all help appriciated!!
also if it is could i put it in the microwave or oven to get rid of it?
I see the start of some mold. I see some small weblike webs zooming up on the weed. The mold hasn't hit full yet, so smoking it should be okay.
Just to cautious though, carefull snip off and remove the effected areas and throw it away. Like I said, the mold hasn't grown full on yet, and there isn't a whole lot on there, so you won't lose much if you remove it.
Good luck!
which parts are the mould the little green ball'y things?
should i microwave it to be safe, im just not sure which partsd are mould theres like white fuzzyness a little then those wierd gr4een balls on the end of sticks....
Open your picture, zoom in as close as you can, and carefully look at the big bud front and center. You can see, barely see, little webs, like spider webs. It's there, but just barely.
Microwaving it will not make the mold go away. The only way to get rid of the little web effected parts, is to cut it off and throw it away. Microwaving your buds will just vape away the THC and make your smoke even worse. Cut it off, throw the effected pieces away, then smoke.
Smoking mold can give you severe lung infections and is even deadly.
sorry mate im a complete noob with all this, is the area ive circled on this pic the area you mean? its jsut theres like white fluff and the wierd like green balls so i want to be sure i take off all the right stuff
thanks though

soz im just a noob wanting to be safe/not throw it away though
Nope, not that part. Those are the trichomes, the THC goodness. I circles the areas in black (picture below). You can just see something that looks like a spider web. That, is the start of mold, remove it. There isn't much of it, but the stuff spreads like wildfire and can ravish your whole crop in about 24hrs.Quote:

Wait, just hold on a second. Let me look at the 2 other pictures you posted. I may have been wrong......
awesome thank you! so should i just pull that area off and throw or scrape it off or burn it off? not sure how to go about it
After looking closely at the other pics you attached, I believe that that bud is ravaged in white mold. At first, I thought it was heavy trich production, but it does look like a white fuzz. :(
You can try cutting off the bud part where the mold is and see how it looks after you cut it off. If the mold has infested itself inside of the bud, then I'm sorry to say, it is useless and not smokeable. Like I said, you can get seriously ill or is even fatal if smoked.
Don't cut it off quite yet though. I want to see what other members here think of all of this, but I am 90% sure that is moldy fuzz on there.
ANY INPUT FROM OTHER MEMBERS WOULD REALLY HELP THIS PERSON OUT. :)
hi all,
I was just in the recreational forum trying to help a person out figuring out if his buds are moldy or not. I'm having a hard time figuring it out, but look below at the posters 2 attached pictures for a better idea. I just don't want to steer them in the wrong direction. Just a quick look and reply would help both of us out.

Thanks people! :thumbsup:
yeah please help me out, im still confused as to which is mould and what isnt, the things you thought were trich's, theres a very smal patch of those further down which look white instead of green.... thats what worries me about them
please help!!
Now I've gone and confused you. :p Sorry about that bro.
I posted in the lounge a link to here to get other members to come in and have a look. I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction here, so hopefully someone will give some more insight.
The webs are the start of mold, and all that white stuff, I'm pretty sure, is the full on mold. Someone will come by soon and answer your question.
Sorry to confuse you and all. :o
Bump!
My first reaction to those pictures is YES...def looks like something funky there...i've seen mold on weed and it does look like that...Yucky!! I wonder if you trip or something if you smoke it...
That area where you circled is pretty moldy, where it's blueish.
Man that sucks, considering it's a nice looking bud.
yea dude it looks like youve got a bad mould problem. i wouldnt smoke it
Good to see some others came by and replied. JR77 replied in the thread I posted, he said mold as well. Here's the link if you're interested in reading (threadstarter)

so theres no way i could salvage it/cook with it or anything like that??
Break it up and see if the mold spread inside the bud. Perhaps you can salvage a few pieces.
okay heres what i would do. carefully snip off allll the areas with mold.. and save only the bits that you are CERTAIN dont have any mold growing. do your best to not shake the buds too much or spread the spores with your hand either. once you've got all the mold free bud, i would let it sit a day just to be sure no mold starts so appear on that.
thing is im so confused as to which parts actually are the mould and which parts are jsut crystals, which parts are which?
i had a smaller piece which ive puled apart and the indide of that looks ok but im just not certain what im looking for
hmm when i broke the main bud up ot was almnost like a whisp of smoke coming off it so im guessing those are spores?
Yeah, those are almost definitely mold spores that you saw. I know it seems like a horrible waste but I'd just throw it away, it's not worth risking your health for a few tokes. Sorry man.
ivw now pulled it all apart and moved the parts i thought were worst away, ie the green/blue spore looking things and the white spore looking things and now it justl ooks like normnal weed id get from the dealer .... it jsut seems like a massive waste, so any more help would be appriciated
ive never dealt with mold so im not sure what to do, or how it looks but that weed does look weird.. if you really need to smoke and cant get any other bud, then id say if your really sure that its mold free smoke it.. but make sure your really sure..
wow at first glance I was like dude that is called BUD! but wow this lung mold stuff is trippin me out.
I don't remember who suggested it, but I would follow the advice of leaving it alone now that you cut what you think was mold off. Leave it sit for a few day's and see if you notice more mold growing on it. It is better to be out a little money than have to make a trip to the emergency room. I would take the better safe than sorry route on this one. Watch it for a few day's and if it doesn't look like any more mold has grown and you feel comfortable smoking it go ahead and try. I haven't had any experience with mold either, but that is the way I would handle it.
nah man thats just crystalisation its good
It looks like mold, does it smell funky like mold?. IDk dont feel to bad if you have to toss it. I had to toss a ounce one time because of mold.
Deffinately mold. You can try and salvage it... but personally I'd just throw it out.
Mold + Lung
= infection
=Hostpital/shitty anti-biotics
Cut your losses. It happens, alot. Shit, will always happen. Just can't let it phaze you.
yea unforutnately mold is pretty nasty just chuck it in the trash
health is priceless.
hey guys i broke it apart before i went to bed and left it on some toiletroll, this mornig theres no new mould and it just looks like normal weed.... wouldit be smokable? its just alot of money i dont have to throw down the drain..literally
Mold.
dude check it out, i doubt youve got mold on it, ive studied the pictures and to me personally it looks like 100% thc,i grow master kush in my home and when you start getting up towards the kola, you see really thick thc which could really resemble mold. my profession (botanist, hah imagine that) has taught me a few things that i can pass onto you so youll know for sure. mold is usually not green, the only green mold pretty much is the mold that grow on bread from the ageing yeast. now the kindve mold your talking about would have come from moisture and it takes ALOT of moisture to grow mold and moisture mold is usually black-ish, also mold grows ten times its size in 24 hours so look at a spot on the bud take a picture and after 24 hours take another picture from the same angle if the spot are the same size ...than its not mold. but the best way is the smell. smell the bud and if it smells like clothes that you left in the washer for too long than your fucked, but if not smoke away. i hope ive helped...peace
when i first got the bud it was really really sticky, like it actually stuck to the cling film it was in, the thing that worrys me the most are the green like balls i circled red in the pics and the fact there were white/cream ones too ... why wud hteybe diff colours if it wasnt mould, and they werent there when i first got it
give me a second i will look harder and post my results :)
thanks, so basically i got the weed, took some off to smoke put the rest in a jiffy/sandwich bag and then my girlfriend put that in a draw, we took it out last ight whiuc hwas a week since it was in there as my friend is coming through to visit today and it lookedl ike the pics ive posted, i dont have any pics of it when i originally got it as i deleted thenm off my pc after showing a mate, but he may have a copy on his pc...but isnt online :(
like i say i pulled it apart and threw about half away, then i put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds but still havent smoked any...
the thing im worried about is even when i get a cold i get uber fleghmmy so if it actually gave me an infection id be fucked!
oh and could you describe the smell a bit more, when i got it out last night and smelt it it just smelt like normal weed, but perhaps not as strong -a - smell as before it was put in the bag
