My first grow and it sadly turned south this last week. I was all but ready to harvest but ended up pushing it a little too far I guess (this is an outside grow obv). We had a very rainy week and I covered her with a light plastic tarp which seems to have kept her dry but prevented the needed airflow.
So...
Can I salvage any of the buds that don't have visible mold? I picked them apart and the moldy ones seem to just have issues on their outside tips. It seems like the outer buds may have molded because they were touching the tarp and that the insiders are still good but will they stay that way? I trimmed off all the offenders and I still plan to harvest the stuff that doesn't yet have any mold signs. Is this still dangerous to smoke? After cured are there ways to tell if the buds have dangerous spores (assuming they look okay visually)? What kind of mold do I have? It seems to be diff from white and gray molds (and “bud rot”) that show up in image searches.
Thanks all!
Pics below of the good the bad and the ugly. It seems to be about 85% still good. One of the pics is of the only moldy stem. The last 2 pics are of an unmolded healthy cola and of the plant after being trimmed back.
