Mold like web on finished buds, any ideas?

[steezyd]

A friend of mine had this on his finishing skywalker buds, almost looks like a mold/web on it, it also rots out the middle of the buds and they have seeds in them...never seen anything like it myself, any ideas?[attachment=o278858]

any ideas?

Bag it up and toss it in the trash....call it a loss....

If you consume any part of that in any way shape or form, you're just asking to get sick....

Would you consume molded over fruit??? Or any part of it???

Thats a shame to see. I almost had a similar problem with a few plants, I caught it just in time but had to quick dry the rest of the plant so it would not spread. If I had gone to bed and waited until the next morning I'm 100% sure they would have looked like these do. The mold develops from the inside.

Were these still on the plant or curing when they molded?

I honestly don't know how long they've been like that, they definably threw away all the infected areas including the one in the pic, out of 2lbs or more I say only half to a full ounce were infected...Idk know if it started while they were hanging or a couple weeks prior...I knew it wasnt PM, was just curious if it was regular mold.

Looking at the pic again it looks like they had already trimmed the buds so more then likely it molded in storage.

Its not mold. Its spider mites. If you want you can dip the buds in water to kill the spider mites and wash them off then redry and it should be smokable. tell your friend to bug bomb his grow and hang a HotShot in his grow room for a couple weeks.

No, it is not Spider-mite webbing.
I see no signs of S.M. damage on that bud.

Look closer KW.
That's a mold bloom.

That bud was not properly dried.
They were wise to discard it.

Aloha,

damm that sucks i guess hedidnt dryed it right.

I know he hanged them in his grow room with all the fans off except the a/c, I personally would have put a board or something in front of the a/c so there's no direct air on them...maybe that combined with slightly higher humidity(60-65%) did it.

[Purple Daddy]

The direct air would help prevent mold and speed up the drying process, AC actually removes humidity. It looks like the mold occured in storage so it probably wasn't dried out enough. If it had molded on the branch they wouldn't have bothered trimming it.
