Is this mold?

[ManWithWrench]

I would like to believe it is not but I am worried it may be. It is my second grow and it seemed to go well without issues. It dried in about 5 days in varying temps 67->75 degrees and around 50% humidity. It was a small plant. I just want to make sure it isn't mold before i finish putting it in jars.

Looks like resin to me

Looks like resin to me too. When I have had mold, it looks like stringy gray spider webs (almost) through the loupe. I think it’s ok. If it’s freshly cut you can wash the buds using the following method:
1. 1 part hydrogen peroxide 3 parts water
Swish the buds in mixture for one minute
2. 1tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp baking soda, 4 cups warm water swish the buds around for about a minute
3. Swish the buds around in cool water
4. Swish the buds around in cold water
5. Drain and dry.

I use the Tupperware sold at the dollar store I get three containers and a strainer. After each step I strain the buds and place in the next container. When I finish the final product is really smooth and nice smoke. If you grow outdoor this takes off all the dust and debris and if you don’t have mold you can skip the peroxide step.
There are videos on you tube that show these methods. At first I thought it was crazy to wash the buds, but now I am a believer and do it every time!

That is very interesting. I was worried because of the pointy growths that look like headless trichomes, even on the stem. I would have never thought to wash the buds. Do you think washing will make them less potent?

That's interesting, I might try that out on some and see what I think.
