Better crispy than moldy 👍👍
Yep, and can always rehydrate it later.
the only thing more depressing then mold on my homegrown baccy is mold on my homegrown weed
love your vids man!
Mold makes me cry. Thanks very much! 🔥🔥🔥
Grew for 5 years, fortunately only lost a few oz here and there to the mold curse
Heck had a auto strain I was growing that molded while finishing up 😭
Haven't grown baccy yet so that's gonna be a journey
you still can smoke it, it will taste almost the same only looks a bit different
Your vids are great. Curious to see how native techniques/approaches may differ or not. I’m growing mine for ceremonial use, so happy you share so much 💜
Thanks very much. Hope your plants go well 🔥🔥🔥
That’s some dang good advice Ive lost an entire crop of of organic smoke by jarring it up too soon
It's heartbreaking, for sure.
Great information, thanks for sharing.
Ever use a humidity pack like a Boveda during the jar aging process? They maintain the RH at a fixed percentage (65% or 70% etc) by adding or removing moisture as needed. Planning my first grow this year and want to cure/age the tobacco using the simplest methods as possible. I do not mind having to wait a year or more if I have to. Enjoyed all your videos!
They srip flavor and smell, used em for a few years then noticed my batches (cannabis) were way more potent then the same product with boveda packs.
Thanks, I'm growing tobacco for the first time this year. Thanks for sharing
Looks great !! this year's harvest I finished off the fermentation @70% humidity in a large tote and will lower to 60% indefinitely !!!!
Mold vs tobacco plumage
It's just too hard to grow tobacco here in the UK, but great tips for those who can 😊👍
I'm growing tobacco for the first time this year and I know the pain all too well. There's so many things you have to worry about.
Hopefully I'll get to the stage where I can use this guys tips lol
It is a learning curve, but when you have bags of free Tobacco, it's all worth it!
Howdy S'PC! I kicked smoking years ago. I'm thinking barter, so this year I'm going to try my hand at it. Of course a pipe full wouldn't be out of the question heh heh! They say if you can grow tomaters, and I can grow the snot out of 'em, then you can grow tobacco. It's rest that's a mystery. Can't thank you enough for your expertise. I love an experiment! You the man!
this is good advice to take into consideration as i prepare to germinate my first tobacco plants. Thanks again
Fantastic, good luck! 🔥🔥🔥
Hello!
Very cool thx ✌
Remember light getting into a moist jar-bag without air flow is a breading ground for mould unless your airing it twice a day, dark cool place after fermentation is the way
Finding mold sucks. Thanks for the vid. Luckily I leave it to you professionals to prepare the baccy...I prefer to buy it tinned, bagged or jarred already. 😉 Hope you are well! Have a great week!
It sure does! Thanks brother 🔥🔥🔥
Pull it out of the jar .. let it dry right out, dust off the mold .. its still good if you caught it early enough
A fella got out his hookah to smoke traditional with us and I noted back then that he watered it briefly to reconstitute it to use it, so it burned correctly, so he was keeping it drier than smokable. I didn't see where but I think in a bag.
Small amounts of standard mould on tobacco is normal an safe... As lo Ng as u catch it early.....dry It and spank it to send the mould airborne outside an get back to fermenting..... a serious outbreak u can dump...but a ltl mould is normal an safe as long as it ain't weird colours an smells Like death lol
I can attest to this because i just bought a (moldy) tobacco leaf to roll my weed in, i took it out the bag and rubbed some of it off (haha😂) checked back today and it was pretty much all gone. Rubbed a little vodka on it just to be safe
Have you ever tried using vacuum sealed bags (like a Foodsaver) for long term storage once you reach an acceptable humidity level? I was also wondering if using a sous vide cooker on a vacuum-sealed bag of tobacco to gently caramelize the sugars and develop flavors might be interesting, I'll have to investigate, I'm sure other people have tried this already.
Thanks for the vid and good advice. Just a quick question. I'm assuming the humidity would vary depending on the ambient temperature. So at what temp should it be at 65% humidity in the jars?
So.. i can choose between jar or plastic bag in very beginning? The key is keep humidy at 60-70% to avoid mold? No matter is it in jar or bag? Or do i have to do first plasticbag thing and then move it to jars?
Thanks for the video and advices. You are doing great!
Maannnnn bummer
Can you vacuum seal the jars.
Should i de-stem the leaves before storing?
do you ferment before storing in this manner?
Can I just ask - is this long term storage or at least it’s preparation the same as fermentation? It seems like this word gets thrown around a lot but no novices (like myself) have a clear idea of when t happens and what it looks like
What kind of bag is that, That you're curing in?
is this the same as fermenting?
Gallon ziplock is fine
So- you make damn sure your humidity is under 70 before sealing your jars for ages?
So to properly make the tobacco fermentation process successful.. all I have to do is cure it then put in a jar for 6 months or more with humidity below 70? That’s it or am I missing something? Thanks
As long as it's color cured so it's not green, yes! It'll gas off a lot of ammonia if you give it a smell occasionally, you'll notice that.
@@smokinpipechannel9602 Thanks for your help on this. Two other questions. Why cure tobacco in a shed? Is it the heat the humidity levels? Secondly, fermenting tobacco in a jar, does simply keeping it in a jar tend to keep the humidity at the right level? Or would I need a humidifier?
I cure mine in a warm dry room indoors. Jar or plastic bag stops humid air getting in and the smell amount of humidity from escaping.
a little tiny amnt of mold wont hurt nobody 😂
It's just "plume" anyways
Try storing in a cardboard box or a plastic tote.. kept some of my leaves in there for 3-4 years even .. but to tell you the truth .. i dont think they taste any better .. now a days i smoke mine within 10 days of the leaves drying right out , because i use a different fermenting process. The taste , smell ,is just as good, if not better as the aged stuff 🤗
Mind sharing your drying process?
Could H2O2 be used as a preservative? It kills mold, bacteria & yeast spores even at very low concentrations 0.1-0.3% one could dilute some 3% hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy with water and moisten the leaves with it before canning them? Advantage of H2O2 is, it turns into oxygen and water so there is no unwanted additives.
H2O2 does react with nicotine, but according to a paper I've read it turns into cotinine quantitatively. Cotinine retains all positive effects of nicotine (nootropic, antidepressant) whilst being much less toxic. Pharma industry even once considered marketing cotinine as an antidepressant.
I cannot stand MOLD!!!
