They used a yoghurt maker for sweating iirc and vacuum bags.
What Cured Weed Looks Like

Yeah that was me, I was doing it years ago, in 2016, I posted about it on here. It's possible somebody copied me but it's pretty unlikely that by sheer chance somebody else thought of using a heating pad inside a plastic container, don't you think?

WTF? A yogurt maker to cure weed? And what the hell were the vacuum bags for? Actually I just googled and found what you're talking about on another forum. They were doing a "cob curing" thing. My method does not involve corn cobs whatsoever. What they were doing was fermenting, which produces ammonia. My method does not produce ammonia at all, there's no ammonia smell. They sealed theirs up, mine is in a pile so the top is open to the air and the pile is turned regularly. I want to avoid fermentation, not produce it. Ammonia is not a good thing to smoke and it stinks.

A yoghurt maker maintains a constant temperature. I really don't remember If the op of the thread used it or if it was someone else. It's been a long time...

Honestly, I would give another dry/cure method a try, will have to wait till next harvest for some fresh bud, how thick does the pile have to be, how long before the bud starts to stiffen up? Is this more of a tobacco method? What would make you try this originally, is there a story behind it? I never really though much about the process other then get plants to dry at a decent rate so I can smoke the shit out of them, im usually pleased with the dry anyways, I only jar to store it, if it does something magical while it’s stored, great. Mentioned before I usually dry it past the point of curing, sometime before a jar.

Lol thanks for the words of encouragement
Is that similar to the Malawi cure which I think is done from fresh into a banana peel and then I think buried in very hot sand? I think i read about that in the carabible years ago.

Some Hawaiians I stayed with gave Aloha to 150 people that way - except they buried a 300# pig instead of weed - we smoked the weed while we waited 3 days for the pig to finish!
Kidding aside - any more info on that? I think it will be fun to try different ways of curing. But being ready for a different appearance smell and stone is part of that - the "good" brick weed we got was bud, rock hard, light brown / greenish, gravel sized nuggets (not nugs hard nuggets)
I wouldn't buy it today based on look / scent. - But as much as I love my "skunk hit by a leaking bus" scented, sparkly green spears
--- I like the idea of trying new things - might come across something different and good, or maybe just a bit more knowledge to add to my current curing "skill".I remember those bricks having a seriously hypnotic couchlock buzz - a whole group of people watching "The Wall" in silence type of buzz.
** Stoned ramble below:
I see it a bit like my surfboard collection. About 30 years ago I noticed that all my boards, about 30 at the time, measured within a half inch of each other - even my customs. 95% of my boards were almost identical to each other! Almost no variation between them.
- f9 seeds if you will.
Similar to a pheno hunt, I began a shape hunt - anything novel in surfing. - I got to try out a 5-fin Bonzer - a real freakshow of a board:
My friend's seemed too long, too narrow up front, fat in the back --- and 5 fins??? (Standard boards have 3). There was a laundry list of things I didn't like about it and when the surf got to the recommended height (overhead and powerful), I took the board out expecting a brutal beating when those fins started to drag and the narrow hull caught a rail.
After the session, I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with the shaper, and put my name on a year long waiting list for a custom. Couldn't wait, and scooped one up on craigs.
That doesn't mean I only ride Bonzers now - my old standards and a lot of new shapes are in my quiver as well (and the Bonzers I've ridden only like big powerful waves)
Here's the point: I like variety - even when feeding my head.
Maybe there's a variation on curing that might be fun to try on a small batch, or on some bagseed.
I doubt it will become my cure of choice, but it just might end up as a method for something different.

Curing properly gives aerobic bacteria time to digest the chlorophyll metabolites and other sugars. Drying to quickly does not allow that. Simple and straight forward. You simply telling everyone their stuff sucks, you are the greatest and have created a way to make science work differently is really quite amusing. The single fact that you ignorantly tell everyone their stuff sucks really makes your opinion a joke but at least your ranting is amusing. Now as you were.

Also isn't there the factor of the slow decarboxation of the thc to the former that we are looking to ingest? Obviously there are other faster ways to do this but to most preserve both the terrapen profile also i always thought slow as the best.

The curing process forces the plant to use those residual sugars, starches and nutrients before they degrade. In short, proper curing stops the degradation process before volatile compounds like terpenes and cannabinoids evaporate or transform into less interesting compounds. Thus, a good cure will not only improve cannabis aroma and flavour, but will also increase its potency.

Is the smallest amount one can experiment with though 100 grams with this method? I didn't see a definitive answer on this above anywhere.

I kinda asked how thick of a pile to make but he hasn’t been back yet to yell at us yet. I will throw down a qp for the cause

LOL, go for it bud. I am all for trying new things, I think it is the ridiculous arrogance of the OP that made me comment. What he says goes against the science of how curing works. Him telling everyone they have ever only smoked garbage and are not curing their plants but he is in 2 days is ludicrous. Every time he posts and uses the word "cure" I have the same thought.

I mean what he says might work fine for curing plants i just don't think this is the right application but hey ill try most things once. Hell most things twice just to make sure I didn't fuck it up the first time! And like I have said I have done much weirder shit to catch a good buzz hahaha

Haha oh I know man, what confuses me is why it took this long before he lost his marbles. But fuck, I’m still going to try it.
