I've got significant amount of bud that's 3 and some 4 weeks premature . It has mold in multiple places , about every big bud has some . Its not melted down but would have over the next couple days.
Im thinking bubble hash and then squish the hash. If I do this should I trim out moldy bud and put the good in freezer until Im ready.? Im sparing no expense to process this premature shit to get the most i can get from a bad situation. Ideas on my options much appreciated.

If you do hash use the finest micron bag you can find but id recommend doing a bho run
As the spores cant get through a coffee filter but the oil can. If you get contamination of spores in your hash and you share it with someone with respiratory problems or a comprised immune system that may cause some very serious lung issues.

Middler, I give all of mine that have any rot or mold a H2O2 bath. If you can smoke it after, and it doesn't cause your nose to run, you got it pretty clean.

Hey Middler
Sorry to hear about your problems man. Found this facedawg post last year when I ended up tossing a good share of Getaways stuff. Dude seems to know his shit..

You can filter out the mold filaments and spores, but not any aflatoxins produced. Composting molds like Aspergillus produce aflatoxins, but molds growing on living matter, like Powdery Mildew and Botrytis do not.

Just the fillaments and spores can give some people a Type 1 allergic reaction, so even if they don't produce toxins, they should at the very least, be removed.

Cut it, chop out all infections and make sure to cut up big bud and really inspect them. Give all bud you think is safe (no visible rot) a h2o2 bath and throw out all brown infected bud. Chop the whole plant, it spreads fast and you'd rather have something to some then one at least if the rot isn't too spread. Do not sell or give away; smoke it or better yet make into butter? But at own risk as everyone else says obviously there's a risk but I've just had to harvest my alex bud 2 weeks premature and lost 1/4 of my harvest due to rot. It wasn't bad, only a few stalks, but if I'd let It be; I'd have nothing.

This is the way I do it. Pick through and get the best for smoking, make oil from the rest. Oil will last forever in the freezer.

I've had to chop just about all of my older stuff early this year. Lost from a quarter to a half of the crop so far. I'm hoping my rainy season is going to end any day now, so my late season stuff should be alright.

cut the braches thst are bad and a decent bit more as the infection will go through the stems, and if want can take that back and cut the bad out and anything with no rot near it can be used, but rot is not good to smoke, must be a rot prone strain

or maybe rot prone weather? u need to read more[/QUOTE]

a strain can handle bad weather with the right genetics.. i had strains in tge past rot out while others had 0 rot with a couple inches of rain coming down a day last season, if you look at high up growers like stickyfields, he grows trees and had little to no rot issues last year on most strains and they were 12+ feet tall, all depends on the strains also, cant toss a dense chunky indoor strain into the outdoors or itll be alot less likely to make it rathar then genetics designed for outdoors

I am hesitant to do this, because wouldn't the bubble hash give you the same headache speedy buzz that premature buds give you?
