Adding moisture = mold?

[Mono]

I heard to add moisture to a bud, you put it in with a piece of bread or carrot. i tried this overnight with a tiny bud and moisture was added.

the thing is that the bud was already really crystally before (its blueberry kush) so i was wondering how can i tell if mold is growing? i was told earlier today by a friend that the bud can get moldy when put in with bread or carrots.

Don't leave anything in with your bud for more than a few hours and you should be fine.

Also, make sure you store your bud in a dry place (in a jar, etc).

how can you tell if theres mold? there is alot of crystals on the bud, so is there any way to tell the difference?

It will start smelling different and you might be able to see some whitish hazy spots that look like mold.

It's probably fine. If in doubt, if you have any tea tree oil, put a drop or two on your bud and give it a day or two to absorb (tea tree oil is a powerful fungicide). You may not like the flavor it imparts though.

It's probably fine, so just use it soon. The key indication of mold is that the bud looks substantially different than it did before. Use your gut judgement.
