Mold....

[Purple Daddy]

But boy do I know that stressed out feeling trying to do everything you can, running around like a headless chicken>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm smoking some right now, buzz is fine but every time I smoke some of this I'll wonder "what could have been".

I've harvested about 4 lbs +/- so far this week with three more plants on the way(including the nicest one of the bunch) over the next month. Fortunately I ended up with enough female plants I had some margin of error to work with however I'd rather everything had gone perfect! If I had gone to bed I'd have thrown away a good half lb at least.

I've been using my vaporizer so the taste is kind of a non factor.

hello....daddy......well I am glad you were able to save some of your bud.....I know that feeling.....happens all the time...........Now that you have gone through it once....you will be prepared next time.....the easy way to deal when finding mold is to use drying racks....just detail the buds....cut off any and all mold...put on racks....and make sure you have air movement.....NOT blowing right on the buds.....just air moving inside your drying room......your buds will dry evenly and dry slow......you are in the same area as I am.....they should dry in 5 days....if detailed correctly.....and be ready for jars.

To all the brokers....who happen to be reading this post.......Growing is Easy...LOL....see the stress.......we go through......take 4 months to grow and a few day can ruin the whole crop......To you its just a unit.....to us.....it's our hard work.

Good luck on the rest of your harvest PD

Thanks Weeddaddy, I still have three more to harvest so I'm pretty sure I won't make that mistake twice. The room was 78-80 degrees so I didn't think the mold would develop but I think overnight it got just cool enough. It wasn't like all the buds molded but I found a few large ones with it and probably over reacted but I just couldn't take the chance. Watering right before harvest was a mistake, I think I'll let them go two days without water before harvesting the next plants.

FWIW I've been testing this bud for a couple of days now and aside from the smell and taste the buzz is pretty damn good. I put it in jars a few days ago and vent them once a day, it seems to actually be developing a bit of an aroma and taste now.

It like the race.....your the turtle.....slow and steady......wins the race.......you know the story.....two bulls on a a hill top looking down on all those cows....the younger bulls says.....hey lets run down there a bone one of the cows.....the old bull....lets walk down there and bone them ALL.....

Good luck.....cooler this weekend....warming up next week.....
