Did i caught mold on my buds?

when you cure is it normal for buds to turn darker? My buds were fluffy when i harvest now during the cure its dense and darker. It has a harsh taste when i fast dry a sample but stills gets me very high. What do you think is happening? I will show a before and after pic of dry and cured.

before the cure


after the cure



also before the cure i tasted alot of flavor by microwaving a bud, now during the cure it taste like shit and is making me believe its bud rot or something and i burp day n night. Its day 4 of curing n still taste like ass

4 days of curing is not a full cure. Most on here says 2 weeks minimum, longer even better

But wat can explain it tasting like crap from a fast dry sample during the cure to a fast dry sample after?

Oops i ment a fast dry sample during the drying and a fast dry sample during the curing

Your buds should lose alot of fluff when drying..what does it taste like? Hay?

Yes like hay and no flavor at all, also i made a noob mistake of adding toilet paper to help it dry and now the toilet paper fuzz is all over, also making it difficult to assume if its mold.

If it is mold what would the smoke tasye like?

I dried for 7 days b4 curing

Cure for longer the hay smell should go away..does the stem snap or bend? Ive never smoked moldy bud so i couldnt help with the taste

It did when i was drying but went bendy again in the cure

if its mold and ur buds are dry sometimes the mold will be like dust,but I think if it were mold you would really know it if you smoked it,I had mold a few times when I used to grow outside,it would be dark on the outside but in the center of the bud would be ickey slimey kind of stuff,and I remember getting it on my hand and it reminded me of an absecessed tooth so if your weed taste like that then you got mold

you went bendy again this happens to me all the time. there is some moisture still left in the buds and when we seal it air tight the moisture gets back in the bud again.
i use to take it out and redry it and it seemed like it was never ending. like months i felt like it was taking. so now when i thing it is dry i like to leave it an extra day or two to dry.

Fawk i think i got mold, i see fuzz and buds getting dark im fawked with 11 oz fawk me!!
