Have I been attacked by mold here?

Lost the fan in my small space and found this cotton ball looking thing on my Dwarf Low Flyer. Pulled her, now drying. Straight to an ISO bath or can I smoke this herb?

Looks like it still needed a few week's. I wouldn't smoke that.

Looks like mites, or spiders, or something... poke the thing, pull it off... get down in there...

Could be mold. Ventilation (over low humidity) is definitely the key to avoiding/beating mod/mildew/rot. And lack there of to getting it. But even at my high humidity/low ventilation I didn't get mold (I got some on my soil, not on my plant) but I got bud rot in a couple spots that were touching a wall.

Definitely get a fan in there asap.

Also maybe remove that bit o bud (thoughts on that? If it's mold or mites it could spread is what I'm thinking)

If it's all over... then it's a toss... I've smoked some buds like that... tasted crap, weren't very potent, and I know it wasn't healthy... inhaling mold never is, I was just an ass.

I was thinking spider mites/bugs of some kind too.

mites make webs like a spider but finer, that looks like powdery mildew or mold

So I've cut her down. Early, but whatevs....

Looked under the magnification and couldn't find any bugs other than thrips that I've been fighting for a while.....

ya that is powdery mildew i am nearly positive. You should make hash i think it can make u sick if u smoke it.

Mold, up your air circulation. I find cutting a 2litre bottle in half and putting the mouth piece in a shop vac hose makes a nice funnel that sucks hard and doesn't damage the plant. Only used on mites for webbing.

Its not powdery mildew. Could be mold but it looks like a web. If you checked for bugs after you chopped its possible they vacated for a new home.

Thinking web of a carepillar. I've had them before...
Looks a lot like bud rot too but that's more yellow brown

100% not a bug. Crack open more buds along the stalk and your going to find more.

Thats not web's if it was a web he'd be able to pull it off.

you are molding...sorry....shit happens.

My guess is mold

100% Botrytis

By how close the white substance is to the main bud. Mites web would be further out as a protective covering.
You need more air flow, lower humidity, and a good clean up (bleach 10% solution).
The white part you are seeing is the mycelium of Botryis. This occurs when spores find anideal place and are incubated forming the white fuzzy stuff.

PS DONT SMOKE THAT- COULD GIVE YOU LIVER DAMAGE OR WORSE !!!

in my exp it is very obvious when it is webbing. everyone knows what a spider web feels like, if it was webbing he would know it, it is not a pest it is mold/mildew

What a great community of wonderful folks willing to help.
I think all you guys are terrific !!!!
Cannabis folks are some of the best anywhere. Good luck government cracking or busting apart our culture or brother/sister hood...fuck you Gov.

I completely agree Hippy! Thanks for all of your input everyone, she is drying now and will be sentenced to be drowned in iso eventually.

It could be webbing from a catepillar but it looks like mold to me. It's not from mites.
