Bud Rot Watch; White Widow

I went out to visit my buddy's spot, and when he whipped out his WW jar we found bud mold.

Turns out he let it dry on a shelf with no air flow for several days, and then stuck it in a jar with no burping for about a week.
When we got to it there was a good amount visible, but I think it was spores, and they are all gone now.
After a while of manhandling and sad loss feelings, I decided to take it home to chop up and make fertilizer.
Upon closer inspection with a magnifying glass and proper light, I cut off the little tiny bits of mold, and started to cure the rest of it properly.
I feel like it may have a chance, there isn't visible mold anymore.

I'm going to be burping it for several days with about a half hour out of the jar about 2 or 3 times a day.

After several days of this, I will be doing about 6 hours in the freezer in a jar, then pull it out and do 6 hours in room temperature with several burps. Then back into the freezer.

We'll see how she looks after a week or two.
I've been reading around and I couldn't find the thread I read a few weeks ago.
If anybody can put up links to Mold Smoking information, that would be grand.
I know I remember reading something like Moldy Bud causes stomach cramps.
And that smoking just a little isn't bad.
So if the bud looks clean and smells clean in a week or two, I'll sample a bowl or two.
If I get a stomach ache/bad experience then it will be chopped up into compost.
Memory tells me the thread I'm thinking of was something like;
Everything you need to know about mold!

Or something like that.
Thanks:leaf:

there will still be lots spores in there waiting to find a nice damp environment to grow in

its not your stomach you have to worry about.. its your lungs.

soak that weed in water changing water every day for 7 days that should kill the spores and save the bud

Water cure?
That makes me super nervous..
I've never done water cure.

Anybody got a recommendation to the best Water Cure method?
I know there's several.

:shock: let me ask you a question, if it wasn't weed but food we was talking about, would you still be thinking about trying it? when it comes to mold you never know if its truly all gone. its a done deal.:fire:

just a word of advice, putting it in the freezer then out then in then out will cause condensation and could possible spark up your probelm again.

Oh, reminds me of a stem I molded in my friends freezer, thanks.
I will not do this freezer bit.
I'm going to continue burping until it's dry, and if it smells rank, and I see anything, it will be Water Cured for a one week treatment.
