Does this look like mold to you? Never seen anything like it.

Looks like the old brown shit that we got out of the bricks.

I just read use ur phone flash light to break that bud open if nothing is floating up in air ur ? Ok, if there is matter floating up around its mold spores.

Ur chasing nothing here until u break up that bud .

Would u mind circling the spot for me that you thinks dry bud rot? If it’s the same spot I’m concerned about, I cracked the bud and nothing looked off on the inside.

Everything I’m concerned about has been on the surface of the buds, it has me concerned there’s like some surface mold. I circled the area that’s freaking me out in white, and the blue circles are around the blob/balls on the plant that kinda looks like a trichome, but really doesn’t.

That's the spot.

Was it in a jar when received. Could have been moisture/condensation, and a bud tight to the glass.

Are all the buds this way

Here's a dry bud, with rot. Pulled from a jar given to me by my neighbor.

think I found my culprit. Does the bud rot side have like tiny balls that almost look like fat trichome head?

Yeah if you pry the bud open along the stalk and it’s funky looking inside toss it. Then rub any spots that you think look odd and it crumbles into powder with little resistance toss it.

Thanks! Yeah I was able to get some buds under jewelers loupe, I feel like it’s dirt stuck to trichomes. I’m able to poke it off with a sewing needle

Make edibles out of it??
My understanding is that decarb will make the mold harmless if eaten but not if smoked. I could be wrong believe it or not

I just don't keep anything with mold. That said, I will do a peroxide wash if I have a light case of PM. Botrytis however goes in the garbage no matter. First year I grew I didn't know anything about mold and I made budder. It upset my stomach and looking back it may have had bud rot.
