 Moldy Buds.... 
#301870 - 10/22/09 03:12 PM (15 years, 27 days ago) |

Hey there folks! So, I have been smoking for over a decade, but I am fairly new to growing my own crop. I had some of the smaller buds from trimmings and such in a ziplock.... and my dumbass should have let them air a bit but I forgot about them because I was going to cook with them later. So now they have some white mold on them, not a ton but enough to notice. I have looked at every website and all over THIS site and can't seem to get a STRAIGHT answer! Are the buds salvageable?? Can I cook with them? Luckily the mold is ONLY in these 2 bags and not on my actual plants. If there is a way to safely smoke and/or cook with the moldy buds, anyone have a step-by-step solution for what to do?? Any help is greatly appreciated. THANKS!

You could make hash. I do butane extractions, I think the mold spores may get into a cold water extraction.

Chances are youve gotten moldy buds and didnt know about it, and smoked em, Ive gotten them and smoked them, and i beleive its powder mold on your dope,,
If its not alot I would smoke em, no grower would chuck 3 months of work cuz of a lil mold, at least any I know

Well since she is a girl I suggest smoking as much of it as humanly possible. And the search for truth is not futile.

Cooking with them is fine in most cases.
Be sure to dry your buds until the stem snaps and then seal them in a glass jar or something similar so you can get them fresh air while they cure...This will prevent mold and will also make the smoke better.

I've placed bud into jars before and not aired it out properly (it was from another person so I wasnt trying to cure it, just prevent it from drying up) and I remember they got a bit of white mold on them. I just picked off the moldy parts (not a lot) and smoked them. The same thing happened to a friend of mine and he just picked off the moldy parts and smoked it. We both seem to be fine now

Smoking mold is not a good idea, sure some of us have done it (myself included), but you really shouldn't.
If you don't want to take the risk of smoking them, just turn them into some hash oil. Solvent extractions will leave you with something you can smoke.

Not gonna lie I bought a couple zones of weed that was not totally dry. Left it in a jar and got mold on em. Smoked it with no problem after they dried. The only bad part was that i could not sell it with a clear conscience.

step 1: examine your thoughts
step 2: analyze your existence
step 3: question your reality
step 4: by this time you should be saying "fuck it"
step 5: toss those moldy buds in the gravity bong.
step 6: take a rip and hold it in like a champ.
final step: enjoy the ride.

I have read somewhere that you can freeze the nugz and it will kill off the mold. I can't quote it...but I know I read it somewhere. Try it..freeze them and then dry'em out.....IMO it couldn't do anymore damage at this point.

Sorry, still getting used to this forum, that was in regards to having my Myspace link on here. Yes, I am really a chick. I have been letting the buds dry out and tried to remove most of the mold. I was going to cook with it anyway so I may as well go with the original plan. I may keep a selected amount aside to smoke as an expirament because clearly it's very up-in-the-air as to whether or not it is really going to do harm.

Well, this girl grows her own herb and the only thing I "cling" to is my bong. Nice stereotype, though.

i wouldn't be paranoid about people fucking with my-space, like who gives a fuck about myspace. i think its a bad idea because your exposing yourself as a grower by saying "i grow my own herb" with a link to your personal profile and matching profile pictures blah blah. don't lose any sleep over it though, not trying to scare you lol just be careful what you put out there.

Hey! Belated welcome to the Growery!
I know its been said, but maybe one more vote will sway you: don't smoke moldy buds. Especially if you're a grower. There are more on the way, and you can definitely cook or do hash extractions with what you have.

here's a tip for everyone, if you're going to pass advice off on someone have it be from personal experience or a reliable source. i read it somewhere doesn't cut it. integra21 made hash out of his moldy bud and it turned out nice.

Ok, being an old school kinda guy, I also would not recommend smoking moldy herb. Just like i would not eat a moldy apple! I also remember this debate back in the old HT days and can remember reading that it was potentially dangerous to smoke moldy weed. Molds come in various types, some good and some really deadly. Depending on the mold growing on your buds will determine the outcome.
I just did a butt load of reading after a Google search of "smoking moldy cannabis" and the general consensus seems to be against smoking anything moldy.
Also the Shroomery may be a better place for answers on mold/fungus.
Here is something i found on another website while researching this subject.

Well, the Myspace thing I'm not worried about. I have never had accurate personal information on it and I don't grow anything at my residence. I'm really not worried about it. Thanks to all for the advice. I appreciate it greatly, seems to be a bit of both but I have heard a majority of people recommend NOT smoking it. Do you think cooking with it would still be okay?
