Washing in bleach or peroxide is an effective method, but you gotta do the grow room walls and roof too, it really is the last resort, no grower wants to see his hard earned trics turning to sludge, prevention is worth a tonne of cure ....here
should you be an outdoor grower ...try to have your harvest done by this time of year, just to dodge this nightmare, to indoor growers this is really a hygiene issue, along with too a high humidity, even mis positioned vent, inlet,... can cause this in one day ...
I loose 10-20% of my crop every year to this ...so I breed mold resistant seeds, and fast growers to try and dodge it ...sometimes it works, but option one is the best ...avoid growing this time of year

Enough to make bubble but iv been reading about that and everyone is saying if its got mold, it will make it worse going in the water! Do you think it looks moldy? It smelt like ammonia with the pm, after the wash no pm just smells shit to be honest!still gets you stoned just does not taste too good!
Hahaha! To be honest it got washed coz didnt wanna "waste" bud, now its wet and smells shit. And i think it is moldy??
Thanks. What do you think about running it through iso?
Thanks. Budrot you think? Pretty sure it started from being not fully dry when stored to cure. What u think about running it through iso?

That may work if you put it through a very small screen to get spores out. I believe botrytis spores are in the 5-10 micron range. I have never tried to salvage grey mold, just tossed the buds, so I sure can't tell you anything definitive. Also, keep in mind that I can't say for sure that this is what you have.
Also, wet bud often smells like shit and smokes incredibly harsh. Same bud can be delightful when dried and cured.
Just in case it is botrytis, I would try to isolate anything looking moldy and keep it drying someplace else from the rest. Someplace far away.
I have had success removing PM with a H2O2 bath just like the Cervantez YouTube video. It seems strange that you would get mold on a significant scale after washing it. The H2O2 should have killed every spore on it if you really soaked it. We washed and rinsed the shit out of ours and lost a lot of trichomes, but otherwise salvaged something smokable.
Sorry if I'm rambling
It was washed for about 10-15 minutes. There was a lot of molasses used during grow. Got some that was not with this batch and it is totally different, completely "normal", good product. Defo happend during storage.stored it too dampThat may work if you put it through a very small screen to get spores out. I believe botrytis spores are in the 5-10 micron range.
