mouldy bud

[steve.442]

can you use vary slightly mouldy bud in a ice-o-later or bubble bag to extract the resin glands. please only anser if you are certain if the anser is yes.

[ukmonkey]

wouldn't advise it, give us a nice bright high res snap of the mouldy gear on a white sheet of paper.

Please only answer if the answer is yes? Why even ask the question?

OK yes. enjoy your mould spores as there are smaller than resin glands.

Sorry I know it's hard. You will save yourself some bad time though. I have smoked mouldy buds and the spores still get in your lungs. Man it can take months to get rid of a cough if not worse. Try telling your doctor why you can't quit coughing and have some flu like symtoms for months. It took me a while to figure out what did it to me. Then you can't hardly smoke any good stuff for the cough. Wish I knew a way to process it to get rid of mould.

I would suspect that if there WERE a way to process mouldy bud for use, it would be in solvent extraction.
I would want to know a lot about the toxicity and solubility of substances in mold spores before trying this though, and it's outside my milieu.

Yes there are ways. The only certain way is to make Butane hash, which is one of the best ways to do it anyways. This produces a wonderful hash oil (honey oil) that can range in potency and color and can be even further refined by boiling off any remaining moisture. This is really the only way to use moldy bud safely.

However, you can use bubble bags fairly well. The process is pretty much business as usual, however you can let the bags sit a little longer and the mold/mildew is lighter then THC and it will float to the top of the water, where the crystals float to the bottom. You can then skim this nasty film off the top of the water and finish the bubble bags like normal. Mold spores may be smaller then thc heads, but they also should be filtered through the various grades. I dont smoke the 25 grade anyways and I dont smoke anything higher then a 120. Im not saying its 100%, but Ive been doing it for a bit and I am ok with it because I have a process that works for me.

it IS hard dumping your hard work isn't it? Better safe than sorry.....live healthy to grow another day. ;)

OK yes. enjoy your mould spores as there are smaller than resin glands.

But... if they are smaller, couldn't you wash them through the final filter?

PC :stoned:

[twoguysupnorth]

again i have to refer to high times or CC about this but they said yes, you can do this. thats what i thought, the mold will float so it really doesnt end up in your product.i have never done it though so draw your own conclusions.

Find out if mould is alchohol soluable. Or if it can be washed off with water. If water will wash it then it can be cleaned. THC is only soluable by alcohol. You may have a good chance yet to save it. Seems like it could be washed with water since that's what mould needs to grow.
Wash those buds good with cold water it will not hurt them. Hell there is a water cure for buds . Do a search. Sorry if I jumped the gun.
