Ok, So I got my hands on an O of some premium Kush two weeks ago on Sunday the 20th . It was in an airtight bag, sealed using those machines. Dude told me it was a from a fresh p and that I should open it and leave out for a bit since it's fresh and wet. Well my brain really doesn't work sometimes, I kinda forgot he said that. I didn't open the bag till Tuesday morning and I never let it "air out". It smelled really really fresh, like the bad type. It was wet but it got me twisted. Ever since then, I have not removed it from the original bag. I just stuffed the whole bag into an airtight ziplock bag which I open about 3-4 times a day to grab a bowl.
Anyway, it's two weeks later and I don't know if this was already there or what, but the bud seems to have golden/yellowish stuff all over it which I was thinking was powdered mildew, but the bud doesn't look rotten or anything and the ENTIRE 3 q left is covered in it. I would think it's crystals, till I broke a nug open and on the inside you see A LOT of shining crystals, plus it's sticky as HELL, the yellow stuff doesn't "reflect" or "shine". I tried looking at it closely and you can tell, the crystals are different from the yellow stuff that's all over the outside of the bud.
What do you guys think it could be? Definitely not hairs. The only reason I got suspicious was because I started getting headaches from smoking the bud, but that's possibly because I was smoking stem (wasn't breaking it up). I started breaking it up since yesterday and it's been a smooth smoke, with a great high and no headache/sore throats (a little harsh at first)/immediate lung probs. It went from smelling like some chemical crap yesterday to some really powerful sweet smelling kush after I threw it in a jar. It's still wettish, but there's definitely no mold on it. Just don't know if it's mildew
Here's a the closest pic of it I can find. Notice the powedery yellow stuff covering parts of the leaves. Mine is similar. I'll try to get a nice and clear picture in a bit of my own. Hoping I don't have to throw this out, because then I can't smoke till September. Sorry for the huge post. Worried for my health here. Thanks
