Mouldy bud???

[nate88]

Hello all the last bag I got off my guy is a complete fucking shambles. He did warn me the plant was harvested prematurely. He wasn't wrong, but that's not my dilemma here. He doesn't grow it himself and he dont smoke it. So I have noticed a dusty/powdery substance on the "buds" that is a light brown colour. Ive looked but I can't find many photos to compare with. Im pretty sure it is powdery mildew. Has anyone else encountered this and knows what to look for?
The photos are taken with my $150 Nokia smart phone, I hope the quality is ok.
You can see the dust on the plate, and that's the closest I can get without full going full blurry. I genuinely believe he doesn't know what he is selling. I'm a firm believer in calling anyone out who knowingly sells bad bud with shit like pgr or mould.
It's my first post please be gentle

My eyes aren't the best but I don't think I'd smoke that

It certainly doesn't look good from your pics

I heard some dodgy people spray shit into buds to add weight. Like deodorant or fly spray or some shit.
When I’ve seen mouldy buds you sort of break them open and it’s all full of white or Grey shit inside the buds.

Unfortunately I had to take it as I don't have a reliable back up guy.

You might be able to salvage some. If it doesn't feel really dry now, dry it out.

Ive heard that too! I had a quick look at it before I said yes, just not a close enough look. I might have to carry a magnifying glass so I can try and properly identify the trichomes.
Now my grinder and my favourite bowl is most likely contaminated. My grinder is older than both of my kids put together

Looks like broken trichromes or just dust to me. Nothing wrong with the weed in those pics.

Easy way to find out would be gather a heap up and apply heat slowly. If it starts to “melt” it’s trichromes, if it doesn’t it’s dust.

Spraying it adds fuck all weight. I’ve heard of people gravox’ing the buds to add weight but.

Um what?

Never had it happen to me, but i have heard of cunts adding sand to make the weight up. Was a bit of a thing in the 90's-00's..

I don't think you can really call this weed. As I said it was picked prematurely, it honestly looks like leaf! I've never been sold stuff like this before and he's been my guy for years. I was reassured this won't happen again.

I’ll have an ounce please .

You want fly spray, gravy or sand with that?

My mate got sold gravox bud once. I couldn't believe it.

 

[Harry bootlace]

Doesn’t look mouldy to me.


Oh once I had some small insects lay zillions of eggs in my buds. It went white and powdery when dried.

But but but ….

What next? Spam hash?

It’s leafy instead of calyx’y. Probably a combination of grower skill, genetics and environment (Mostly genetics and environment) with a. Shit trim job on top.

It’s still weed and smokable. I’ve seen worse

 

[Harry bootlace]

I’ve smoked way way way worse haha
Or worse than gravox though

Spot on about the calyx's, from what I understand is they are supposed to swell up? I'm guessing all the good weather in Melbourne at the moment isnt making things easier.

What's this gravox thing? Never heard of it..

Take ya 1lb if bud. Spread about 1/4lb of gravy powder over it and “shake” it Into the bud structure. Bag the bud. The moisture in the bud will set the gravy powder solid in little brown crystal pockets.
