No, more then 5 times. I only used two and have one that’s still holding up fine and one that won’t hold a seal much at all.

These pictures were taken as the cobs came out of a 24-hr sweat.
Cob # 1 was done at harvest. Cob # 2 was hung to dry for two days at around 75-80 degrees and mainly 50% humidity. She hung in my hallway with mild airflow.
Note the darker tones on the cob taken with less moisture.
In this picture the darker cob is the first one, made with wet buds after being washed and hung for four hours. The husk is soaking up those colors.
Can’t wait to open them next week. I’ll be flying out on the 16th so I’ll open them on the 8-10th and then again on the 15th. Then they’ll sit and cure unopened while I vacation for two weeks.

I dont thik it would have been continued if mold was a problem with the traditional method. I would have to guess that burying them was done to allow the ferment to take place and also helped keep the mold away. I would venture a guess at the low oxygen levels under ground allowing the process to take place without mold forming.

Very rarely and only in the rainy season due to poor storage after drying. When we did find mold we still smoked them anyway I dont understand all the paranoia with mold.
For the most part I agree...for the last nine years of my career, I was in building maintenance...If I had a dollar for every 1000 spent on consultants... sampling...remediation, and lost revenue due to that, I would be enjoying an even more luxurious retirement...and it worked out pretty well for the medical world...just think penicillin...
...purple mexican(rehydrated) about a month in...untested at this point...

Here is my gang in cure. Left to right : Sucker Punch 71g, Super Lemon Haze 61g (No wrap), Kwazulu 61g (No wrap). The no wrap's were just bud placed in the vac-seal bags and the process run through.

Nice work guys! 
JustMeds, you have me thinking about starting to ferment my buds. Lol!
Hook, have you had the cob wrapped in the husk this entire time? That purple is soooo enticing. Can’t wait to get my DDAs going again. I’ll be swimming in purple cobs.

Interesting group. It’ll give you a well-rounded choice of effects. Sweet!
Envy. Lol! Do you have the luxury of growing for just yourself? I’m having a hell of a time growing enough for my voracious appetite for good sativas and still meet the patient needs, limited though they may be.

I grow for a few but mostly me. Insomnia pain and ptsd guide my choices.
I had to take down one big nugs fast. Hermies. Started smelling like terpintine. Now it smells like cucumbers and juicy fruit gum.

I’ll be interested to hear how that smell modifies following the sweat.
Whoops! You already harvested that one. Lol!

I like Maui Waui sativa. Tropical fruits. Pineapple, oranges and papaya. Yummy!

Ooo... I grow a Jamaican for the daughter, the indica girl, and it smells like fruit salad heavy in mango when it’s ripe.
I grow Dark Devil Autos for me. It’s a racy, sorta hallucinogenic chemovar, rich in deep purple tones and surrounded by a berry and fuel fragrance. I haven’t yet tried anything that smacked of pineapple. I’ve never tried Maui Waui....yet. Lol!
