Budwashing: My way

Hey everybody! I know these step by steps do exist, but im going to do a quick new one for anyone who would like to follow along!
I will be bud washing about half a plant. Ive done a few harvests in my time, but this is only my second bud-wash, and im going to do things a bit differently.
Ever since I bud washed 2 of my plants Chocolata, and GDP, about 3 weeks ago, I will ALWAYS budwash my outdoor plants... think about it...
You really wanna smoke bugs? Bird shit? Dust, dirt, debris? End of discussion. Its disgusting!!! So.. BUDWASH!!
My first wash I did 1 container water+h202. 2nd container warm water. 3rd container cold cool water.
Tonight im changing things up, im bringing the show inside and going straight to the kitchen sinks, and were going to change up step 1.
I will be spraying my buds, very heavily instead, 1part h202-4parts water. They will then sit on a rack for about 2minutes soaking.
My last wash, while washing a couple mildewy spots I noticed it really doesnt come off unless some-what wiped/scrubbed with your fingers. But this also wipes off the goodies.
Ive noticed that while spraying any mildew however lifts it up off the plant, and then can be washed away. I honestly think this will be a much better practice then dunking.
Then I will do a double rinse. Warm, and then cold. I will update this thread with my step by step pictures within the next hour or so, as il be getting the plant ready for washing within the next few minutes.
There isnt much mildew on this plant, but theres a spot or two I can use for examples.
 
Heres the godbud, about 2/3rds cut down. Gonna get a quick trim off all the big stuff.

Hey carp - I have been hosing my branches down fairly aggressively - this year I'm able to have the garden hose coiled up on top of the furnace hot water reservoir so the water is at least luke warm - do you think you lose many triches?? My stuff is so aphid infested that I have no choice and if I lose some triches I just have to live with it. I sometimes think I should just harvest the aphids and press them!!!

Im sure we do to a degree, just from the pressure of the hose/my spray bottle.
But trichs arent water soluable, and it takes very cold water to take them off (bubble hash)
Always be sure on your rinse to try not to bang your buds on the sides of the bucket
 
Well that took longer than I had hoped.
Wet trim is now complete, just waiting on the wife to get back from a midnight mcdonalds run and thel be going onto the wash.

Update.
After getting home from working, and doing an inspection of the nugs...
I am extremely happy with it.
Theres not a spec of mildew, anywhere.
Very pleased.
I will be using the h202 spray method with my wash from now on if I encounter any mildew in my grows.
Great outcome.
