Is this mould?

wunderbardeutsch · Oct 31, 2020

Hello

Just put these in jars. They dried fast, 4 days. Is it definitely mould or could it be something else? Other plants look fine, but this one has this brown color in all the buds I've checked.

How did you dry them? And it looks like it could start to form mold. Hard to say because of the purps on your leafs. But as long as the nug is dry it should be fine. Cure it alone, or continue drying it if it smells like herby chemical.

Looks really good actually!! Like fire! Do you have a small moisture gauge you can put in the jar? How does it smell and taste?

I see your concern on the one bud.
One way to tell if it is mold is to rub it. If it creates dust or is powdery it is mold.

Cut them branch by branch, hung them in a small tent with an extractor fan. Passive intakes at the bottom.

It doesn't smell very good. Strong on the citrus. In the jar it smells like hay. Haven't dared to taste it yet.

The one I just rubbed had been dried 5 days (+1 in the jar). Wasn't dusty or powdery, but wasn't exactly dry either. Sticky.

Those look like fire nugs, bro. I don't see any mold.

Well smoked one. Don't know about mould, but it sure was fire. Knocked me out cold for 4 hours.

wunderbardeutsch · Nov 2, 2020

Still very unsure about these. The smoke is very potent, but also harsh and not sweet like when I harvested a bud some weeks ago before chopping. I can't see anything unusual with the surface of the bud under a loupe, just the brownish color some places. The color seems to be uniform in top nugs and low nugs the same throughout the plant. It smells like weed, but not great weed. RH in the jar is below 60.

This is a top cola ripped open:

Rubbed out brown on the left, green on the right.

The main stalk

This is a fresh cut lower bud of another plant of the same strain, Gelato. Exhibits the same browning, notice the stalk is fresh.

Is this mould?
