Curing

I MUST BE MISSING THE REAL QUESTION HERE.

MOLD IS BAD.

ANY "LITTLE" BIT IS BAD.

MOLD CAN MAKE YOU VERY FRIGGIN' SICK, AND DIE

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.

apologies didnt mean multi post. I posted in the wrong forum at first, ill stick with this thread. .

Cool beans.

Anyway its established a little aerobic bacteria helps the process at first, so im wondering if that applies to a mold..

Well you know mold is fungus, rather than bacteria.

Ive seen it mentioned when starting a cure, while the plant is braking down some wetness comes back and there can be a smell of vegetive deterioration..

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.

Consider a flu-shot which contains antibodies and also a variety of germs. What does that do? speeds up your tolerance for germs in the future. Or when someone is biten by a snake, there given a medicine of anti-bodies that is mixed with venom itself. .

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.

Thats the vein my question is in. wondering if part of what makes a cure, since some moisture come back, is that a teeny tiny bit of mold even *if you cant detect it* works like a flu shot by creating resiliance.

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.
