moldy weed?
    #5338157 - 02/25/06 02:23 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

well, once again my super dank nuggets have developed small (a bit less than 1mm x 1mm ) white flakes on them. i was told once by experts that these flakes were mold. mold that arose from excess water or humidity in or around the nugs.

has anyone had this problem? is it really mold? it happens all the time to me and now it happened with really dry nugs.

i should post a pic, but i have to register for a site to host pics and all that and i'm too blazed to bother with that right now.

i only mentioned that the nuggets were super dank and crystally for one reason. i think the flakes might have something to do with nugget drying out and the crystals forming like a think skin type flake.

under the microscope (only about 25x or so) the flakes look like skin, the trichcromes pop out through the skin likes hairs through a sc

Yes that is bud mold. Will take all the potency out of ur weed and make it taste horrible. I remember buyin 80 dollars worth of that bullshit when I was a kid and throwin it out. Thing is, it looked like ok bud except the white flakes on them. I had to find out the hard way.

Smoking an unidentified mold is a bad idea.Unless you like horrific infections.

I agree with aNeway2sayHooray, you shouldn't smoke undidentified things, especially mold.

aw shit, that does sound like moldy weed. I can deal with living bugs in my dank weed(I just have to get them out before I smoke them).
Mold must be harder to deal with. No fuzzy white bumps for me please!

It sucks that you bought it already before really looking at it.
BOy, it must take some really shitty grow methods to get 1 by 1 mil. mold growths on your weed. Im sorry. Thats just messed up.

first off, put it in the freezer so the mold cannot grow anymore. do that now, if you haven't already. don't throw it out.

if the smoke is unbearable then toss it. if it burns just slightly more than normal bud then i wouldn't worry about it too much.

i had an ounce awhile back that got white mold, i was going to toss it but stopped the growth via freezing and smoked it before it got too bad. i have no ill effects from it to this day. give it a try

can someone post a pic of moldy weed?

i suspected that my sack had a bit of mold in it for a long time but it doesn't look like mold, it looks more like seed casings that haven't grown seeds in them (hard to explain) and I dunno but there is SOME white here and there.... mostly I just have shake left now.

I've been smoking and eating and vaporizing it for like 6 months so I dunno it hasn't killed me but my chest does feel a bit fucked up.

I don't have a good camera so I can't post pics......... but I mean I'm assuming white can be from the flowers too since I've seen pics of bud with white stuff on them all the time that look dank and healthy.

I also had my friend look at it and he said it wasn't mold. But he isn't that drug smart.

it's started to smell and taste like shit though, but fuck I've had it a long time.

Well if you'd smoke your weed and not just chill on it like gold bullion, it wouldn't get moldy!


All joking aside though, if it's just a small bit of your weed thats affected, remove the moldy spot and put it in the freezer, or smoke it all right away.

I meant that in response to the OP and as a joke! damn quick reply...

None of my weed has ever been moldy or I'd definately have pics to share. I think that would be a tragedy worth documenting in digital photos.

i wish i could go take it to a doctor and be like "hey is this safe to smoke?" or something like that.

then he'd be like... pshtt..... let me get you some medical grade shit son.

huh? put the buds in a glass mason jar, they'll basically freeze inside of it and any unwanted growth will reside

most growers make hash if they get bud mold

and it isn't due to horrible grow methods as stemmer suggested. its due to high humidity at the end of flowering or during the curing process.

and bud mold is not an unidentified mold, its botrytis.

"The humidity in the environment is the amount of water vapor present in the air. Most growers know that humidity in excess of 85% percent increases the probability of the appearance of bud mold. The humidity is also critical during germination when the seedlings are extremely fragile. Humidity should be kept over 80% at this stage in the plants life to prevent the soil from drying too fast. Experimentation has shown that a relative humidity of 65% to 80% increases growth rate. Below this level the plants develop extremely narrow and tissue paper thin leaves to try to prevent excess loss of water. Above 80% relative humidity the plant have trouble disposing of toxic chemicals through evaporation."

thanks for posting the pic. and for the great info.

that mold doesn't look like what is on my nugs. and humidity did not reach those levels, and they did not mold till way way later.

they were also very dry, as i mentioned earlier.

the mold looks like empty seed casings, and like skin under the microscope.
