Bud Washing

[Baybreeder]

The only difference is we add peroxide to the mix. You get a much better cleaning. The peroxide activates everything without having to stir yourself.

Sorry to burst your bubble doc...but my crew and I have been bud washing well over 20 years. That's the only way in the Bayarea.

Glad to hear it! You should have told us years ago.....

I only use peroxide if there was a problem with PM.....which there never is in my garden.

got any pics of your washing setup?

What is PM Doc?

 

[Baybreeder]

The peroxide is just an activator. It's just a simple set up with some buckets. Pm is a no no in my gardens.

Powdery Mildew

May you never find out what it is the hard way.

Cudos to you Baybreeder. Surprising though, because everyone I've brought this up with in the Bay Area and the Foothills looks at me like I'm nuts. Also, not one dispensary identifies any products as washed; which you'd think they would since so many other details are advertised.

It doesn't matter who started it, the thing is to wash 'em.

Oh no, I didn't invent it lol. An og grower showed me back in 1993. I work with a bunch of well known breeders from the bay. As a crew we all bud wash since the 90's.

I always wondered why dispensaries don't require Bud washing.

On the hot water... I've noticed some oily residue and a sharp, dank smell when introducing bud to the hot water bucket before it has had time to cool down a bit. After reading Graytail's response, I will use warm water instead of hot water in the second bucket.

I suspect it's because they haven't heard of it. Why don't you educate them?

 

[Baybreeder]

I highly recommend NOT to use hot water. If its hot enough you will for sure cook those trics.

Water curing works great also. You do loose some weight and smell. Nugs are rock hard and very smooth when smoking.

Trim bud. Get a large square container fill with distilled or reverse osmosis water. Put trimmed buds in water. Its better to weigh them down with something. Change water every day. Do that for at least 4 days. Hang dry in 75 degree room with fan. The longer you leave them in water the more flavor you lose.

there are terps that dissipate, disappear at around room temperatures..if you can smell it after the wash, there are terps being released.
-hot liquids dissolve more things than cooler..
