MOLD on pot - photos

This is what it looks like.
I had the chance to receive a batch of moldy pot specifically to take photos of it. So here are the results.
It was hard to see on the dried flowers, from normal bud viewing distance, it looked like a dense cluster of chalky white trichomes, and could easily be mistaken for so. It was not widespread, only a few leaves here and there had visible accumulation, but remember if there is some visible, there are probably spores all over the bud.

After looking at a close up, you can see the fibers of the mold are much smaller than the trichomes themselves, and you can see the fibers covering some trichomes entirely.









I dont grow... so I can't say anything about prevention.
Of course, I heavily discourage smoking anything with mold detected on it. Trashcan.

I hope you find this informative, keep an eye out!

ps, mods, sticky?

pps, I moved this from sick plants/problems. I wasnt getting good feedback there.

ppss, if you want to come in here and tell me how you'd still smoke it, don't, I dont want to hear about your irresponsibility, I just want people to know how to recognize mold.

This is good. Searching hasn't turned up many results in the way of visual evidence of mold, so I'm glad someone actually did this.

Can't say I've ever come across moldy weed, but I know some growers just want to make money, so they either soak it for weight (causing covered mold), or fail to dry it properly (causing spotted mold).

Thanks for the rep and feedback.
Yes omega, the guy who gave me the bud was concerned with the lack of visual aids for mold on pot. He gave me his moldy crap specifically for me to document it.

Savage, mold definately does not increase potency. Unless i'm unaware that powdery mildew produces THC, then no. And while it hasn't really been researched, common sense points toward smoking mold is bad for you.

Do not smoke anything with mold on it. Or any part of anything with mold on it. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it is not there. Chalk it up to a loss. Mold can make you seriously sick.

MOLD DOES NOT INCREASE POTENCY!!! THE POTENCY ONLY DEGRADES AFTER THE MARIJUANA IS PICKED FROM THE PLANT. NO MORE NUTRIENTS=NO MORE THC.

yea just because the bud isnt entirely covered with visual mold doesnt mean it isnt covered in spores that you cant see without a scope. if theres mold toss it its not worth getting your lungs fucked over.
