making hash with buds with powdery mildew

**The Lorax** · 12-31-2009, 02:19 AM

hey guys i just trimmed my buds up and now im drying them. one plant had powdery mildew so im keeping it in the garage whereas the rest of the normal bud goes in the tent. but the thing is that the garage gets like 40 degrees at night so thats way too cold to dry them, can i grind up the buds with powdery mildew that way they dry faster, so i can make the hash out of it and not have to waste that bud. IDK if this is really making sense its kind of hard for me to explain.

It would be easiest if i could put the powdery mildew buds in the same tent as the rest so they all dry normally but i dont know if the mildew will spread to the normal buds.

keep em far away from the others if you do decide to keep them, i'd probally just say fuck it and give it a shot depending on the mildew severity. how much bud do you have w/it? have any pics?

thnx for quick response man, i got a pic of em ya here ya go. not sure how much in weight cus its still wet but a good amount, so u think i should continue to dry them in the garage? it will just take a long time right?

first four is the mildew buds, the rest are the normal buds.

im just going to grind them up while they are still wet so to collect keif, then im going to using a pollen press to make hash out of the keif, hopefully i dont get sick smoking the hash.

only cause you sound all sarcastic...

it has less to do with the mildew "surviving a fire" than it does with toxins that things off gas in the burning of it.

a tire won't survive a fire either.. you want that shit in your lungs? smoking mildew isn't a good idea.. doesn't mean it isn't and can't be done.

I know for a FACT you can make bubble hash with moldy bud. The straining process strains out the mold. The guy who invented bubble bags says in his video that he does it all the time. I did it and the hash is great.

But you definitely should not smoke straight buds that have mold on them - that's fungus and you don't want fungus in your lungs.

I would think that other hash making methods would work too...as long as it's relying on straining through a screen at some point. Also...do not dry the moldy buds anywhere near the others and be very careful about carrying spores into the tent on your hands, hair, clothes etc.

Just my 2 cents.

Good Luck

Lots of people make bubble hash and other types of hash out of mildewy bud just fine. Just make sure to clean you're hash making material real well after you're done. Also, I'd store the moldy hash in the fridge/freezer to eliminate mold growth. Molds and fungi hate the cold.
