water curing gets rid of a lot of stuff. I really like what the outcome is, but I'm not sure what it would do to the toprot. Honestly give it a try it might do the trick. I mean it's ruined right now so you can't lose.

really shouldnt smoke it but as long as you cut all the mold off, more importantly you need to dry your bud more before jaring and need to air out more often to avoid it

It wont kill you i bet plenty of people have smoke salvaged weed. Im just saying you shouldnt smoke it because there's garunted to be un germinated mold spores on the rest of your bud but like i said it wont kill ya unless you'r immune system is compromised even then prolly just fuck with you'r lungs

I'm with Acidbox, Dry until the stem just below a nug breaks not bends. Then jar.

aftermath.. oke so i watercured about a fourth of my harvest and honestly its shitty... not gonna lie about it,
colour changed and it smels like old people.. gues u can smoke, mold taste is gone though.. the rest i let it dry
a lot longer than i usualy did and i gues i saved it, looks alright until now, there's still a little moldy aftertaste
but the high is nice.. btw the strain in question was kalashnikova from ghs, ive seen a lot of posts of people
having mold problems with this strain.. gues that might be something to consider if you even want to grow
it.. annyway thanx for the feedback, and moral of the story.. when u got realy realy bad mold infected buds
u can watercure to save them but dont expect your buds to come out the same way they went in..

Wish I had seen this sooner...
Dry ice.
Put a coffee filter or rag over the jar and set a chunk of dry ice over the mouth so the co2 sinks into the jar as it evaporates.

Edit: if you keep having mold issues you can use co2 at any time during curing to help prevent it. It's a good practice for those who can't remove enough humidity from their jars.

if you look futher up this page i explain to thoughs whoam may not know the water cure method.the only downside is that the weeds bag smell will be a little diminished by the water cure,also it will turn most wed darker.

simply place completely dried weed in luke warm water for about 10 minutes,then gently squeeze out the water and let dry over night on paper towels(it will dry very quickly).it will taste and smell a little bit milder,but it does not hurt potentcy as thc is not water soluable,but tar is.the weed will be low tar weed and smoke much smoother.it will dry out a bit darker also,but hey it will have been salvaged from the mold. happy trails
