Is this mold?

Hey guys

I’m 7 days into a lotus cure and noticed this looking kind of off? Now these did start turning purple as they were being harvested so maybe that has something to do with it? These are still drying in the fridge but they are separated just in case

Looks like the bud rot photos I have seen here. What does it look like when you break it open?

I’d gently pry around in the dark area and look for signs of mold. Up near the tip looks vaguely suspect, probably worth inspecting more closely.

Agreed. Open her up!

Better to let them get too dry than to get mold.
Put it in a paper bag and when it’s dry make edibles, or grind it up, decarb and eat with a spoon. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Sprinkle on your food if you don’t like the taste.

Just read about it, yeah I get ziggys drift, but check your airflow… & humidity…

I mean humidity in the fridge is actually low like 30%. When I put it in a jar to test it it’s reading about 76%. So according to Dr Ziggy it’s not ready to be jarred and cured

hope you’re doing this because the other options are too warm/dry…

the struggle is real & all that :sweat_smile:

but my experiment with drying in the freezer had the bud smelling like freezer :face_with_raised_eyebrow: no bueno

Yes it’s my only option. And to be fair, temperature was 40-45 degrees, not the freezer
