When I harvested my buds they were still soft so wasn't completely dried, so I putz them in jars who weren't closed, they were slight open to get the air in, and i was shaking /shovel them daily, I went to trip and wasn't home 2 days, when I got back first thing that struck me from jars was smell off mold ( we got a lot of that with Albanian weed) and then I saw my lower buds (lower in the jar/on the bottom) are turning white..
Its only weed that I got.. Is there any way to save it??
I guess I smoked a ton of albanian weed that was half molded...thru my 17y or smoking

Will washing with peroxide help?

What if the n butane don't bond to the mold, then after extraction he was to
Use alcohol to dilute and use those syringe filters with micron filtering so small the mold couldn't pass through it?
Not recommending it, just food for thought.

It’s the potential presence of aflatoxins in the bud that cannot be filtered out that is the primary concern. But in all honestly, that material is not acceptable by any standards. If you try to hide it in a concentrate you should be ashamed of yourself.

The article clearly stated that, but also told you to decide what kind of mold you are dealing with.

Im in agreement with you if it is the wrong kind of mold or he is selling it or giving it to others.
But if its not toxic and he was able to salvage some of the less damaged material why not?

Good move
Next time hang it for a week, then put in a jar. I have RH gauges in my jars(I use 6g buckets) if I see it climb above 80/85% when it the the container, I’ll take it out n put it on a screen for 6-12 hours . Some times I’ll just leave the top off the bucket for 4-6 hours to see what the RH is after the lid is returned.

Drying & curing properly is just as important as the grow.
