Moldy Sour Diesel

well how else would u identify if its mold or not

PLEASE give us some ADVICE on how to be CERTAIN if its mold or not other than it being black or any other disgusting color

Though I agree with LIP's sentiment in the above response, I will give you a somewhat (only somewhat, as I have never had first hand experience with it) more informative answer.

Trichromes, which are what are in that picture, are little resin glands on the bud, and produce little white hairy/crystally things. They are not intertwined or webby looking, because they are short and stubby and not stringy at all.

Mold, on the other hand, looks somewhat like spider-webs. The little hairs would intertwine and kind of make a net over the bud, more messy looking then trichromes.

Zoom in on pictures if you can't tell, and you'll be able to see if they are trichs, aka resin glands coming from the bud, or mold, aka a net on top of the bud.

Examples of both:

Moldy: http://aycu18.webshots.com/image/745...4404836_rs.jpg Look mainly at the two ends of the bud, obvious molding by the stem and at the tip of the bud.

And yes, mold can seriously hurt you. It is a fungus and should not be in your lungs at all, it introduces serious risk for bacterial and other types of infections. NOT a good idea.

U cant possibly believe that one toke of mold would make your lungs suddenly turn black and u die instantly. hell no

since no one here is certain what this is on his weed (which i doubt is anything) u should do trial and error, take a small hit or two and if it tastes nasty or sumthin u know what it is and u know what to look for the next time u see this shit on ure weed..he obviously has never seen this before or he has never had such wonderful dank..o well just my 2cents

That's a pathetic reply little boy.

I didnt say one toke would kill you did i? No. So why be so childish?

If you want to smoke mold and end up in hospital with god knows what wrong with you, by all means do it. Maybe you'd learn not to be so stupid.

And if you cant tell the differnce between trichomes and mold, you shouldnt have started smoking.

lol that weed is fine...

[Little Boy]

dude...I had that same shit last week...for SURE mold! Highly toxic!

my advice is that you just mail it to me so I can dispose of it safely.

ssry I'm new to the whole mold thing. How would mold end up on the bud. Would it be because it was exposed to dry air too long and not sealed tight?

Mold most certainly does NOT come from being overly dry, lol. And airtightness can worsen a case of mold already forming...

Mold can be transmitted through airborne spores. It can get on any organic matter and start a colony, and weed is most certainly organic.

Humidity and warmer temperatures foster the mold, so if the weed has gotten wet or was stored before it was fully dry there could easily be a mold colony forming. Especially when the weed is stored in an airtight container, if mold has the opportunity to form, it will.

Wet weed + airtight container = mold

Now, don't get me wrong, airtight containers are not bad, unless you have moist weed that you want to make sure doesn't mold.
