MOLD= BAD

not when you consider the possobilities of mold or fungis

besides your missing the point, im not debating going for mold vs no mold.
I stated a hypothesis based on that mold and fungis is natures way of decomposing matter to simpler elements.

to use another lame example, think how milk is aged and made into yogurt and cheese, with controlled amounts of bacteria and fungis.

anyway just thinking hypotheticly here.

Well you know mold is fungus, rather than bacteria.

Right, people talk of the 'hay' odor.
The wetness isn't breaking down, it's just being allowed to evaporate. The CHLOROPHYLL is actually breaking down during curing.

Okay, but this is kind of a stretch. Plants are much simpler organisms with different self-repair mechanisms to begin with. They can't typically recover from viruses or poisoning the way higher life forms can.
Besides which, the bud is DEAD matter. It is not uptaking nutrients needed to repair itself, so even if a living plant had the capacity to develop immunities, the cut bud wouldn't. In plants and lower life forms, immunity to a disease is more likely to be a genetic mutation that is then passed down to any offspring that survive an outbreak of that disease. Some strains of cannabis are naturally very resistant to fungal attacks, simply because it is in their genetics.

The mold itself is consuming the dead plant matter. That's it, end of story, don't smoke moldy bud. And the moisture doesn't come back, the curing process just spreads whatever residual moisture is deep within the bud evenly throughout the bud.
