Hey guys. I harvested and dried and everything seemed fine, but while I was snipping the lady up for curing I discovered these white fibre like looking things. Now I’m worried if it’s mold. It smells normal. It’s only on 1 or 2 buds.

Related mold question: if I leave it for a few weeks and the it doesn’t change significantly, can I be somewhat sure it’s not mold? Because mold would spread?

Thanks a lot!

    It don’t look like mold, and I’m not saying it is or isn’t.

    BUT, there is many different type of trichomes actually, some do look like stringy/webby. Google can be your friend here use “different trichomes” as a stepping off point.

    The other Q though would be do you have pets or work around them? Could be pet hair getting in the goods.

          there are three kinds of trichomes in cannabis plants that I know of and they all look like trichomes whereas this here ist just long fibres of something without any visible liquid or other features. They’re only on 2 buds of the entire plant. It’s so clearly not trichomes. No need to downvote my first comment. I appreciate your help.

            Umm… maybe that’s why I said there is many different kinds of trichomes and do some research…?

            Not all trichomes have bulbous heads, some look like webbing, and mutations can happen randomly on plants.
