Mold On Cured Bud

Irish063 · Jul 18, 2017

I was going through some of my stuff and found mold on some of the bud in one of the jars. They got really warmed up a few months ago when I had my hps light in the closet with them. (I forgot they were in there). I'm assuming that's what caused the mold.

Is there anything I can do or do I need to just toss it? It's not on all of it but since mold is spores will there be some on all of it?
Did a quick search but didn't find much.

Thanks for any help

I wouldn't risk it. I've had to throw a couple jars out due to the same thing. Make sure you really wash your jars well before reusing them. Yes, once the spores are agitated they spread very easily.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Damn that sucks. I don't smoke a ton but I hate to throw that much away.

Make water hash, that will separate the mold. its safe.
That also tells you that you still had moisture in your drying technique.

I would make some nug run oils

RSO oil. Spores will not survive the alcohol soak.

Ok. Your saying make RSO Oil from them not spray them with it correct?

I was just wondering about spaying with Isopropyl alcohol and letting it evaporate like you would if there was bud rot in flower?

There's only mold on a little bit of the bud in each of the 4 jars but the total amount in the jars is probably 8 oz.

Is ec quick wash a product or a procedure? I didn't see much on searching here or google. Couldn't think of what EC could have stood for.

lol its 99% alcohol, theres no such thing as 140%

and because alcohol is hydrophilic it will never exceed 99%.

Ever clear is 190 proof and tastes like fire.

Thanks. Never would have thought of that combo for "ec"

I think he was thinking of the proof rating at 140%. Wild turkey 151 is around there but like @1diesel1 stated below everclear is proofed higher.

yah sorry ev is 95% alc and proof is 190

Irish063 · Jul 20, 2017

What exactly am I doing in a quick wash. Just dunking it and then letting it dry so the alcohol evaporates? After doing some reading I see that ISO can have some lead or other impurities in it so it seems like ever clear is the better choice.

Get 30-40% h2o2 from beauty supply. Dilute ~ 1: 5 dunk the buds, shake them off, let them dry. Repeat at least once

Do you think the peroxide will work better than ever clear?
