Radix, get them out of the bags. They should be dried to the point the twigs crack when bent, aprox. 5 to 6 days to get the buds drier. I do not know other than that my sweet. Hold on till someone else answers. and you can make hash out of them either way I beleive.

Peace

I would cut off the mold and water cure 'em....the mold won't grow underwater and it will take out all the bad taste...http://www.greenpassion.org/f21/water-curing-2477/

hash oil is another option but not one I like...others do

OUCH! yeah should definately wait longer befor egoing into bags for sure. that caused the mold it sounds like. id clip off as much of it as you can, id never use any molded bud to make either bubble or oil out of myself. cut away allll the mold you can, toss it faaaaar away and get the rest dry asap. as was said above, branches should snap before being bagged or jarred, and even then should be checked daily for at least a few days becuase the moisture will still build up in the jar the first few days, they gotta be burped. once theyre dry and well on the way they can be left sealed up longer. thats my opinion on it, but i wouldnt eat moldy bread any sooner than id smoke moldy bud or even make hash with it. again sorry for your loss, i know it sucks.

So radix what will you do and did it save any of your crop? ...you not telling us is leaving us hanging on a cliff somewhere! Let us know.

Peace

Okay, as Jangel said, you don't start to cure your buds till they dry enough to do this, so if the twicks snap dry they good to go.

for now, remove them from the bags, hang em up again. if the mold isn't spreed yet you can cut the moldy spots out, but don't try to save too much bud or you won't get all the mold.

the other option would be to vaporize/kill off the mold in you oven, but this also will depletes your buds potency and it will be harsh to smoke! for this you have to preheat the oven to 300°F to max 310°F as at 320°F start to oxidize the THC in high rates.

hello again ,

ok guys i hacked the mold off and threw it away {i lost quite a lot of bud } then i put the remainder in front of a hot air blower until it was dry as a bone .... the smoke is kinda harsh but does the trick......i have learned my lesson from trying to rush and wont be doing that again...............anyway onward and upwards got some super skunk seeds from sensiseedbank on the go as my next project


thanks for your help lads and lasses im very impressed with you all
