn cobs, meaning the part left after the kernels are removed.
Actually I read that it was banana leaves they used, not corn. Bananas and their leaves put out ethylene. But the fact that cobbed weed, which is really just fermented weed, brings a much higher price than what everybody else sells, pretty much validates this thread don't you think? Fermenting apparently makes weed way better.

Won't ammonia be dangeros if you dont decarb all the way?That's my point. You can either age it for a year or "speed age" it by increasing the heat and humidity. It's just a matter of heat speeding up the biological processes, like the yellowing in 2 days instead of 2 weeks.

Thanks for clearing that up that would have been embarassing. Tons of vaccum sealed corn cobs. I think you treat the weed like its the cobb lol

I got one of those Sunbeam ExpressHeat pads. If you roll it up and put a meat thermometer in the middle it gets up to the high 130s F at the lowest setting, but if you lay it out and put 3 layers of towel over it, then the thermometer and then another layer of towel it only gets to 99, which is just right for yellowing. Later, for fermenting you would wrap it around a sealed container of material, with probably 1 layer of towel. The whole thing would be put in a dark garbage bag. You would have to open it and fluff it once a week or so, adding moisture if needed. Four weeks later it's done.
I don't know if yellowing can be done between layers of parchment and the towels or not. Might rot or mold. I'll try it with a very small amount.

the guy on ic mag doesn't bury his, he puts it in the cob, and then puts it into a vac. bag for one week at first for anything over an oz and a half, up to two oz cobs.. anything less than an oz, he says to cut the time in half.. he goes on to say the lack of oxygen in the bags stops the buds from forming any mold when sweating as they get rather wet from the sweat.. after a few days in the vac bags, he'll open them up to check on progress, make sure things are going well, and to tighten the strings on the cobs a bit more since the buds will shrink during their time in the sweat process. after he checks on them, re-tightens, back into the vac bags to finish out the 7 day sweat process..
after a week in the bags, he takes the cobs out, puts them in a cool, dry place and lets them dry out again, as i've mentioned, they get wet during the sweat process.. the longer you store them, the better the end result is according to the op in the link to the thread on ic mag..
