What's the point of this exactly ? Increase potency ?
It's for people that don't grow bud really well so they try to ferment it, it really kills the flavor, totally wrecks the buds, smooth smoke tho.
Have you actually tried this?
Ive tried it, it's really old school, and i'm on icmag too. It's mostly for weed that doesn't taste so great as it kills all flavor, you heard of water curing? Fermenting always ruins the flavor but can make it smoother. Just do it yourself it doesn't take that much just a branch, you should also try making thai sticks for research purposes.
I find people split on preference. Younger crowd seems to prefer the bud, older crowd more into the cob, just my anecdotal survey. I dig both.
Looks can be deceiving, you get some crazy coloring, black included. Scope it to know for sure.
I got ya, my mistake. I don't know about potency, just different in my opinion. The cob smokes much smoother and has a much larger body high, extremely relaxing, one of mine goes narcotic after about three big tokes, which is great if that is what you want or need. Buds have more terpene taste and more heady in nature compared to cob cured. None of the 6 strains I cobbed were pure sativas and I hear those go a little more trippy, but I could be wrong. I'll keep doing them, its like getting a 2 for 1.
You may be right, but it feels different to me. One possibility, the smoother toke off the cob may allow larger hits. Other than that I'm at a loss to explain it.
