Don't let this be you!

AK47 from bulk s10 days after harvest. Spent 4 days in the grow room dryingar 40% rh and 70 degrees, then jarred up and opened every day sometimes for 30 min. Yesterday evening it smelled dusty. Obviously it was too damp to put in the jar.

Bummer, man.

Dam. Looks like mold my computer screen is all dirty can't really tell. Hope that wasn't your only crop.

I feel bad for you,Molokai like they were not ready for jarring. A Boveda Humidipak might have prevented this from happening, I never jar without putting one in each container.

If you cut out the mood you can make some potent oil with those buds, all is not lost.

Even with those if it's not dry enough you'll get mold. Take it from me.

yeah bro its majorly molded those spores are huge im with taz make some oils with that shit . never jar until the buds are dry i dont care if it takes a hanging and a brown bagging . if the outside of the buds feel crisp and dry but your stems aren't snapping and are still rubber like then the inside of those nugs r river wet never jar until those stems snap trust bro you will get hay everytime no matter how long you cure. remember anyone with a greenthumb can grow weed but only a true student can master the art of drying and curing this stage of the culture kicks peoples ass because they become antsy and wanna smoke. drying and curing cannabis is a true craft and only the patient will reap the sweet stinky reward. Start over bro never give up been there done that hay weed and all. u dont need bovida packs either if u just let the plants dry until the stem snaps not bend like rubber but snaps then jar and burp 4 times a day for about 15 minutes a burp for two weeks and u can smoke or continue to cure until u reach your preferred level of achievement .

You could dry it in water I've had sucess getting rid of the mold

"Dry it in water "??

yeah look it up sounds crazy but does work

Hygrometers will save your ass there, they will tell you with no guessing if it is too wet to be in jars.

If its not real bad you can give it a wash in a solution of peroxide and water. usually used for very light powdery mildew issues, but that may be too far gone.

Hang them back up in dark, increase temps a bit

or go

the water cure my favorite,

I think you jared that a bit early, normally 5-7 days in 50%-60% hum.

I only had one jar go bad, i forgot about it. I had like 15 jars and misplaced it lol

Shitty feeling

Actually another time i noticed mold growth on one, i just cut it off (like cheese right lol)

Damn atleast you had more I wouldn't even make oil out of it that sucks hope it never happens again. major Party Foul lol

The most common mistake is jarring buds too soon, perhaps hang the plant upside down with a dehuey set at 55% until the stems snap, then jar, burp until humidity hits 55% and be done.

Is that white shit mold?

yes

A germicidial bulb kills 99.99% of germs, kills mold spores for buds, used it this year.. Chop out the infected area and run it under a uvc light for a quick 5 seconds to kill all the spores to prevent spreading. I disagree with everyone saying to wait for the stem to snap, I always waited for a nice dry crisp on the buds and the stem DOESN"T snap. This year was my first successful grow and i had to cure 10 lbs in jars, everything turned out the same! I used to think curing was tricky, but after having so much bud to cure, its just something you get the feel for.
