Spider mites on drying buds

Do we have another option?

Just dry it out. Set the oven at 200F then once warmed up turn it off and put a cookie sheet covered in buds in there until it cools down and it'll be crispy dry.

I tried UV light but it didn't seem to do anything. Drying stops it from spreading.

I have a water purifier and the water is 0.10 PPM

How are you measuring 0.1 ppm? Not with any off the shelf ppm meter that's for sure.

maybe 0.1EC

Throw it away.........at least trash the moldy shit for fucks sake.

Seriously.... I mean why risk your health for some sketchy weed ?

Isn’t there someone or some place to score some weed ? ... dispensary or the dude behind Taco Bell ?
Hard times ? Sell the TV .

If you really need to consume this .... look at water curing.

As you can see I got an amazing harvest and the smoke and taste is amazing. This harvest was my masterpiece and I don't want to lose it for a fucking mold problem. Also small buds do not have the problem!
I think inside the big buds environment is different then outside. The evaporated water may not have escaped and may have accumulated in it. Due to it can give a chance to develop nicely.




You say throw that beauty, it is not an option! The density of the heads is very good. Only the picture 70gram...

Today warmer outside and DRY room currently; 22C - RH:%48
OFC at night it will down to 10-12C - RH:%50 but I will open a heater inside the room and I'll try to 20C- RH:%40

I'm now just waiting and checking everyday the buds. It seems not developing any furter but I'm not sure ofc. I got 900g harvest and examine all of them everyday is a lot of work.

It seems h2o2 bath will be fine but I wonder how is the weight difference after that?

Your 50 yr old self is going to hate the now you if you ingest Botrytis....you will screw your lungs. Your call though,
Good luck....really.

I'm not stupid. I won't smoke it while its still moldy, I'm looking a solution bro. And H2O2 seems a solution to me.
Even it is not then I'll make it rosin like I said. If inside the hot press they're still going to be a threat then what that is? Hulk? No man, its just Bruce Banner

You are a prime example of what is wrong and how to be a fucking idiot,congratulations.

If we can't get rid of a living creature, microorganism, biological organism! that makes all of us are stupids!
There must be a way. Thank you.

I've read too many things. There is some radio frequency solution but it's hard to DIY it and I'm not sure is it working.
Spores are too small and can be spread quickly. Killing them without harming your product most difficult job in cannabis.
THC is sticky and removing spores on thc is extremly difficult. Even if you going to make it rosin then it still can contain spores.
Thats why people afraid and saying "throw it away"

Yes! Throwing away your 4-5 months product is a pain! So I'm not going to do that for really really small amount of powdery mildew just started yet!

I'm decided on doing these steps:
1- h2o2 bath.
2- Clean water bath "low PPM"
3- Baking soda bath.
4- Clean water bath. "low PPM"
5- Hang them to dry 20C - RH: %35-40

After that atleast we removed most of the mildews but there will be still their spores After the drying I have few way to make it more safer!

1- Making rosin this cleaned buds will be safer then smoking it directly. High heat and pressure can destroy spores and maybe toxicity. (I think)
2- With alcohol, spores have no chance! But with alcohol buds will be damaged and thc-cbd will melt in the alcohol aswell. But we can make it oil!
3- Bubble hash or etc give your opinion..

After these steps there will be no more molds, spores or etc! If you still think that the spores will survive we should give them the fucking world and leave it.
BUT they can be still toxic right??? I'm not sure and I'm after it. (hold on)
Please give your opinion without saying CANT, DONT, WONT, SHOULDNT.
I'm just after valuable information and constructiveness.

Spray with milk rinse then dip in peroxide, then make edibles, don't smoke that shit

You dried your weed in front of a fucking fan ... in 2-4 days .. and you say the shit is good .. yet there is mold on it ... and it fucking DRIED in 2-4 DAYS ?

Dude. The proper way to do this shit is like 7-10 days min you expressed dried it and still got mold somehow ... I dont even know how that is possible but you did it my friend ! Either wash that shit in a mixture of H202 and H20 or throw it out .. I would throw it out. I swear these dudes dont pay attention during the grow .. get mold everywhere and then ask .. I cant throw it out ! I nEEEEEEd it! all that time wasted ! No shit dude .. you have MOLD on it ... think real quick .. how after a 2-4 day express shit show of a dry .. did I still get mold lol ?!?!?

Trash it start over. Your health is not worth it.

The botrytis was there while it flowered and had nothing to do with the fast dry.
Not pm..........again you Fuck up the basic issue and your"solution"has Jack shit to do with anything.
Forget the plant you should start with some basic reading and comprehension skills.

More stooopod...........milk and peroxide on cannabis flower.

Make a salad

1. Not a masterpiece.
2. Smoking botrytis: Mold when inhaled, this fungus can cause an allergic reaction and acute respiratory problems. These problems may be worse in those who have weakened immune systems, are prone to autoimmune diseases, or are generally sensitive to environmental allergens.

I had bugs, was recommended this. Five gallon pail, dunked the weed, two more buckets of straight water rince, one after the other. Dried it on a rail with a fan blowing, it was dry in here though around 20% RH. Went though my bud with magnifying headset, picked out every last tiny bug. That reminds me, have to burp them. No longer pretty looking bus but bits and pieces that need to be broken up to smoke. In my case vaporize.
