Man, I'd just call it a loss myself. I've got a friend who soaks/washes moldy buds in a very weak h2o2 solution then rinses them and leaves a fan blowing on them until residual moisture is gone then he makes water hash, but with the quantity you're talking about I doubt it's worth the hassle. I'd toss it.

lol...... i was thinking adding enough greencure to the ice water.... ... i would think the best bet would be iso.. but i dont like iso.... is there any proof butane kills mold?
imo dont smoke anything that has mold...

you can eat things that contain mold, like edibles or tincture... that sort of mold wont make you sick if processed even semi-well... people have eaten moldy bread without getting sick, its just a fact that mold isn't as bad for you to eat as it is to smoke. I say don't take the risk in smoking it. make a tincture or edibles.

Don't use Greencure, or iso (imo). H2O2 is the way to go, it will wash the mold away (or most of it anyhow). Then if you make water hash keep skimming the top surface of the water before you drain, that's about as clean as you're going to get it. Iso alcohol is a semi-polar solvent, so it will dissolve plant matter as well as some fungus, you don't want that. Butane is non-polar, so it only dissolves oils. You could do the wash I describe, then run some butane extract...

I'd still toss it though, for the hassle you aren't going to yield much. This is all without seeing how moldy it is.

Depends which type of mold. Bread mold won't hurt you at all, but there are many forms that if ingested will FU up. But I agree about smoking moldy product, I won't do it.

peroxide kills mildew but not mold i think.... its a large amount of trim... i dont wanna waste it... you dont think the greencure added to water would kill the visable mold and spores? potassium bicarb is water soluble to so very little of it should remain in the hash...

pretty sure that sort of mold that comes from buds wont hurt you after processed in alcohol in say a tincture ;).

probably wont taste the best, but there are methods for adjusting that.


maybe you can make BHO first, then a tincture....

It kills both, and will wash it away and will leave zero residue. I wouldn't do the greencure, honestly that would be my absolute last choice.

dude asked if he could use bleach in his bubble hash. what should i have said?
lol........ 2% bleach isnt fatal..... even iso hash is made from denatured rubbing alcohal in it.... basicly they put a lil poison in it... yet people make/smoke iso oil all the time... i dont think a 2% bleach would be enough to hurt you or kill you... only the mold... wasnt my first choice im just trying to salvage about 6 ounces or so of trim...
