Why are you not letting go of using jars in the drying stage? I'm not the only one to tell you that is not what to do. Show me anyone in the whole world who does that.
Quoting: Revolution of Consciousness well the dye is somewhat cast in this case. the bud was trimmed green into jars, which was bad. now i'm trying to salvage it. part of the issue is a space premium.. i have limited space to do this. but you can see, some are in jars here, and some are in larger, open pans. actually i'm going to concede this was a terrible idea. taking a look at the jar contents now, half of them have traces of mold. dang. lesson learned, but so disheartening. spreading the rest out in pans now.. I use coat hangers. Tie the stems to the coat hanger and let them dangle. You don't want them touching anything. I've done this for over a decade. I typically dry them in the grow room or a closet with a heater. For your molded bud, depending on how molded it is, you could probably still make edible butter with it. Spray some hydrogen peroxide on it and let it dry, see if it gets worse or not. Keep the molded stuff away from the good stuff, completely separate rooms if possible. so last night i went through my sad mouldering jar stash with a magnifying glass. chucked about half of it. those chunks that were questionable, couldn't really see big mold but not quite sure, i threw into the crock pot with 2 pounds of organic butter. let it simmer on the porch all night. and it worked! filtered it twice thru cheesecloth and got 2x 1 pint jars of dark oil/butter.. it's cooling now. thx for the tips, GLP -- thanks to you i was able to salvage some of this disaster instead of just tossing the lot. the rest of the bud that didn't show mold under magnification i now have spread out in trays underneath a solar spectrum light.. hopefully that dries it out without any further mold.
