When I have contamination I throw it in the trash
If I had a weed centrifuge maybeDo at matter your environment. You wash away all terps and any other water soluble contents over the course of days. It’s really only necessary if you have contamination. It’s also only really practical if making edibles, but you can look it up. There are people on the form who do it for medical reasons and report that they lose all flavor/smell when smoking but they have their medicine they need. Also read that it increases potency(THC), because water soluble compounds are washed away during the water cure process.
Just goes against everything I've ever learned. Pure distilled water maybe I'd still like a centrifuge dry it and put in a ziplocDoesn’t matter your environment because after a water cure you can quick dry, even use a dehydrator if need be. Because the cure happens in the water. If one must go through the of effort contaminating their crop to stop other forms of contamination, water cure is an option.
This shit works for beautiful leavesCitric acid is interesting. That would wash right away diring water curing for making edibles.
Ohh!!! I gotta locate some of this. I consume citric acid on the daily.This shit works for beautiful leaves
How you know what kind of mold it is and if it's mycotoxines aren't soluble in ethanol?Have thought how to save a moldy crop is thc extraction with 180% ethanol and decab enough to make it safe to use as rso or hash, oil etc ?
toxins good point trash is trashHow you know what kind of mold it is and if it's mycotoxines aren't soluble in ethanol?
I don’t mean like homegrown or brick weed or anything between when I say black market. I mean like the dark trade black market internet consecutive individuals have told me about over the years. Everybody hatin on mids, I say bring it back.I understand the thought process very well. The need to save contaminated flower has nothing to do with the end consumer, especially when coupled with packaging your product in that manner. No doubt black market product wasn't always the best out there, but that should have been the point of legalization, to provide much needed transparency in an industry that relied on the opposite. Packaging your poorly produced product into a shiny blue liquid that tastes like candy doesn't progress the industry in a positive way, it puts us back at square one, with the hustlers and thieves.

What will it be soluble in that THC is not soluble in. Some who fart more than others are keen on water curing cannabis because of surface mold..How you know what kind of mold it is and if it's mycotoxines aren't soluble in ethanol?
That shit took a toll on my kidneys when I was exposed to that for some time. I would wake up because I was short of breath and it was a long time before any remediation was done to the home.Yeah
toxins good point trash is trash
no such thing as trash to stash
Better safe than sorry
Frontiers | Fungal and mycotoxin contaminants in cannabis and hemp flowers: implications for consumer health and directions for further research
Medicinal and recreational uses of Cannabis sativa, commonly known as cannabis or hemp, has increased following its legalization in certain regions of the wo...www.frontiersin.orgAflatoxins are various poisonous carcinogens and mutagens that are produced by certain molds, particularly Aspergillus species mainly by Aspergillus flavus[1] and Aspergillus parasiticus.[2]Aflatoxin - Wikipedia

Total yeast and mold (TYM) levels in inflorescences of high THC-containing Cannabis sativa (cannabis) are regulated to ensure that medicinal and recreational users, especially those with immunocompromised systems, are not exposed to potentially harmful levels. In North America, the limits imposed range from 1,000–10,000 cfu/g of dried product to 50,000–100,000 cfu/g
On a healthy looking crop devoid of testing of course
the solvent and decarb treatment seems like a extra step in sterilizing the product ?
@chilliwilli brilliant observation as sad as losing plants is theres worse things... ?
Went to the doc one time they said I had@acespicoli i know out of recent experience.
I tested some clean looking buds from a moldy plant. There were some uninfected buds that weren't touching a moldy bud so i thought it was safe to test them. But i got pityriasis rosea from it. I'm not 100% sure it was the moldy buds but it started soon after(iirc 2d) after testing them.
