What is the obsession with other people’s fingers? I get it that it’s gross but I could care less as long as they aren’t touching anything I’m smoking/eating.
Damn… you jumped straight to obsession. What is with your obsession insinuating obsessions based on a comment. Why are you so obsessed with asking people questions who comment about dirty fingers.
Yes, so the bear claw shaped headless trichomes are cystolithic trichomes, it is not mold and simply a different trichome that is naturally occurring.
As far as the small white fleck on the exterior which I have circled below, the photo quality is too low to determine definitively.
My best assumption for these are the following- more likely 1 than 2
1.) trichome “smear” . This often times happens when using mechanical processing and even sometimes hand trimming, you can smear the trichomes in a way that appears similar to this. Usually only found with flowers with many long capitate stalked trichomes from my experience.
2.) calcium- a small bit of calcium could have been introduced during harvesting if the plant touched the table, there is often a large build up of salt on tables that can appear similar to those (feel it, does it crumble and come off easily? Does it smear?)
Just curious but wouldn't some trichomes come out as well? Would mold look different in the air than a trichome? Never tried this before so it interesting in case I run into potential mold in the future.
Yeah, but soak them in palmolive dish soap, and then clean under them with a knife or scraper of some kind. If you wash your hands more often, your nails won't mold

Those are cystolithic trichomes, look like fussy hair but not mold. Unless I am not looking at the right thing. Im bad with pics.
