Colas with molded pieces(safe to cook with?) - Cooking With Cannabis - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

DimeBag65 · 10-25-2006, 10:27 AM

i have a nice lil pile of mainly top colas that had been damaged hence there are some molded pieces in the middle of the nugs. mainly good pieces but i didnt wanna take any chances of spreading so i cut out the whole piece.

i probly have 4 or 5 oz of molded nugs. if i were to cook with this what temps should i bring it up to to kill mold? when i add a lil water there is a bottom layer that forms under the butter of the crap or excess material, will it be pulled into this water area when i refridgerate it, or stay with the butter...

im just not too clear on any of this... any imput would be much appreciated.

should i try to snip out mosta the molded pieces? seeing most is good product. anyways please give me some thoughts! thanks Dime

That's a question I'm wondering on myself.. I'm planning on making some cannabutter from molded buds too.

well so far... im plannin on bringin the water temp up to approx 120C or 160F throw the buds in there for about 5 minutes let them boil. then add butter and bring down to a simmer. after i get the butter cooled and the bottom water crap off it... when i cook with it ill bring the temps up to where mold cant survive... and call it a day.

dime. i had a qp of bud go moldy on me and i thought i was fucked. i eventually decided to make cannabutter with it and ended up making a heapload of cookies. no one got sick from eating them and i was the most lifted i have ever been for 8+ hours. good luck.

well i have made about 3 batches of butter so far... each using approx. 2 oz of buds to 2 or 3lbs of butter. i let it cook for at least 3 or 4 hours and it came out Extremely potent. definately well worth making it from buds for the body and head high. Peace Dime

I'd cut out the molded pieces first.

I've made brownies out of slightly molded buds, with no bad side effects.

If you put a moldy bud in water and shake it, you can see the mold float to the top.

I was just thinking that if you put it in oil/water and strain the bud out, any spores left would float on top of the water. And when you freeze the water you could just scrape the top water off, along with any mold still left. Just my theory....

First dry the moulded buds so that you can crash them in a fine powder. Gently blow on the powdered weed, while stirring it. You will see most of the mould fly away. The rest will float on water, or get nuked over 140 degrees celsius.

iv been taking a plastic bag poking lotsa holes in it and lay down some screen in the bag... than run warm water through the buds and shake it real well... try to get as much off before cooking it as possible. after baking it in treates mold cant survive at those temps so im not too worried about it. it has been layin me out at night... definately puts ya to sleep after a pleasant body high.
