As soon as they develop buds I check them every day for mold. In both of my grows I discovered mold one day before the planned harvest and had to throw away some of it.

When the buds grow denser I even bend the bigger ones a bit to check its cores. I do this with rubber gloves or skewers because it’s so very sticky.

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.

That it is or could be a menace

Nah the one is a terrifying freaky humanoid shrimp monster without any social skills and the other one is Dr. Zoidberg
