This Could Be Useful Somehow...

Since mold is such a significant issue when harvesting/drying, this article from the New York Times caught my attention:

Anyone ever experiment with cinnamon?

the only downside would be the taste of cinnamon in ya weed after tho. they even said that they wrapped wit the waxpaper made of 6%cinnamon oil which leached to the bread slightly. i dont think cinnamon and weed go good together.

maybe it would work to eliminate mold on a live growin plant if mixed into a foliar type spray hoping that it rains or u can rinse the plant prior to harvest. wait then that would place moisture back on the plant before harvest inhibiting more mold. NM who knows maybe a lost cause.. lol any one else wit ideas?

Sugar in baked goods acts as a natural preservative and Cinnamon has very little sugar in it and used as a foliar spray should not affect the flavor of the final product as with all spices the flavor of Cinnamon degrades quickly if not sealed in a container and out of the light. that's why most Chefs and/or gourmet cooks keep stick Cinnamon on hand because in it's natural state it retains its natural oils,flavor and scent but once it is ground it starts to lose it's natural oils, flavor and scent very rapidly.
