Like in the other thread here I just read....if you are drying, you do not want them in a closed container. Hang 'em up in a dark place that doesnt get hot and make sure there is air flow. AFTER they dry some, THEN you do what you are doing now to cure them. Right now they are too wet to keep in a plastic box with no air

The key to proper drying is to keep some air moving around the buds. If you just close them up in a plastic container they are definitely going to get mold. Take a look at the DIY section for some good bud drying boxes. Some of the ones I've seen have a fan and a passive intake. You don't want air blowing directly on the bud or it will dry too quickly and crumble into dust. You need to find the happy medium, and with a little trial and error I am confident you will get it right.

PS be careful smoking moldy bud. If you cut the majority of it out you should be fine but mold can be pretty dangerous and cause you all kinds of health issues. Be safe.

I would get them out of the plastic box, and have a little fan in the room for air circulation and take your time curing. Oh and get rid of the moldy stuff, salvage what you can and use it a lesson learned, you know what not to do next time.Good Luck.
