Hi, I've read through aot of the posts but I am having trouble determining if my crop is okay to smoke. It's super lemon haze, it's been harvested and cured. Been sitting in jars a about 6 weeks while I decide what to do

1 if 2 plants did show a little mildew. Cut it away. Kept a close watch but didn't see any more spots. At harvest we saw no white spots but the buds were so milky I just am not sure. I did see a puff of white during a couple of snips of branches so that concerned me.


6 jars, they smell good. Lots of crystals but is there mildew lurking under that crystally goodness? Is it too late to treat or wash? Here are a couple pics through a loupe

Looks similar to what I have in my hands rite here, this is not mold.
Mold is fluffier and a bit mor fibrous.

Break it open, if the center and stem is a fluffy brown fibrous substance that would be mold,
Kind of like a brown powder you can wipe away.
And it will have a slight mildew smell to it.

Those sugar leaves are not moldy,

Thanks for the quick response! I see some under the loupe that seem more fibrous but hard to get a pic, these may show a little more.

As 1diesel1 said, i dont see anything that screams mold or mildew, looks like hairs to me as well. But as he already said, mold grows from inside, out so if you really want to know you have to bust a bud apart.

Next time you dry, try to shoot for 60f/60rh for 10-14 days. Youll be surprised.

Yes, did treat it. First potassium carbonate then switched to crop defender. I saw no mildew on the leaves at all at harvest. Most of the buds look okay but I'm finding it hard to tell. Lots of mushroom looking trichomes but then here and there some of the white looks more fibrous. Hard to see under all the trichomes so I've been hesitant to try it

Nothing puffs out or looks off when I just it open. Just under the loupe I think I see some fuzzy

Upon another look, it looks like photo 2 in post 8 might have some PM on the leaves.
