I was just getting ready to comment this. I am a greenhorn by all means with no knotches under my belt but i did see this when i was bashing my digital microscope against my last round

Ruptured trichome turns into a gooey mess

Yea it’s on half the buds so it’s not hair or eyelashes. Maybe it is resin

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?

I noticed this on some buds with budrot beginning too.Just keep an Eye on it

My guess is no spider mites, just gooey of crashed trichomes, I had them and I assure you with a scope you would see them …

spider mites

Yea it smells like a bakery in the jar, its awesome & the high is my favorite of all time so far.

So with 2-3 people suggesting early stages of budrot/mold, I’m wondering if a pause in vaping is warranted I will do what @Andrexl suggested & keep an eye on it. It would progress if mold/budrot correct?

Maybe this batch gets turned into edibles or topicals. What do you think H.A.?

[Andrexl]

I would keep an Eye on this piece and if It grows It Is mold for sure.From your picture I can see that It Is developing Just like It did in different buds I got through different harvests,this Is a very early sign for what our human eyes can tell,later stages are a lot more evident.
Sorry for the bad news,Always breaks my Heart to see mold on buds

Is that the batch you wanted me to try? Save it, for worse we’ll infuse something with it.

If it is mold, it’ll look like cotton balls pretty soon, ask me how I know

@Gonzo Just wait and see if It develops like this so we can be sure,take that sample out from the other buds

I thought mites right away ,I had a similar thing with a few webs on a couple nugs. Looked identical to these pics .Those little shits are awful. You would see if u had a full blown infestation. Hate those things

@Originalweedman

Looked identical to these pics

Now that you mention it I have just seen those thin “hairs” in the preview of my video, could be mites as you say , a PIC of the plant if still existing would come handy. …

[Originalweedman]

I ll find it .It s from last seasons crop my Blackcherry punch plant had a few late . The did have webs in some of my buds but the retreated back to the leaves.I had a pic thru my loop that was similar.I ll look for it and post it when I find it.

[George]

Thanks, I was referring to the OP’s plant so we can look for some leaf damage, yours would come handy anyway…

[Gonzo]

Got a few from 12-14 days ago before It was chopped & dried.

After chop

[George]

Thanks for sharing, nice harvest, I don’t see any mite damage on them and also I would discard mould, I also had it and it is more consistent, maybe they are just some smashed trichomes while managing the buds …
