Not that I'm making concentrates or anything. But decarbing would kill mold right? Then you could make oil or tincture with it right?
Or not fucking ever?
It will kill the mold spore, but certain molds leave behind nasty mycotoxins that are not affected by heat.
More specifically, the type of mold that forms on already dried flowers is more prone to being toxic whereas powdery mildew is merely an allergen and relatively safe for the vast majority of people. Again, PM will not continue to spread on dead plant material.

ive disposed of some sweet weed from mould and had to go without untill the next crop was ready.
If you smoke moldy weed, you might experience symptoms like coughing, nausea, and vomiting, which are more unpleasant than dangerous. But if you're allergic to mold, you could end up with inflammation of your sinuses or lungs and symptoms like: sinus pain. drainage.

What happens if you smoke moldy weed? When you smoke moldy weed, you inhale the fungus directly into your lungs. Those with compromised immune systems are at risk of developing a lung infection. Smoking moldy weed is also dangerous for those with allergies to mold-based antibiotics such as penicillin

so be carefull who you share it with if there imune system is compomised, i say this because i share a smoke with someone with a compromised imune system and has to treat there body like a temple

I cried as I poured a gallon of 90% ISO on this before trashing in the curb container. Air quality is bad enough. And doing anything to make it worse.

true dat. never worth the risk in my opinion. there are only two cannabis related deathes, it was a couple with compramsed imune systems smokeing mouldy bud, the spores braught on an infection that killed them both.
but then again, before any of this info about chemicals being smoked with the weed being bad for you and back in the day there was some nsasty shit put on weed to stop bugs n such from decimating your crops and plants full of nutrients also was bad for you

Hi guys when I cracked one of my buds open I got like a weird puff of smoke come out of the Bud. It's not in all of my plants. It's Just some of the bigger buds. Is it powdery mildew? I must of smoked about 1 ounce and I have only just noticed it on this new pheno type I am smoking with fatter nugs. I think Because I had so many plants in my grow room, about 10 plants in a 1 meter grow room I got the start of powdery mildew? like, maybe in week 8 of flowering I could of got the start of powdery mildew and didn't notice it just before I harvested? My buds are caked in THC, it's in house genetics those strains are always really frosty, it smells really nice weed and I don't see any mould. I'm just paranoid that powdery mildew could be inside the buds??
@Autofire. Is this what happens when the thc gets unlocked ?
