Is this mold? - Lemmy.World

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. 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.

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

Thanks. It’s not pet hair. I guess some kind of pests. It’s definitely not trichomes.
Why are you saying they aren’t trichomes?
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. No need to downvote my first comment. I appreciate your help.

Umm… maybe that’s why I said trichomes can be different and do some research…?

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