White dots on curing nuggets :(

So super bummed. I did brown bag drying till they stayed at 55% humidity, then put in flip lid jar big enough for my large calculator size hygrometer to fit in with the bud. kept burping almost twice a day in 52-58% humidity room. Once the hygrometer quit climbing beyond 58%, I put them in more air tight jars....which I guess is my down fall. I still burped them once a day - sometimes in my car with full blown AC with hygrometer showing 29-40% humidity in the car. Man I fucking tried my damnedest. Just goes to show when harvest come around - either have the equipment for a perfect dry/cure or tell every priority in life to fuck off for 2 weeks to properly babysit it

TLDR: white spots on various nugs, smells GREAT and earthy but white dots nonetheless. What can I do? can I cook it down into butter?


EDIT: based on this "perfect cure" thread, maybe my hygrometer is off. because mine said 55% and the stems still bent well but did not even feel like the outer layer of the stem was snapping when being bent. ugh fml, gonna have to change the yoda in my avatar to Jar Jar Binks lol

Spider mites

you think so??? from an indoor grow that didn't show any mites? mind I chopped this I think...2 weeks ago - looked and smelled great. Then 2 days ago I thought I noticed something...then today with those pics its undeniable. I've read many people have washed their "moldy" or w/e bud during cure by submerging it in clean filtered water, rinse and replace the water everyday for like 1-2 weeks. Weed looked like swag after the following drying, but they say smoked great. Considering that as a possible option.

Could be mold. I wouldn't smoke it. Even if washed. But the extent of time in the water you're talking about is a water cure. I still wouldn't smoke it.

So for better reference, I took a photo by the window for better lighting.

I hear you...and I was ready to throw it in the trash, but thought I'd try to find a remedy. I grow for personal, I'm on a tight AF budget, and NEED pot to not lose my cool at work etc. I do have another whole jar that's good, but it won't last but month or 2.

So if I can figure a way to salvage these nuggets that will be monumental for my poverty ass.

That looks more like mold than mites . What's it look like on the inside ?

Powdery mildew......trash it.

PM , Necrotic leaf , mold tendrils (hyphae)….. break the buds open - that should tell you more about it.

Also , deep clean your grow area.
