White Spots on Pistils

[weedstoner420]

That's an unlikely spot for any sort of mold/mildew to germinate, the pistils on the outside of the bud are relatively dry and oily compared with the moist/fleshy interior of the bud.

You could try prying the bud open to see if there is brown/dead plant matter around the stem, but all the leaves around it look healthy and it's not a particularly large bud so I would hope it's all good.

My vote would be some dust or lint got blown around and stuck to the bud...

So I'm assuming you're talking about these?

Yeah thats the ones i am referring to, what i am doing now is using a little tweezer to Pick them Out, which mostly results in Picking Out the whole pistil and then throwing that away.
But on some i can also Kind of Scratch it Off.

@weedstoner420
Yeah its definetely No Bud Rot or anything its Just the Pistils as mentioned before, everything Else Looks fine smells fine all super i guess its perfectionism to worry about auch a small White dot instead of Just Picking it Off and throwing it away.
Just hoped to save that Work, would you Guys smoke a Bud with a Bit chalk From tapwater or small perlite particels or lint or dust on one or two Pistils ?

The thing is, if it were dust or perlite, from being blown around, I feel like it would be on more than just the pistils. To me it looks like resin from burst trichomes, maybe?

Maybe that too i will try to collect some of These and rub between my fingertips to See If it smells moldy or Not

Looks like some type of fungus. Who knows if it's harmful when smoked or not but you maybe should wash the whole batch or possibly even throw it out. More research needs to be done but it ain't looking good.

If those tiny little spots on a small percentage of pistils is the biggest problem with the grow, I’d feel just fine overall.
I’d like to hear from some of the “propeller heads” and find out exactly what it could be…..especially if it’s some type of mold-like life. But no way would I toss my harvest over it. If U wanted to be on the safe side, just wash the buds after chopping and forget about it.
During the course of a 10-12 week flowering cycle all kinds of microscopic material gets blown around the buds. I’m sure we’ve all ingested plenty that isn’t natural to the plant.
Good luck. And def let us know if U learn what it is…..
