I'm glad to hear you like the foxtails when it happens. I had a foxtail in my grow last year too. I found trimming a pain but it does grind up nicely and there is no shortage of sticky. I hope hope hope that when scope these dried buds there is no sign of mold. This is supposed to be heavily indica and sleep inducing with its sedative effects. I hope that the foxtails bring me extra!
Mr Krip, I skimmed past the water cure earlier when I was rushing to get the harvest done. I decided at the time that it was just too much of a learning curve for me. I have re-read the method and it certainly sounds interesting. I might experiment with a portion next time I harvest, just to see if I can do it. My buds are dry and I have jarred the majority (lid off and on its side) with a handful still drying. There's hope yetCarm,
One more suggestion I just remembered....
Assuming we get to a harvest, you may want to look at "Water Curing" which is supposed to help with moldy bud.
I had read about this years ago and almost never see it done:
Thanks for sharing that.
Not the soil I buy. I mixed it with used soil, potting soil and amended it with Essential Blend. I think they came from the potting soil. The beetles are plentiful at Christmas time and I think probably contaminate the garden pots, where the potting soil came from. Another mistake I won't make again
Will be looking forward to your smoke report 
I'd recommend waiting a few extra days and have another look with the macro lens before you put them away for any length of time.
I thought to do this and then I got lazy. I thought to myself it won't make matters worse if I seal it up and check for mold before smoking when I open it up again. It's really just my lazy meter kicking in, and I don't know who's lazy meter would be laziest in a lazy meter competition GDB, but I'm putting money on mine. Lol, oh dear (eg I don't even water my plants
)
Thank you broe, hold thumbs it is kiff and not moldy in a few weeks time!
Next up is Barney's Farm Skywalker OG Auto! I really like that high man. I will start that run in May after relies return to their respective homes.Thank you Otter! Yes, onward to the next one
Thank you Lexi!Awesome harvest Carmen, thank you for such a detailed journal
The advantage is that one moldy bud this week spreads to an entire jar full in a month. But your harvest, your lazy meter!
You may be right. The way I looked at it is that if there is mold on one, then I will throw out the lot. I think if there are spores on one in a sealed environment, then chances are that there are going to be spores contaminating the rest and it won't be advisable to keep any of the material from the jar. My lazy meter is about doing away with unnecessary complication rather than avoiding tasks
There already was mold on one and you kept some of the plant, so I'm not following your logic... as long as you are! I think you understand my point though.
Do you mind teasing this idea out with me because I am not 100 % sure of my choices. My thinking about salvaging part of the plant is that there was no evidence of bud rot on three of the branches, only on the one. Other growers salvage parts of plants when bud rot is discovered, so I thought that I could try that too. I was careful to do one branch at a time. If there were spores present, the handling of the flower and the jarring of it would contaminate all of the material I would think? Does that make better sense now, or am I still missing the point?
As I mentioned early on, I don't believe that's bud rot. It looks very much like the mold on my Tin Can Kush which had no signs of bud rot during the grow or at harvest. Only after a week hanging did the white strands appear in the flowers. And it looks similar to what Amy had on hers that she also dumped when she spotted it, so I would consider this different from chopping out botrytis, dousing the area with H2O2, and moving on.
Oh I see now. I thought that the consensus was that it was bud rot and I thought the photos supported that. You disagree and think that this is a different mold altogether, similar to the Tin Can Kush's mold and Amy had a similar issue. From the tone of your comments, I think I made a mistake to salvage parts of the plant? Am I right? However, if there were spores on the flower going in to the jars, it can only spread right? So is it logically correct to suggest that if in 6 weeks there is no evidence of mold in the weed, it can be considered safe for consumption? Or do you think it is safer to throw away the whole lot?
My question would be whether a close up view of the bud rot showed the same strands as in your original close-up. If they did then I'm wrong and you can proceed with your plan.
I was merely recommending not sealing it up and putting it away so quickly without additional inspections, that's all.
I think if no potential spores have generated the mold you saw then it would be no different than us using any other plant that looks visually clean upon inspection. My suggestion was to wait a bit longer before walking away for a month.
I didn't get any close enough pics of the "rot". I just zoomed in on the photos I took with my phone I think and I don't see that level of detail.
I'm still burping it daily so I could do another round of photographs if I have to. It's not easy to get the buds in proper focus with the macro lens though. Depth of field is poor and so are my eyes. The shots have to be focused manually.
I hear you. Perhaps I should try the other lens and see if zooming on those shots shows anything. It can be hit and miss unless I am able to assess every bit of surface area.
Your journal and super awesome pictures don't seem to reinforce this theory though, looking forward to seeing your next grow whenever that may be!
