If it has mold its trash. Friends dont let friends smoke moldy buds.

Would you eat moldy bread? Would you drink moldy milk? Would you wash your dishes with a moldy sponge?

I have simmilar conditions of daytime temps in the 80's and 80-90% humidity constantly , with those conditions to properly dry stuff 6-9 weeks atleast

You need to monitor your Dew Points closely, or else mold is certain, when you approach this you need to add heat to avoid the dew

Basements with cement floors are notrious for humidity and mold, try moving them somewear else . If you cant do that get some cheap drop-cloths and a bucket of damp-rid , and create a oversized dessicant chamber

Been thinking of getting a dehumidifier but they are really pricey. Might have to give in for the sake of the buds

Could be some of the best mone y you can spend. If its not dry in 4 weeks your humidity is crazy high. Your just asking for mold to settle into it.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll take this as a VERY costly learning experience. And I might try that liberty chicken, even my grow room has concrete floors(which I'm sure the roots hate) so that will have to be taken care of b4 it gets cold again

Lol well 6 hours with the dehumidifier on dried it all up. Found some buds that I couldn't see any mold/spider mites on(forgot to mention those. This was a stressful grow:P) and it's some good smoke. Looks like I'll be cutting the mold away on the ones that aren't that bad.

Not if it's bad, but if it's just a bit I might cut that mold off and make a sandwich.

If you ever have this problem again i would a dehydrator or a oven on the lowest setting possible, its not a great idea but its better then mold. A couple of grows ago i had some buds mold on me while they were drying im pretty sure its because the room was too cold and i wasnt using a fan and the racks were over stuffed and i didnt cut up monster colas. Now i learned from that shit. Now i always cut up my colas plus people were bitching about the stems, even after i would weigh a big ass stem to show them they don't weigh shit and im like "your getting ounces of dank for $220 shut the fuck up or go somewhere else, you want to bitch about a half a gram of stems when i weigh it over anyways" god damn low ballers piss me the fuck off.

Yeah the humidity is definitely too high I'm getting a dehumidifier today, but bad news. I have mold on most if not all of the weed. Just small specs but it's mold... Does this weed have to get chucked or can I cut around it and some how get the floating particals off? Well this really sucks!!

And throw some cayenne pepper on it too, then you can say look at those amber trics.

if your basement is at 85% humidity on a regular basis you might want to think about running that dehumidifier constantly because that level of humidity isn't good for your house in general.

I agree with greenlikemonkey I am still a BRAND NEW grower. And even to me 85% sounds REALLY HIGH......I'm not POSITIVE...but I'm pretty sure that once they got mold, there is a good chance that the smell and taste of mold is going to be all through it....again,NOT POSITIVE...you may want to ask somebody a lot more experienced to BE SURE..good luck:leaf:
