Ok so last harvest I saw this on my buds & I chucked a pound.This harvest, I only see a tiny bit of it on sections, but its on every bud. Wth is it & does it all need to go in the trash again?
Looks like single strands of fishing line in the voids. There’s nothing “fuzzy” anywhere, just these weird single strands. And you really gotta use a microscope to even see them. Of course I’ve been vaping it for a week now
I seen a video a breeder posted where he was showing how sticky and gooey his buds was. He crumbled one apart with his fingers. He showed how sticky fingers were by sticky his index to his thumb. When he pulled them apart there were goo strings sticking to his thumb and index.
Do you have a scope 60X will show them on the underside of the leaves if you have Spider critters mites, They are very small and will see them crawling kind of fast at time, and there will be claer round eggs all around depending on how bad infestation is.
They will look like this
Yea it’s on half the buds so it’s not hair or eyelashes. Maybe it is resin
@STIGGY Saw no white spots. These were already harvested/dried & now curing a week. I was on top of checking leaf bottoms the entire run with loupe & scope.
So what’s weird is there is no “webbing” between the strands. It’s just individual strands.
Anyways glad to hear I can keep it, it’s reallllly good. Little bummed that I could have kept the last harvest too, RIP Chem D x Purple Punch
To me that looks like fibers or hairs or stuff like that. Spider mites web would be attached end to end. Beware, it’s easy to be scared watching outdoor buds x60
If the “strands” were just the beginning stages of bud rot, would it continue grow over time curing in the grove bags? Figure I’ll at least keep an eye on it for a bit, make sure it isn’t duplicating strands.
I’m no expert on bud rot but I believe it is a mold which would continue to grow given then right temp/humidity.
Do you have pets? could easily be hair or fibers instead of spider/mites
If you had spider mights you would have probably noticed webbing over top of your bud too ! But you would have seen this if you had a loop or a magnify glass.
I had strands like that when I had the 5 day power outtage over the summer and most the plants molded. My thought is that’s the beginning stages of mold but does it smell good?
Sort of looks like some a high-brix exudate… if you touch a couple buds together, do they create similar strands when they are pulled apart from each other?
