All of the pics below are after a week of fermenting at 25-30C ... after an initial sweat of 8 hours at 35-40C. Done the traditional way in fresh local mielie cobs. Wrapped in cling film, and bound and tied tight to get the air out. The binding caused compression which has resulted in a fused...

+1 on every one of those each of those adds microbial life of a different kind

This the Black Soldier Fly frass: And, as a part addition to my organic living soil, this is my resulting bud density. ( that's a 750ml beer bottle for scale ) And another lady just trimmed before being brought in to dry

Thanks for the past experience heads-up. I'll make sure to take extra care for the next few weeks.

I was bricking myself about the buds being too wet going into the cob, and no easy access to a vacuum machine. Mould was a big nagging nasty concern. Result!!! This is the Lemon Haze skinnier one. - around 1cm in diameter. I am so pleased ... - no mould - nice dark ferment colours -...

Well it does eliminate the age old Inch vs Cm argument ... and half of the population does carry a convenient handy measure at all times.

When I do the cling film removal, I'll take a sneak peek inside the husks, and upload some progress pics. Then it's rebind and patience for 3 months until I see and sample my results.

Are you going outdoor with your organic soil? I have zero experience with indoor, so an up front disclaimer for my suggestions below. This is all my 2 cents from growing in pots in a garden environment under the sun. 1. Feed the microbes and their shit feeds your plants I don't ever consider...

Nice work @McShnutz Looks great. Looks like a bit of purple in the hanging one 2nd from the right? One of mine harvested last week had dark purple to black buds - Grapefruit strain - smells like a dream. One thing I have found with the living soil, and organic, and supplemental brews of...

Just brought in my first of 7 outdoor plants in 2 days ago, and this thread has inspired me to give the cobbing ferment cure process a try for the first time. I'm not a stranger to the smoke and it's effects ... got my hands on some original Malawi Cob back in the 90's. It was the real deal...

One more really shitty one. Three old guys in the nursing home are discussing their age related ailments ... "I wake up in the morning with a full bladder, bursting for a leak but I battle to get it out." "Huh, with me, I'm constipated in the mornings. It takes me ages of just sitting there...

The inventor of autocorrect died last week. His funnel is tomato.

2022 Update So I'm in flowering stage again, Southern Hemisphere, outdoor. I made up another batch of the fermented prickly pear again. This time, I also added some water poured through our kitchen waste compost drums, that drains out dark and opaque and nutrient rich. To kick off...

Another late reply / 2022 bump. My mate is doing big time research into Black Soldier Fly larvae - he's the principal research officer for a venture featured on Shark Tank. Their commercial goal is high protein animal feedstock produced from the end-stage larvae fed on farming and vegetable...
