Urgent help needed in identifying/dealing with mould

[GreyKid]

Afternoon ladies and gents,

Yesterday I obtained a one ounce of fairly moist dank. It was so pungently strong that it stunk up my whole car even while in a zip-lock bag.

However, upon closer inspection at home I noticed a strange white growth. Not all over the bud, rather specks of white which are clearly visible. Some white specks are as big as grains of sand, some are slightly larger.

I called the guy I obtained it from and he tells me he has 'somewhat the same'. Then again, he puts it down to the strain of bud which he promises me is very potent.

My questions are:

- How can I tell if this is mould? It doesn't smell like mould, and infact is some of the strongest smelling MJ I've ever had.

- I can't tell if these are just milky trichomes or mould. To me, they appear as distinctly white dots, sparsely scattered around the bud.

- If it is mould, then what can I do to salvage it? I've heard of water curing it? Does this mean washing it and then drying it again?

- Is it possible to have strains of MJ with sparse dots of white over the bud?

Any advice or experience would be much appreciated.

Well... once i did read an interesting thing at wikipedia... dont know if its useful for you... anyway:

Damping off - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Damping off can be prevented in many different ways, including germination in dryer conditions with better air circulation (but this slows germination), starting seedlings in sterilized soil, and/or spraying the soil with an anti-fungal known to work for this purpose, either a commercial one or a homemade solution, such as one made from chamomile tea or garlic. Similarly, ground cinnamon may be sprinkled on the soil to ward off the fungus.

Matricaria recutita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chamomile tea is also thought to be useful to suppress fungal growth, for example, misting it over seedlings may prevent damping off.
