I was just getting ready to harvest a really nice White Widow plant and noticed an area on the big center cola with some white cotton looking areas. Is this mold? Could it be a insect infestation? The white stuff looks like a real dense spider web or cocoon material. This is an indoor grow room. Should I remove this from the rest of the plant when I start drying.
well thats new.. from indoors?.. maybe one them spiders. if its a insect, Id just pull it off with some tweezers and smoke the rest..
thats really kinda weird, does look like mold? you have high humidity alot?.. I doubt its anything deadly.. Id smoke it ..
I am 100% sure that is mold. The bud pulls apart quite easily in your hand.....correct ? Separate any buds that are like that from the rest of the crop. Any buds which are only slightly effected may possibly be saved......pop them in microwave for few second intervals...this will kill the mold. clean bud and zap in microwave until there is zero mold left behind. Be careful not to evap your thc. Personally I would bin any with mold but if u try a rescue package this is the way to do it.
shitty deals.... if its insect web then i'd just pull it off with tweezers but if it's like cottony mold then i'd scrap it. i thought mould was grey?
Yeah, that's definitely mould. It must have been too humid, at least you know for next time though. That's one of the things I love about cultivation, you're always learning. Don't smoke any of the mouldy bits, they could make you ill. The rest of the bud should be good for it though. It looks like it'll be a decent smoke - enjoy!
