I am just gutshot. After 2 months of patience, an all the care that goes into a crop, I got my first taste of bud rot.
The strain I am growing is Dinafem Shark Attack.
I brought it back from the dead (DWC reveg), and this is my first run in my full hydro setup, under 2400w.
This strain makes the hardest, fattest colas I have ever pulled from hydro. I was thrilled!
It's harvest day, and I found mold. At first I thought it was only a couple small nugs, and, indeed, those are the only ones that can be seen with the naked eye.
However, if I get out the 60x scope, I can see a few white hairs, here and there, in and among the trichomes. This seems to be prevalent all through my crop. Otherwise, the buds look great, and smell fine. No nastiness.
I have read quite a bit about bud rot, and the jury seems to be out on the dangers of smoking it. That said, I do have a conscience. I care about all the people who smoke my herb, as they are all close friends.
Long winded explanation, simple question for the experts out there.
What would you do?
I can stomach chucking it all, if it poses a threat to my people.
I sure as hell don't want to do that. But if that is the consensus, then out the door it goes.
I can try to take some pics but they won't show much, I'm afraid.
Please advise, and thanks in advance.
Regards
