I guess I messed up during the drying process. Such a beautiful cola, too, but I forgot to take a pic before I noticed the mold - at which point I just started peeling away chunks at a time ☹️

What a bummer.

    What were your conditions? You should keep the air moving at all times.

    Where I am it’s stupid dry, so I have to leave stuff on the branches or it’s over dry in days.

      It was towars the upper edn of 50% humidity , and I had air moving around the room, but not specifically for this purpose ans I think with the level of humidity I should have had a fan or dehu going. I think it might work well when the weather is actually more wintery than it is now, but until then I have to be more diligent

        Huh.

        I usually set my exhaust fan to turn on at 60%rh and my humidifier (if I use it) to turn off at 55%rh. I keep my upper and lower canopy fans going 100%, but you want the RH to be up, but that’s why you want LOTS of indirect airflow.

        You want a sealed climate, so a grow tent or you can rig up a tote if it’s a small enough batch or something.

        I’d guess that there was already mold in the bud at harvest. It looks like a lot and I think it takes a few days for mold to spread that much.
