My 1st harvest, straight to the composter...

[Mr ADHD]

Looks like I just wasted the last 6 months of my life! I went to harvest my 1st grow today only to find that the main cola was covered in mold leaving me only a couple of little popcorn buds. FUCK MY LIFE

 

[nikk]

wow,how long has it been since you watched her last,because it looks like it kinda could've been caught earlier,i could be wrong tho,humidity maybe?
i feel for you,but i heard if you make honey oil all is not lost

 

[chitownsmoking]

make hash oil with the moldy bud

 

[Ledhed]

That sucks, looks like it would have been some nice smoke. Go with the oil, may as well get something good out of it.

Well its my own fault for sure. I couldnt realy see the back side of the plant untill I pulled her out of the closet for harvesting.

I do have some Hexane from making Garlic oil. Im searchine making oil now. Can oil be added to butter for cooking?

 

[chitownsmoking]

awwww hexane is the fucking waaaay to go waaaaaaay clean. the oil should come out real golden. and yes it can be added to butter to cook with but i dont know if you would wanna do that. some would b e sketchy to eat something that involved hexane at one time

Hexane is the number one way of making cheap non pressed olive and garlic oils. It evaporates away completely. Besides how is smoking any better then ingesting? lol

I have some rellay good butter made from two moldy colas a good friend of mine gave me. He was going to throw them out and I told him I'd give him half the butter. Turned out great.

 

[chitownsmoking]

i never said i would be sketchy i know hexane is clean thats why its more expenisve

 

[Mr ADHD]

Im glad to know all is not lost. Turns out I have all the simple labware required to make oil. All the tutorials I found though were for using shake, not bud. Do I need to completely dry it and powder it still? or just chop it up and start boiling it in hexane?

What do you think was the culprit...
Lack of air circulation?
Humidity too high?

Very sorry to see that happened, BTW

There was plenty of air circulation but humidity was left unchecked. I also had misted the bottoms of my fan leaves a few times becuase I was affraid I had underwatered. Totaly preventable, Live and learn

For making the oil you want your bud as dry as possible. The more moisture you have in the mix the greener the oil will be. Green oil means that some of the plant material is in the mix as well as THC. THC dissolves in alcohol and all the other shit dissolves in water. I read somewhere that it has to do with polar and non-polar particles, but to explain simply: Less moisture=Good.

let it dry COMPLETELY leaves and all,then you do the leaves and the buds and voila after the hexane dissipates you will have concentrated thc for your consumption

Alcohol is semi polar and will dissolve a lot of the "other shit" as well. but anyways Ive got a nice drying box set up w/ fans and a 2 pound bag of silica crystals. Should be dry in a few days.

I did toss the fan leaves out but I didnt trim the buds real close sense its all going in the coffee grinder.

you say you've never grown before and youre just saying things you dont know much about?

If I where you, I would be cutting all the moldy bits out NOW, if you don't the mold will spread to the entire bud.
