i wanted to start a thread about a problem i am having, thought i would post here instead...
so i have these buds a big stash! some of them are smelling different than others, i cannot by any way see anything on them. just that they smell different, not as nice. i have been sniffing them for hours, trying to tell if it's PM or mold but it's just not conclusive! i can't tell if it is the normal change in scent while curing or if it is PM or something. how can someone tell if he has PM when it can't be seen? i removed them from jars spread them trying to dry them further, and i am worried. losing this stash would be awful! if it is PM in the very early stages, could it still be removed by blowing air on them? how does PM really smell? i remember that i had PM once before but then, i could see powder flying out when i flick them, not this time... what do you guys think? can i determine if the its mildew with a microscope?

You should be able to determin if its pm thru a scope..Open up a bud that smells funny and examine..

what would PM look like under a scope? does humidifying overdried weed using a wet napkin in a jar cause a change in smell? cuz i did that when i thought i have overdried them... i still cant see any powder flying off but smell is the same, i have them spread out and drying and will examine them under scope just not sure how to determine PM presence. last resort will be i will sink a single bud in clear water to see in any powder would be seen just not yet. help would be greatly appreciated!
