Bud washing experience for a first time grower PIC

[Gee]

I thought I would share my experience with a picture. Mind you, this water yesterday morning looked like Mountain Dew. I did not take a before picture unfortunately. This was only from cleaning buds from one plant (Blue Dream that yielded quite a bit)

I know, totally gross right, but have you ever had sticky yellow paper out? See what that catches.

I should mention I have a situation where there are pine trees lined up behind my house that drop pollen. You can see it in the bucket. It is quite windy out here as well so this is possibly out of the norm.

Thanks Doc Bud....

I just posted a question on this.
Do you use your stash for edibles, or smoking?

Both. My top buds that are the dense and firm I use for smoking. The light and airy (larfy) lower buds I let dry and throw in the freezer until I’m ready to make dry ice Kief for cooking. Larfy plant material takes up too much space and is time consuming to manicure. That’s me though

That was my concern too. Get a Solo plastic cup and try it yourself ON A FRESHLY CUT BUD. Try it on a dry bud and the bud will turn to mush.

I wash all my harvests and the water always clearly shows the pollen, dust, etc that collects on outdoor grows. I fill my buckets to the brim...makes it easier for bigger branches and dilutes the dank
