just please answer the question first ;)

heres the problem, i had been collecting all the plant matter (ie, non buds) from my grows in a glass jar. I had a pretty decent amount of stems and fan leaves that I was going to cook with, but now after coming home from a vacation the bottom of the jar has MOLD growing in it!!! :cry:

so the question is, if i remove the mold as best as possible, can I possibly save the plant matter? I dont want to lose several ounces and years of collecting...

im wondering if it would even matter if theres trace amounts of mold on the leaves when i immerse them in 420 degree "almost-boiling" oil, isnt that going to effectively "sterilize" the mold? (the trick is obviously to never let the oil boil with the greens in it ;)

questions, comments, concerns?

fan leaves and stems are not what your looking for when it comes to cooking all they will do is give you a woody tasting green butter. You want the sugar trim which is the leaves that are covered in trichs and popcorn buds. Mold is bad homie very bad.

actually you can bake with stems, leaves, buds, pollen sacks, pretty much anything except the roots. Im talking like pounds of plant matter to cups of oil though. I wasn't that far off before a few humid days fucked me over. I agree that when baking with small mounts of plant matter, it would be preferable to use the buds and trichromes, as they contain much higher concentrations of the extracts im looking for ;)

ya fuck mold, but i was thinking i use boiling water to sterilize old water bottles when they sit for too long and go stale. Well, boiling water and a bit of vinegar. The vinegar may raise the boiling temperature a little over 212 degrees F, but the oil im cooking with boils over around 420 degrees F, so it'd be heated to a little under that temperature.

I'm not saying I'm going to try it, only to smoke a bong and contemplate if biochemically you could render the bacteria in the mold that makes you sick inert (by killing them with super hot temperatures.)

anyway thanks for the insight y'all, it really is a common sense question, but sad to lose a big collection..

happy tokes
