And i am a MacroBiology major, although i'm just a freshmen so definitely not qualified to identify and examine mold... I have access to those resources however.
For the sake of this thread i'm going to still record my findings. However i want to make it clear for people reading this- Mold is not a joke, and not to be messed around with. The Purpose of this discussion is for EDUCATIONAL purposes and is more of an experiment than a legit way to get bud...
I am not trying to bark away your good advice guys, i appreciate the involvement, i'm simply trying to stir up the conversation towards the post in a challenging way... Stay tuned and well see how it comes out. but basically what you are saying is this 20 grams isnt worth experimenting to save...
I believe its penicillium or some common mold that grows rapidly... big web looking mold, obviously not going to grind up a nice dank moldy nug and smoke the spore keef my grinder collects.
Ok i didn't come to the forum to be told to go read an extensive grow bible, i was asking the collective knowledge of the forum members for their personal best ways.

Should i just abandon it? im not unaware to the dangers of mold thats why i am attempting this. The Drying Process would give ample time for mold to grow back so i would see it and obviously not smoke it and give up.... But theoretically what would be the safest and best way to dry at this point?
Search led to nothing but garbage photos and children microscopes, i tried google, your ignorant rudeness is not appreciated on a thread that is intended to be educational. Thanks anyway tho!
The weed will be drying for a long period of time as well after water curing, so if there really is still mold it will have plenty of time to grow back.
peppermint oil is a personal choice, trying to spice up the nugs because water curing normally erases a large portion of flavor- combined with the untastly additives- something has to be done.... But lets be CLEAR this is not for someone who has "best case scenario" expectations for their grow...
Update- Gradually decreasing the amount of the anti-mold mix in the water during curing is necessary for bud quality, no one wants to smoke ginger(although some people do like smoking clove)... Last few days should have nothing but peppermint oil in the water
A common issue growers encounter is mold. I know this idea is often shut down and laughed at for ignorance... But hear me out. So my buddy grew and gave me a bunch of nugs, i attempted to dry in jars and got mold. Ive looked into saving it through water curing... So the argument seems to be -...
