Are my buds rotting when drying?
DwarfPlantstarted grow question 5 months ago
Hey.. so i messed up the drying process.. Didnt have the room or place to hang dry the buds so i looked for alternative ways to dry cannabis and i went for paper bags.. Its third day of "drying" in bags but they dont look right. Can i do anything now?

I 100% agree with MindFlowers.
If you plan to grow, you need to be able to finish the process properly.
Otherwise you took a long hike down a dead end road.
I can't see mold, but just because I can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
Fresh flower in a small space is asking for trouble and I wouldn't smoke this.

Not going to sugarcoat this. Drying is one of the most important things. if you are going to be a grower you need to find a proper space to dry or you are going to be wasting your time. you would be better off buying dispensary weed than smoking moldy buds/ but to answer your question. they don't look moldy,but I don't think you are gong to get good results. they look like they are being handled too much.

They need fresh air & circulation, because they evaporate meister, put them on a newspaper on top of the fridge or something & turn them every day for 3-4 days, than Go for the Paperbags🏼

Wet trim and get the kief?Is it worth it to pause the drying process and wet trim?
I am mostly asking this since I read it's easier to wet trim and I can hopefully extract some kief from the sugar leaves with a grinder in the process.
What are your thoughts, leave it as is, or get that kief?a year ago

Bud Rot? Mold? Or safeOne of the branches split during a storm the other day and didn't recover after a few days so I chopped. I'm wondering if the leaves trap moisture in the bud during the days I let it recover. The backside has a brown tint to it while the front looks green and healthy. Srry 4 picsBuds. Other

Is the bud rot? What to do?Is this bud rot?
I found it on two bud sites so far on my big plant.
What would you do?
1) Assuming it's rot or some other infection would you just harvest now?
It's like 2-2.5 weeks early.
2) Wait one more week and see and risk spread?Week 22

Bud rot! Should I harvest early?I wasn’t finding any mold or mildew except a few leaves until today. Had about 4days of rain and now there’s a bit of rot in every large bud it seems like. About 10 days of sun coming up now, so should I just cut the rot out and wait 1-2 weeks? Or chop now and make hash?Buds. Other
