Please tell me I'm wrong, but is this mildew?

KingMickeystarted grow question a month ago
Had these nugs sitting in the jar, humidity ~45° because I over dried them, and starting checking them out under my loupe but didn't like the looks of things. Is this what I'm afraid of? Is this mold/mildew/rot or am I over worrying and over panicking?

Hey there I can't tell 100% iin the photo but if it looks like mold then it's prob mold. When you 1st finish drying buds make sure to put them in mason jars and then take them back out several times a day fir a bit fir about a week before you start just burping the jars I'm sorry if you lose your harvest from mild Just know this only 1 in 1000 ppl that try and grow end up with something halfway smokable after there 1st few grows. Your buds look decent so it looks like you did a decent job on growing. Just take it as a lesson it will take you atleast a year or 2 if growing till you even have buds that smoke right Don't get down just taken your mistakes and prepare for next time Happy growing

You're fine man. Mildew grows normally on living plants, so if you didn't have it on the plant, you probably wont get it later on. Mold will start to look like fine strings and rot will turn the bud brown/grey & mushy. There will also be a bad smell with them. With flower on the dry side, there is very little chance of having mold issues. Fungus like humid environments.

I agree with most everyone we can’t definitely say from a photo. Separate a small lot 3.5 or so. Put it in a jar. Add a DROP!! Distilled water!! Seal the jar a place it in front of a heat vent. If there is mold on it will grow a get worst.

if i had to guess, it seems fine, but get some better magnification to be certain and compare to the pictures.

The sieves for water hash are not small enough to filter out the fungus. There's no saving wpm-riddled bud. There's no 'washing' it. You probably won't get sick or die smoking it, but you'll cough like crazy and it'll taste off. The pictures aren't quite zoomed in enough. If you see individual trichomes and nothign coating it -- a net-like fibrous coating -- than all is well. google some images 'trichomes wpm marijuana' and i'm sure you'll be able to find some examples. https://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/WEBO%C3%ADdio-y-Trips-Sala-Yohan-y-Raul_0018-910x607.jpg https://www.reddit.com/media you can see it is a clear difference than seeing individual stalks of capitulated trichomes.

I fought WPM already a couple of times and I can pretty much tell you that I CAN NOT see any visible signes of WPM or RLF related mold. I can see that your pistils are overflown with tricomes which is a very good signe for a extraction strain. Everything looks fine my brother. If you are still afraid you could also give more pictures with a better focus or closer look, or just Budwash all of them with peroxide. But IMO you good to go

Zooming in, all I can see are trichomes. But I don't have the best eyesight so listen to others. Jarring at such low humidity isn't likely to foster mold. What does your nose say? Curing often tightens the buds and exaggerates the appearance of trichomes

I can't see much of anything in the pics that looks off. Mold will have a smell and mushiness to it. It also need moisture to grow. If the weed was truly over dried then I don't see this being a problem as the water content and RH is not high enough. It looks like some trichome stalks without heads but they might just be in the jar or stuck on something else. If it was mold. Making bubble hash is not going to solve that problem. The spores go everywhere and the rot penetrates the buds. that's the main thing. You don't want to be consuming its body or spores let alone the metabolites it makes.

If it does have mold you can always freeze the buds and make some water hash that should filter off any

If in doubt give some to a friend, if they die within a week of smoking it then throw it away and find a new test subject. If they are fine then it's all good.

I think you're paranoid but like Papa said photos aren't the same as seeing it in person.

I don’t see anything that looks out of the ordinary. But it’s also had to tell from pictures vs seeing it in person. Just looks like nice frosty nuggets of goodness to me. However if you’re really not sure about it and have doubts, just toss it out. Your health isn’t worth a few grams of weed.
