We’ve all been there, so don’t take it too hard. I am personally comfortable with anything that doesn’t have any visible mold, but I inspect everything pretty closely when I see it. If you’ve smoked brick, you’ve probably had worse
It all depends on you, your health, how comfortable you are with smoking it, what your current stash looks like…
One suggestion I have is if you are growing plants with dense buds, run them as dry as you can once the buds bulk up. If you push too much water on them, it ends up causing them to sweat it too hard in the bud sites and can give you moisture issues that lead to those problems.
Thanks for the feedback (and thanks to everyone else in the thread, of course). That’s kinda where I’m at right now. There were two or three huge (for me) colas where I found a mold spot, and I chucked those. I don’t smoke, but I do vape and make edibles. If it’s bad form to share this flower with friends because it shouldn’t be smoked, that’s ok — I’ll share next time. But, if it’s pretty low-risk, I’d love to salvage it and make my usual gummies/tincture.
This doesn’t help you now but I prefer to train my plants for 6-8 main colas. Insurance. If one goes bad you can save the rest. One big bud, it’s toast.
I also agree that as long as it looks fine it’s probably fine.
