I can tend to be a paranoid individual, but I'm having a really hard time telling if my SinMints have mold or are just frosty beyond anything I've seen before. When you crack open these freshly dried buds, it makes like a crystalline powder. You can just tap the buds and the sparkly powder will rain down. Almost like glass dust. It falls pretty quickly too, like it's kind of heavy. I was sure it was mold, but they smell delicious and otherwise have no other signs. I can wipe the powder up in a pile and they all stick together, like hash would. It will roll into a little jelly ball if you gather enough.
Pictured is a clone of this plant. I have already cured and smoked one prior. The first one definitely had fuzzy mold growing deep in the tight buds up top. It was easy to spot the bad spots and I threw the top colas away. But the rest of the plant had the "dust" and I've been smoking it for a while now and feel fine. This clone did not have any fuzzy mold anywhere, I was sure to get the humidity lowered this round. But it still has the dust and I fear spores from the original. None of the other strains I've grown with this have any symptoms.
Has anyone seen this before with this strain? Hope these dull cell phone pics can help explain. May need a microscope.
