Oh, it was a good thing you did. When I originally made the post no one responded. But when you bumped it it blew up for a second. And now you know. Thanks for the much needed attention. Now maybe people have some Ideas instead of just throwing it away.

Its not like everyone does not think about it when it happens. Infact there are a hundred post atleast i am sure on this very thing but it is still a fact people should not suggest this. imagine if some penicillium mold got into someones batch of edibles.

it could kill someone, fact.

imo, better safe then sorry.

You could have the same result putting peanuts in something however so maybe I am talking out of my ass.

In relation to what the question originally was in the title. How to deal with bud mold, no big just spray with potassium bicarb leading up to to budding phase of things and/or keep your humidity low. The best defense against fungi is a good offense.

Thanks for your input. The thread was more so of what to do with bud that is moldy, im am flully aware of prevention in controlled environments, but the bud from this th on my outdoor plant so no way to control humidity or tell the planet, "Hey, no raining for the next few months. And Iobviously realize if you do outdoor on a regular basis you might have a greenhose or some sort of cover, but a lot of people dont.

You can definitely kill the mold from heat. People eat mold everyday, example: cheese, and that is eaten without cooking it. I would just cook that shit up, to hell with letting it go to waste. Besides, once it is cooked, you wont taste it so who cares!

There is no need to throw away moldy bud. Grind it up and make hash oil using rubbing alcohol. It will kill the mold and extract the resin and you don't lose your pot. Last year I got mealy bugs which resulted in bud rot because of the honey dew. Heartbroken, I ground up the lbs of months of labor and put it in a box and dried it out completely until I went through the hash oil making process. I've been smoking nothing but hash for a year now.

It may be worth mentioning that I am highly allergic to mold just to prove the point.

Penicillin was originally derived from a infected cantaloupe.

Killing mold is not the problem, like you said people eat mold all that time. Certain mold types are extremely hazardous. I have had a fungal throat infection that would have come from SPORES which can SURVIVE COOKING TEMPS (Sterilization of dry heat is at 350 or so degrees for an hour, Steam 250 degrees or so.). Said infection in my throat led me to think I was going to die for a second cause I was coughing up blood every few minutes.

Cheese is a very specific culture of a very specific fungus, notice how many flavors of cheese there are from a few ingredients and some mold? That if nothing else should tell you that there is a lot of variation in which fungi can produce different chemicals.

Its not that there is a great chance of anything happening but the fact of the matter is it is not responsible to tell someone to do something that they may get hurt from. Let them come to their own conclusions and hurt themselves.




Outdoor growing you can still use potassium bi carb in conjunction with neem oil to give your plants a surface in which fungi spores will not germinate. Keeping your leaf surface above PH 7 means that the conditions do not exist on the plant for the fungi to germinate, or grow. I like to spray an application wait 5 days rinse plants with fresh water and reapply and again 7 days after that.
