Ok so i finished my first grow a little ofver a week before xmas. I Got just over 8 ounces from 2 plants and after the majority of the drying out was done i tossed them into Kilner Jars.

I regularly burped them every day, until i forgot to over the past few days and now have got what looks like small white spores in 2 of my jars which i only assume to be mould!!!! :finger:

Is there anything tht i can do salvage this, is some mould ( i.e white as oppose to black) less harmful than others. I've heard best thing to do is make bubble hash, will this remove it. I would say an ounce and a half is going to waste if i dont come up with a solution :(

some pics would help it might just be some premature seedlings coming out during the drying period. I saw little white balls of matter before and thought it was mold, but it was just seedlings popping out of the pod and over the buds. Pics would help a lot nice harvest btw what lights were you using?

best thing is to get those buds out of the jars, air drying will arrest the mold growth
hopefully, the mold has affected only a few buds, but i think your cure is done

one blue envirolight for 8 weeks veg then a 600 w hps ( second hand)

Pics are hard as im using camcorder photo option than a good camera but the best way i can describe it is like spots of white fluff. when you look close its like a fine white web.

fine white web is mold, sorry to hear that, i've lost a bit to mold in my last cure
just brush off the wisps with a brush, supposedly a vaporizer is pretty safe to use with bud that has been touched with a little mold

Would it not be safe to smoke unless its a vapourizer? I've read bubble hash is a good way of bypassing mould but unsure how this method removes it?

pretty involved topic, got real interested when mold bit me
many types of mold, white varieties are(usually) the less bad
be wary of dark molded bud
any product made from it is going to have some of the spores
on the other hand, all weed contains spores, unless it had been grown in sterile environment
bag weeds usually have a nice, high mold spore count
unless you're immune compromised, probably won't be a problem, that and the bud was touched with mold, not half rotted with it
but bubble might be a good way of getting rid of many spores, didn't read up on bubble and mold

AP dont smoke it,its very very bad for your lungs. Find out how bubble hash is made or throw it away like I did.

Don't throw it awy Agent, check my thread Headband and OG Kush grow, I made hash out of a half ounce of moldy bud. Will drop by your journal and explain further.
