Mold scare please give me advice

the.prot4gonist · #1 (**permalink**) 10-16-2009, 07:44 AM

After harvesting I dried my crop for about 5 days hanging up, then another 2 in paper bags. Afterwords I trimmed them up and put them in a plastic pretzel jar to cure. After the first day of curing I opened up the jar to air out, there was moisture accumulated on the inside of the jar so I wiped it and let it air out more then released it and went to bed. Day 2 of curing I checked on the nugs and noticed white stuff on two of the nugs ( I suspect it to be mold) and there was a substantial amount of moisture on the inside of the jar. I am freaking out, I dont want to lose my harvest to mold. I'm thinking its a little too wet to cure, so I laid them all out to examine the batch as a whole, the mold seemed to be localized to those two nugs I spoke about earlier. I plan on putting them back in the jar before I go to bed, but leaving the jar top off, and seeing how it looks and feels in the next 36 hours. Am I taking the best course of action? What else can I do? Is there a better way of dealing with this? Am I over reacting?

I appreciate all advice and comments

your bud sounds way too wet make sure the stems snap and the bud feels crispy on the outside before you put it in the jar.
i would put them in the paper bag another day to dry out.
