is it mold inside my buds?

[Budget Buds]

I have for the last couple years...strange it did that ....

There are lots of reasons why , I dont remember all of the process I did, But It's possible I let it soak to long, Or the water quality wasn't up to par etc etc.

you did say ten years ago and did you try it more than once or have tried someone else's since? But also, if this is actually that beneficial...do commercial outdoor growers apply it too?

I only tried it once . I dont think I've ever tried anybody elses that has water cured. It has it's place for sure and honestly I'm intrigued enough by his response to my experience that i'd be willing to give it a try again with a small portion of my next harvest to see if it was error on my part

I've never heard of any big growers doing it, You do still have to dry it properly which takes time and care. I'd assume it's not done commercially due to the cost vs benefit that it produces.

Well in his defence, you did say ten years ago and did you try it more than once or have tried someone else's since? But also, if this is actually that beneficial...do commercial outdoor growers apply it too? If it does affect taste...wouldn't there be customer complaints from the dispensaries?

I dont imagine the shwag swingers care about your health one way or the other, just as long as they make a buck for the shareholders. This technique would not be cost effective for them.

No sir...I'm sorry you misunderstood...I would not water CURE either...but I will continue to BUDWASH...huge difference.

True but they're growers that run commercial operations that care about and love what they do. I reckon with enough digging you might be able to find an op that does it. If they see it as giving their plants the best of the best...Because there is a decent amount of dirt that comes off from an outdoor grow, that's legit.

But don't you want others to experience something if it's beneficial and can be shared freely? I guess I was just hoping to see a bit more as like I said...I've never tried it but you have and nothing you said sounded untrue, still opinion related but honest at least.

Yep , that's what it was I saw budwash and assumed it was the same thing I tried years ago.... Water Curing....... That is my fault .... I have absolutely dunked buds in water before when they required it.
In this case the OP has already dried they buds, I would NOT be dunking dried cannabis into water, I dont think it would help it anyways

I didn't think about it being dried already, which is a really important...thanks for pointing that out.

I think you both brought up really good points...sorry if I made it a bit messier than it should have been. Sorry about your weed
eagle toke. Hope you picked up some useful tips for your future grows.

 

[FastFreddi]

Absolutely...but I do not try to stuff my way of doing things down others' throats. I mentioned my piece..the op or others may take from it what they wish. I use one bucket of hot out of tap mixed with one cup oh 35% food grade h2o2. Another bucket with cold tap water. I pick off all useless trim, dunk into hot water,/h2o2 mix, swirl gently yet briskly for 30-40 seconds, gently shake off access, then into the cold for same process. Shake, hang with fan blowing DIRECTLY on them to initiate drying of excess water for two hours or so, then hang and dry as per normal.
Hth's

My last results...smokes beautiful.

Different viewpoints and opinions are good things when people are open minded enough to consider the other side No need for apologies mate

Absolutely...no ill will here meant at all.

Helps greatly with my injuries and ptsd.

My Friend, I will always try to be honest and as transparent as possible..I have nothing to hide.

Yeah that's pretty normal till you get your drying regiment down and the drying and curing is THE most important part of the grow as it makes or breaks the quality of the finished product.
I dry in a cardboard box with fishing line ran in rows. It has a computer fan on one end and a square hole on the other for air to enter when the fan is triggered on. The fan is humidity controlled to only come on with RH% <61% and shuts off when it gets back below 55%. It Took about 25 bucks for me to buy the components and 2 hrs to build it the way I wanted it. Since then I've never had any issues with drying my cannabis.
I have no idea how your situation is for drying so I couldn't even make any suggestions as to how to help other then if your having issues with to much humidity you should think about wet trimming , not trying to keep everything on the main stalks and allow a fan to provide indirect air circulation in the room/area you are drying. 50% Rh in the drying room is a happy medium IMo

How much did you harvest ?

didnt harvest everything yet, but apparently this happened only with the big top colas that bulked a lot. the strain looks pretty much mold resistant and most cases i could remove the affected calyxes without much trouble, saving the largest part of the yield. in some cases it started before the cut but most developed after the cutting , while drying, so i'm just trying to keep the RH low and improoving the drying room. thx for the tips

 

[Renfro]

but apparently this happened only with the big top colas that bulked a lot

thats how it always is, the biggest buds. sucks man. at least you saved most of the crop.

I once had a crop of skunk #1 and shiva going, the humidity got a little high when a dehumidifier quit on me. When I went to harvest the shiva nugs were fine, and they were bigger. The skunk #1 had botrytis on the largest colas. Some strains resist and some dont.

A buddy had a room full of strains and PM hit him. Tore his room up, but his blueberry crosses (don't remember what it was crossed with, maybe og or cookies) were completely and totally unaffected and finished fine.

Yeah .. that's mold Newton. Please let us know if it makes you sick if you smoke it. I'm curious. If it kills you then please ask a relative to update this post in your will.

Newton? didn't get it.. Obviously didn't smoke the mold part, but the healthy part have been harmless to me.
