What is it? I spottet something strange on one of a lower flower branch. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? Shit from burgundy snales or mice? Rat poison on it? I took away all of the visible dirt but I‘m not sure if it‘s a good idea to use these flowers later.

That's weird, isn't it? Looks a bit like caterpillar poo. In two pics out of three, I can find leaves eaten by what looks like a caterpillar. Just shake it off, then use tweezers to remove any more. Don't let it rain on it before you clean it off... that's when I wouldn't want to smoke it. Now is fine if you remove it all. You can even dunk your branches in a large bucket of water and shake off any remaining undesirables at harvest. Then shake off excess water, hang in a fan or breeze out of direct light to dry the water off. Then dry, cure and smoke as normal. It should be fine. Good luck and well done getting your plants to this stage.

This is caterpillar poop and the eaten leaf only confirms that. Clean the flower as much as you can and scout around, mostly under leaves or inside buds. By the size of the shit, it's not a small one, so you should find it semi easily. Do not leave it, you will take a big hit, so try find and clean asap. Just a little info on the owl pellets UV mentioned. Those are usually the size of a small to medium bud and will be mostly fur and bones. My dad is an ecologist and he used to collect them to see what the owls in that area were eating. It's definitely not that, so you can rule those out.

I have done a little digging, as there are only so many things that make neat pellet like things. Interestingly, I found some info on owls that made more sense given the odd size/location. Unlike fecal pellets, owl pellets are formed from undigestible parts of their food, such as fur, bones, feathers, and scales. These pellets are coughed up by the owl after eating a meal. Smaller pellets possibly come from a smaller owl. The varying shape and color of the pellets are formed based on the particular diet of the species' locale Literal entire thing about different owls and different pellets. I have no idea if this is your cause and effect. But I can see an owl sitting in one spot just spitting out its leftover pellets to the foliage below. Good luck with the elephant.

Das könnte Kot der „Kohlweißlings Raupe“ sein. Wenn du alles Sichtbare entfernt hast, könnten die sauberen Blüten noch verwendbar sein, aber ich wäre vorsichtig :)
