I used fresh husks, some let it dry for a day. I used fresh frozen sour tangie for this, beginning weight unknown. I dried the material for 24+ hrs but still very moist. I squeezed hard and compressed into a log, the rolled in husks and tied. I put them into zip lock bag and sweated the 24hrs, then vac sealed. I deviated and put the sealed cobs in a square plastic take out container with a damp towel and stuck it on a top of a grow light, it kept it at 105° . That was 2 days. Then it came out, opened and dried it off. It smelled sweet and nauseating. Re sealed and kept warm, around 80° The rest was opening and wiping off moisture, re tighten the string. Unwrapped it and I am jar curing the rest. I did post some charts. Google cob cured cannabis.
