I guess I messed up during the drying process. Such a beautiful cola, too, but I forgot to take a pic before I noticed the mold - at which point I just started peeling away chunks at a time ☹️

What a bummer.

    It was towars the upper edn of 50% humidity , and I had air moving around the room, but not specifically for this purpose ans I think with the level of humidity I should have had a fan or dehu going. I think it might work well when the weather is actually more wintery than it is now, but until then I have to be more diligent

      I’d guess that there was already mold in the bud at harvest. It looks like a lot and I think it takes a few days for mold to spread that much.

        You think? I have no idea - the plant seemed fine, and I didnt notice it until I opened it up, so I don’t really know. I’ll have to keep a closer eye, and maybe break the big buds up a little more before drying, just to check.

        Thanks!

          As soon as they develop buds I check them every day for mold. In both of my grows I discovered mold one day before the planned harvest and had to throw away some of it.

          When the buds grow denser I even bend the bigger ones a bit to check its cores. I do this with rubber gloves or skewers because it’s so very sticky.
