make budda with the moldy buds!!!
Really? I don't think cooking with moldy ingredients is a great idea. I wouldn't use moldy food to cook with and I wouldn't use moldy bud ether. Now, I'll admit, I have done ZERO research on how cooking temps effect mold (i.e. Do high temps kill mold). Still, even if 100 sceintists told me it was safe, I'd still be too nervous about it. NOT criticizing or saying you're wrong. That's just me.

I have disposed of it at this point, too bad there isn't a good use for it other than trashing it. I'm glad I overgrew because I still have enough to do whatever I need or want with what I salvaged.

Finally, jarred everything today for storage. I packed pint jars with an ounce of buds in each for a total of 20 jars. I also grinded what was left over, about 1/2-3/4 ounce of each for immediate smoking. There is a full moon this week (the 15th) so I plan to have a moonlight smokeout this weekend.

I've heard the same, never cook, smoke or do ANYTHING with moldy buds...but like has been said, that's just what I HEARD, I have no experience with moldy buds, I live in a super dry climate, we don't get a lot of mold :-P

I didn't know what kind of mold forms on MJ. I use mold from the air for different things that I consume, the key is attracting the right mold for your needs. All mold is not bad for your health, some are good. With one more "good" or decent harvest and I should have enough to bake and cook with for a MJ edible tasting party.

It is now my goal to never have moldy buds again. Future harvests will be well attended to, so if mold does start I'll catch it early and nip it in the bud:lol:

You have 20 ounces of bud? Awesome! You rock, MsBBB!

Remember that we are talking about 9 nice sized plants (40-48 inches tall). I should have had closer to 30 ounces or 2 pounds dried if I had kept better tabs on them while they dried. Also remember that 8 of those plants are nice yielders, plus the increase in bigger buds from using CMH lights.

The grow that is currently vegging will be interesting to see how they do since I have 6 different strains. They are in week 4 of flowering and doing very well (so far at least), buds are popping out and growing good. Hopefully, after the next few grows of "getting experience growing" I will grow one strain at a time, no more than two.

::sighs:: Makes me so sad I didn't get to see my harvest. I'm glad yours went SO well though, even with the mold problems, im glad you got a great harvest.\
Hows the quality? Stand up to the stuff you used to buy?

Yeah, I really feel for your loss, seriously. I wanted to cry when I realized that my harvest had developed mold. I am not going to cry over spilled milk as they say, but sure could have. Instead I went out drinking and smoking, I guess I was not in the right frame of thought because neither worked.

I have not seriously tested all three strains yet. The first one I tested was the Snow White, which was really nice. I tried Snow White while at an outdoor concert in the woods listening to the Blues and she had me clapping and dancing. I tried the AK48 clone from my Pre-Grow yesterday and it seemed to be better than the Pre-Grow harvested AK48.

I had not smoked any MJ in years before my Pre-Grow harvest so I can't answer the question on quality. But I will anyway...I think my smoke ranks about a 7 or 8 based on a 1-10 scale with 10 being Top Shelf. It could be better or it could be worse depending on the smoker/user.

I wish I could help you sample. ;-) I could give it a proper rating, i've smoked every day without exception (except those few days I was in jail :() for the last 5 years at least.

That's just idle talk on my part. I enjoy growing the plants, but I am considering doing most of my serious growing during the colder months. I have too many things that I have to "master" (germinating, cloning) before I can stop growing for months at a time. I wish I did have some taste testers nearby. I have a person who I let sample my grow but she is a diehard smoker and her comment is always, "it's alright". I don't know if that's because I give it to her free and she's afraid that I'll start charging her if she says that it is really good. It's decent smoking weed if I have to say so myself. Not the worse or the best, but good. I need to grow a really powerful strain to knock her on her butt, and then see how she rates that. Thanks, I can't stop now...

Lol....imagine that!

This person knows this is your bud?

If so and she is a diehard i would ask what could be better about it,ask for some good ole fashion constructive criticism,or you think maybe she won't be honest maybe?

And you know how it goes....second and third opinions would be a better judge of things.

And just my 2 cents on finding some thing powerful to knock her on the her butt.....if she is diehard,and been a diehard for a while like Dankster here.....it's hard to find some thing that does that......TOLERANCE IS SATAN!!!!!!!!!!

I tell people that I grow with experience growers who are teaching me how to grow, which in a sense is true. I won't come right out and tell anyone (family and friends) that I grow my own at home. It's bad enough that she knows I have it to share. I wish I could get those second and third opinions, but most people that I spend time with don't smoke. At this point all I know is that it works for me and the edibles that I have made with it blows me away. My tolerance is building, which is good and bad. When not doing edibles or tincture I smoke, alternating between the 3 different strains that I have harvested up to this point. I think that by doing this I get and keep the nicer high going. The woman that I let taste test has shared some of her MJ with me and being totally honest, I didn't see where it was any better than mine. She says hers is "medical" which doesn't mean a thing IMO, because some of my strains are "supposed" to be medical strains too.
