You just threw it away??? I was thinking, worst case scenario, you can still make edibles out of it. No?
Found a little white fuzz on hash. Now what to do?

No even ingesting mold is a bad idea.
I just tossed it, I thought about running it thru alcohol and re-drying evap alcohol may kill spore but it's risky in my opinion.

But I thought Mold was distinct from Powdery Mildew, especially when it came to how harmful they are when ingested. I don't know. Maybe it's not worth even pursuing, but i particularly dislike the idea of trashing it out of ignorance.

Putting it in a sealed container while still wet; the PM spores had to also be present. It's systemic, so it was potentially on the product that was turned into hash, whether you can see it or not.
I wouldn't recommend that h2o2 method. Are you familiar with BHO? Running it into earl that was filtered through a Büchner funnel is the only way I see to make it "safe". And that's still a iffy call for me.

Why no h2O2?

The concept of soaking something in a water solution to get rid of a problem started from excess moisture just makes no sense. The cold temps from butane will help kill any spores, and the Büchner funnel will help remove spores. If you've never made oil, don't.

Just a blurb:
Powdery mildew is an obligate parasite, meaning it needs a live plant host to survive. It overwinters as mycelium or cleistothecia on dormant or dead plant tissue. Thorough sanitation and removal of weeds between crop productions can reduce future infections.

Hmmm, i'm not sure what to make of that. Does that mean that it can't be powdery mildew on hash, because hash is not a live plant? Or, it still can be PM, but in the cleistothecia or mycelium form? Or, does it mean that it is simply mold that I saw?

I believe it's mold but only a lab will give a 100% correct answer.
Try looking at it and compare it to other photos using Google.
I find most things are available.

What is their definition of live plant? I have seen PM grow on drying buds, cardboard that got wet and left outside even just on the side of an wooden outbuilding.

Carolina dream I think it is hard to identify PM vs Mold.
I have seen Mold, I worked construction and we did storm repair.
I saw places with 5 colors of mold growing some growing straight 8" + tall.
other mold was flat and looked powdery.
It takes a lab to differentiate microscopic stuff.

You are correct, it is hard to identify PM vs mold. I studied the shit out of molds and mildews when starting in mycology. I'm not saying I'm correct, just letting you know it wasn't a complete shot in the dark. I'm now interested and will now prob spend the rest of my night researching PM.

Why would you put wet hash in a bag? there is no logic there. When i make bubble hash after I clean the bags, it sits in the window seal for 24 hours before I even touch it or press it. Pretty simple, moisture in a sealed container usually leads to mold eventually. Patience is key in everything.

Everyone learns at different rates and by different ways. I'm sure if the OP was informed of that information prior, the wet hash wouldn't have gone into the bag.

Very true. And if you do spend the rest of the night researching powdery mildew, please pass on any relevant info. After all this, i'm still not sure what to do.

Read the information on Wikipedia about powdery mildew and apply it to our hobby. It has everything u need to know. It was a long read though.

All of the information was relevant, or I would paraphrase for you.

I threw away 10 grams of very good bubble hash just like 3 weeks ago because of this same reason. Like an idiot I closed my jar after making my bubble then looked at it like a week later and it had mold all over it. I wouldn't eat it or smoke it so it went in the trash.

I read it, but i'm not sure what to take from it. I don't think I'm going to spray milk on my hash.

Lol, I'm sorry you didn't get much information out of that one. Just so u know (in case you ever try it) the milk has to be fresh. Not store bought. Gonna have to find a farmers exchange that sells it. It does work though. I use it on my outdoor garden every year as it is hot and humid in the south.
