No dont sell moldy weed that is about as low down as you can get. You can run through the bubblebags and it will make great hash. Im sure glad im not in OG Royal Growers circle of friends. Selling mold to people is not a cool thing to do. Amazing how peoples true colors surface on these boards.

Babbabud, thanks a lot, I won´t sell it for sure, I am going to look for how to make hash with it, perhaps do you have any link/thread about it?? Thanks again


OG RG, thanks for the post...............

pick off wot u can
nuke it on low for a couple of minutes in the microwave
brush off the dead mould > voila, clean weed.

You can use bubblebags with that since there isn't much mold. A way to test if the hash is mold free (afterwards) is to put it in a glass of clean water after its dry and see if anything floats up (make sure its in powder form first), the hash will sink to the bottom. use your bubblebag to filter it afterwards, or a coffeefilter

I had really moldy bud one time and was able to salvage some trichomes by making honey oil using butane. I'd try the bubblebags first though

Hey vavwl, so I will try, can I do like this??

Last time I did with leaves:


Leaves....

+ water + ice

mixing

on the bottom

1 gram

Shoul be ok?? Any more advice?? There isn´t lots of molds, not much......
Should I cut the buds in smal pieces??

Thanks a lot, just asking to make sure and do it right. thanks

I like the way that bud looks? What strain is it?

Good job!!!

Often mold will be invisible on the outside but when you break open the bud you find
a white or greyish-white mass of mold......so be careful and check those colas!!!

kind regards from a guineapig

So the mold spores are bigger than the trichomes and therefore get caught in one of the layers of the bubble bags? I know actual mold mycelium is larger than a trichome head and will get caught in a bubblebag layer but I assume mold spores are smaller than a trichome head and will pass thru with the trichomes.
I guess if you dry the hash made from this it won't be so much of a problem, but if left wet the spores on the hash could germinate.
I still don't like the idea of smoking just mold spores though either. I guess an iso wash would kill the spores though?
