I wouldnt have dont that
If you think it may be mold you need to separate it from the rest of the buds. Also, if there's a chance of mold and you've got it drying you may want to add some heat and light for a couple of days. You may sacrifice potency and some smoothness but its better than losing everything to mold if there's a chance of it.
I vote no based on these photos. I think your ladies are very pretty. Keep up the good work.
Trim all your fan leaves and get rid of the large leaves from the flowers. Less foliage will make it dry faster and remove vectors for infection.Quote:

Since I changed grow spots I've barely had any. When I used tohave a big problem with it fungicides helped. It doesn't go away, but new shoots are healthy. If you got it in flowering what's done is done really. Smoking it still does the trick, but I wouldn't smoke it. I wondered if it also might be a mutation. The seeds that came from it grew out with the same wrinkly, twisted leaves and purple patches.
watch out for caterpillars too, they will get in between buds on colas and eat/shit and the top will be destroyed. I have lost 1/2 of 3 tops already, but I killed the culprits
