Help with this please,
I harvested 2 days ago and hung my to biggest colas, about 4 inches wide by 10 inches tall everything else got cut up small to dry, today I finally went in to cut those 2 large pieces up smaller and when I cut into the big fat buds, there where very small patches of grey mold. I have seen all the negatives about smoking moldy buds.
a couple of questions,
1. it had only been 2 days hanging, so i am wondering if the mold grey fuzz was already in the middle of the colas before harvest?
2. also could it be strain related as in the buds where so resinous and big and fat ( strain white satin from mandala)
3. I chopped up the 2 colas and seperated the pieces with small grey spots and those without, the pieces without visible mold got cut up very small to dry quickly, the stuff with a little mold went into jars and into the freezer until I decide if I can make butter with it.
On the butter note, I know mold is not good but it is fresh... and I know I have eaten moldy food before, so I am leaning towards making butter with the frozen bud, any comments would be appreciated.
also if the mold was already in the middle of the bud how do I prevent it next time, all thru the grow the humidity never was higher than about 55% with the lights off and never higher than 50% with lights on, also i never spray the plants with water or anything like that.
Long winded I know
