Went in this morning and what do I see? More white mold, FML seriously :cry:.

So I chopped all affected buds, which were all top colas and left the remainder to finish out. The denser buds all took a hit, I guess the only good thing right now is at least my room smells nice lol. So when my significant other wakes up, I get to clip these down into smaller nugs to inspect/sift through to hopefully find some more not molded buds and then off to dry.

Well at least the KB will be taken to full maturity. I like, well liked the density of the BW (Until the mold lol), but the KB looks so much more dank. So I guess if I were to lose a plant in this grow, the BW was the better candidate.

Still though.... **Hissy fit**

that really sucks Doobs...wonder what it causing it
I haven't the slightest idea, like I said the only thing I can think of is the fan circulating air is closer to the KB side. So maybe because the KB is such a beast the BW wasn't getting as much air as I thought. That mixed with really dense buds, is what I think might be the culprit. It sucks yeah but the buds seems pretty dank dude, at least some of the under nug will finish with proper time, given that shit doesn't mold too (Knock on wood).

Breeder says 7-7.5 weeks but we all know that shit's most likely a lie lol. I'm just glad some of the calyxes are swollen on some of these tops, at least it's not too badly pre harvested lol. Trying to stay in the positive here, trying.... lol.

if all else fails..make iso with it......maybe that strain is more prone to mold than other
Well Up's BW had some white mold issues also, so it's just a lot of variables in general. I make nice iso oil, looks like shatter BHO almost. I think my friend, my other half and I will enjoy it.

Hmmm might have to go BHO instead of Qwiso, seems butane kills it and iso extracts it from what I'm reading. Need to get a turkey baster.

Here's a mold update.... ugh.

I trimmed the major fan leaves off and started really inspecting the buds, yeah all of it is going to BHO. I really hope the under nugs that didn't look fucked up, stay not fucked up. This really fucking sucks, really really fucking sucks.

my bro uses a turkey baster.....for the same money you can prolly get a cheap honey bee extractor like i got , was like $18.....and i got a copper rig for smaller runs...i use that one alot. Your iso looked like red candy last time lol was pretty dank lookin :)

Id say its just that strain that has a prob...its like the sick kid with alergies in grade skewl LOL

Idk about iso but I have made bho with moldy buds and it came out great so I can say from experience that it works with moldy buds.

I'm gonna get the BB&B stainless steel turkey baster 3 piece set. It has an attachment needle thing that screws on that fits the tip of butane cans perfectly. With the hose clamp, and silk screen micron/coffee filter it'd still cost less than the honey bee extractor. Pretty sure the HB extractor is made with the same kind of plastic/material that they use for ABS. Probably will cost around 10 bucks for the stainless steel extractor/parts not including the butane. At 6.99 you can't beat the price on that turkey baster lol. Going to make some earwax and some shatter, best of both worlds lol.

I miss my Qwiso runs lol ahhhhh!! Pardon the dog hairs, I think the second one is the pic you saw.

that sux about the mold...i killed my sour cream plant....
Well 2012 is off to a fantastic start for you, Mind and I lol. That sucks DSB, keep your head up man.

A couple of questions Last.

What kind of filter did you use silk screen or coffee filter? Also do you know what micron is the smallest I can go for BHO? I know the butane kills all toxicity of the mold/spores but I just want to have that extra caution you know?

Did you keep the buds pretty whole or did you grind them up? I'd imagine it'd be a better idea to do whole or small scissor cut buds considering the mold and all lol. When I've seen BHO done it was with lightly ground material, so I'm just wondering how you did it exactly.

I have done it with small nugs or nugs broken into chunks only 1 time and it was with jack herer. I usually use trim or when I use buds I cut it with scissors, I leave it bigger than blunt rolling consistency. You will yield more with frosty trim or cut up buds than with whole buds or big chunks. They say using big chunks makes it more concentated tho, similar to doing a "quick wash" I guess, if that makes sense. I always cut it up tho. And I use 2 brown coffee filters. I was told to only use brown ones idk why lol. But I just use a rubber band and my glass tube 1" diameter and I've never had a blowout. I run 2 cans thru each tube.
