Nah those are crystals clumps , the white is the sunlight reflecting on them , it’s hard to see in a photo
Malawi Style Cob Curing.
- Thread starter Tangwena
- Start date
The pictures are too out of focus to tell but seeing as you did not vacuum seal the bag its quite likely.

I didn't know that mold smells this great!
Wait so is mine mold or is it the paper that I had to unwrap some of it from and the crystals which I remember seeing with he naked before I put it into vacuuming before the vacation, basically I broke off many pieces of the drying buds on the third day and then squashed it extremely hard into paper, and then this plastic wrap bags completely wrapped and into the vaccume bag which my gf later helped vaccume pack it far better than the pictures I have on other threads.....
Those
not sure yours don’t have mould need a clear picture and close up , I was just liking the pictorial not saying it had no mould
Peace

It probably means you need to do more research before you speak out …
Just like you say “one cob was tested and so no cob ever will get moldy never ever”
You doing it again , but anyway … no one here has no cobs get mouldy .. or said they never do
this thread is how so we can avoid mould .. case studies in motion

Tangwena once explained this as a bloom/plume like in cigars, but please search for the topic, I haven't found any evidence for this theory that oil/sugar/salts migrate to the surface and crystallize. It is a topic that is seen as a myth.
In 2017 in a cigar forum someone sent cigars that were supposed to have this plume to a laboratory and only mold was found. Pipe tobacco was later sent in and mold was also found, but primarily it was bacteria that looked like mold to the naked eye.
It just bothers me that the crystal theory is taken for granted and I get a lab analysis as an answer and am called ignorant. Maybe if you take away the white spots the effect will be just as good and that it's just the fermentation over time that improves the effect.
After all, whatever it is, bacteria, mold or crystal bloom it is not terrible hazardous to the body.
Would love to be wrong, so please correct me if you have better evidence.

I thought trolls like you were a thing of the past.
Please take your ignorance to the kindergarten groups where people all believe in Santa and leave the adults to enjoy their life.
Whatever you believe is yours to believe but dont spout it in the grown ups section nobody wants to hear you.

I looked at it today again once I took it out, it looked brown, and smelled great!Nextgen, if it smells good and you did it as you said i dont think its moldbut a crystal winterland. but do take a closeup for the peanut gallery. Mold usually makes me want to sneeze
I don't see anything that could resemble mold when I saw it with my own eyes.... Then again there are people who smoke moldy cobs and they're fine so it is what it is... 
I have seen your comments on other threads its all about stirring up trouble you need to get a life of your own bro.
The word that you were looking for is ignorant just tag it on the end of the sentence you quoted.
I will not be responding to any more of your trolling.
See how the mould sparkles so eh? ..
lol
Not mould same shiny things shining .. that shine

Closest I can get it , these crystals must miss the compression proper
They on the outside of the actual “cob” those white shiny bits blobs of thc and trich stalks
Must also be said that Malawi is extremely resinous like shitloads

Sorry but what exactly is sweating, I'm reading everywhere about it but I still don't really get it?

I still haven't smoked any since my last early sample while the plant was still blooming...
One half joint a month, that's what I'm thinking of, I don't want to do it everyday because I need to save this stash until I can finally grow my other seeds, and I don't know what year that'll be (my story is complicated)Nextgen, Sweating is a higher heat moment where the water vapor comes off the material for a moment and is trapped inside the material as well.
And honestly i havent had great results long term how your doing it unless you dry it a bit now as it isnt vacuumed sealed and it isnt actually cobbed with corn or such, but do let us know your thoughts on it. Id make sure it was really tight and i hope its good, but invest in a vacc sealer someday if you can. Id tie that what you have as tightly as you can with paracord and itll be good imo.
