Late to the party here. Wow, you ate 2.5 grams of cob??? Holy bloody hell mate, most peeps would be comatose for days with 2.5 grams of that stuff. "another world" might be an understatement.Hi @Cobstopper If you look down the page in Harvest and Curing you will see posts by Tandwena , I asked him if he could come onto AFN to share his knowledge . I have made cobs with Golden Tiger , ate about 2 1/2 grams , and sent me to another world , Very strong

@Cobstopper, thanks for posting this, I am going to have to give this a try after my next grow. Seems like fun. I wondered if you were using the dabpress, I have one, and will do the job that way too. Do you press it as hard as you would for rosin?

I don’t have a press and just do it by hand as shown.@Cobstopper, thanks for posting this, I am going to have to give this a try after my next grow. Seems like fun.

After processing a couple more plants I have a few helpful hints to add.
I have settled on pressing at 75% RH. The trichomes are less tacky and don’t stick to the Dabpress as bad as 80%.
I now only cut up enough flower to make one cob at a time. I load and clamp the cylinder. It takes me about 5 minutes to prep for another one. This time allows for better compaction. Photo below shows right one that was just removed from the press and left one that has had 5 minutes to loosen up.
I now clean both top and bottom contact points of the press after every cob to keep material intact.
When removing I use a sharp knife for an easy clean look.
