This guys gotta be trolling...does anyone want brown bud??

What confuses me even more is that people appear to be rationally talking to this op

Trolling? I really hope so. I'll at least hand it to Bob that he gets a good laugh. Every time.
 
Abscesses need to be cut and/or scrapped out. They grow and eat. They dont go away.

Get it seen to and removed asap.

I had one the size of a 50 cent piece cut out of my gum once. Painful.

"Getting less puss than before"

It's been going on for months

(shudder)
 
I'm having a good puss day today. I have to take it one puss day at a time. Scraped out huh? Guess I should look into that. But this expedited curing thing? It's not for everybody. It's like not everybody likes Cuban cigars.

It's a simple scientific fact that starch enzymes double their rate of action for every 10 C rise above room temperature, up to a point where it starts degrading at about 50 C. So by raising the temperature by 20 C you quadruple the rate of curing. What would take 3 weeks at room temperature takes only about 5 days with a heating pad. While some people may not have electricity yet, since I do I might as well use it to get a timely rate of curing. Others? Who cares what they do? Frankly I shouldn't even have posted about this. Fortunately, people are so stupid it doesn't even matter.

We are stupid...it's just that these things you say go against the norm...and quite frankly, confuses me lol. If it is such a good method, why don't other people do it. Please cite if u can

My guess is that 99.9% of people simply imitate what they see on weed sites. I bothered to research the subject of curing, and since tobacco is the only other plant that people smoke that's where the information came from. People probably also are moldphobic and think high humidity would result in mold. Personally I don't care how others prepare their weed, I just showed how I do mine. I'm not trying to convince anyone to imitate me. If you want green weed that's your business.I simply showed that it's relatively quick and easy to get brown weed if you want to try something different.

You're either a really good troll or completely delusional.

How are tobacco leaf and cannabis flower similar? How are they different? What are the pharmacologically active ingredients in each?

Are there other methods to cure tobacco? How do they differ in product quality from the flue treatment? How does tobacco leaf curing in whole differ from cannabis flower curing?

Just some questions to spur some thoughts...

I guess that's something for you to spend your time on. From experience, I can say that weed changes color a little slower than tobacco. Aside from that, pretty much the same.

Thanks for the diagnosis, Dr Putz. My unsolicited diagnosis of you is bipolar gay.

Thanks for the diagnosis Nurse Jackie, what strain would you prescribe? Oh how about some that Bobby browns? Does it come already pre heated or so I need to throw it in the microwave for a few minutes?

Have you ever actually cured cannabis before? Or even tobacco? Or is all this basically conjecture based on some light Google reading?

I'll presume the latter.
 
What Bob is doing isnt really flu drying/ curing either as his temps are nowhere near what they use for Tobacco, I dont know why we all keep comparing tobacco to Cannabis ..they are not the same but for the purpose of flue curing tobacco here is an explanation for those who carnt be bothered to look.

c) Flue Curing:

1. Flue curing is followed in the production of high grade cigarette type tobacco.
2. Tobacco is cured under artificial heat in flue curing barns.
3. The leaves are tied in a log of three by their stalks and hanged on the bamboos in the barn.
4. When the barn is loaded, it is closed and fire is set in the oven.
5. The curing process is completed in three stages –

a) Yellowing of Leaves:

i) The temperature of the barn raised upto 310C for three hours.
ii) Then temperature is quickly raised to 520C and held for 30 min.
iii) Then temperature is again reduced to 310C by drawing of the fire and opening the ventilators.
iv) During this stage leaves give off moisture and becomes yellow in colour.

b) Fixing of Colour:

i) The temperature of barn is raised slowly to 490C and air is allowed freely.
ii) The leaves are kept at this temperature for 30 hours.
iii) The colour of leaves get fixed and they cured.

c) Drying of Leaves:

i) The temperature of barn is raised again to 600C to 770C for 20 hours
ii) The midribs and leaf stalks get dry and curing is completed
iii) The moisture content of cured leaves should be between 8 to 18%.

Just leave the 0 off the end of every temperature and you'll be reading it correctly. It's apparently supposed to be a degree symbol but the page you got it from made a typo. Unless of course you think they liked to bake their barns. 52 C is 125 F, which is the temperature I stated. The other part should be 38 C, not 31, which is only 88 F. It also takes longer than they say there. You have to read more than one page.

Well maybe it's not a typo. Maybe tobacco farmers really do heat their barns to 520 C. That's only 968 F. They can sterilize the barn at the same time as they cure their tobacco, plus if they stick a cow in there they can have roast beef.
 
Tis sad that folks don't get this, most stuck in the mob mentality of what good weed is.

There are many different ways to ferment and cure, when I designed and built my fermentation chamber I studied not only tobacco but tea leaves as well. Hell we even make our own sauerkraut and apple cider vinegar ,,,, fermentation is fun 8)

More folks should be experimenting with this and discovering things,,,,, like it changes the high and can make it much more intense. I recently got into makin Malawi Cobb's and while there is no bag appeal to em the high is incredible
