My phone always wants to change "DTF" to "STD". I almost hit post the other day when I made the comment "I am really digging the 'STD' and its effects".
I find the product is better than non bud washed buds. I occasionally do foliar sprays and I also see what the bucket looks like after I wash it. I won't every stop bud washing....even when growing indoors. When used in conjunction with the slow and low drying method.....it gives me the results I am looking for. I don't get it if I don't do a bud wash. Just my preference.
If you really want to figure out if its worth it.....next plant....do half of it with bud wash (either lemon juice and baking soda or H2O2....I use the H2O2 if there are any threats of botrytis on big, really dense buds as the H2O2 will prevent it from spreading if there is any tucked away where you cant see) and the other half with no bud wash. Then do a blind taste test afterwards. I did on my 2nd grow and I have been bud washing sense then. I won't "NOT" do a bud wash if I am doing a whole plant. I don't bud wash testers unless I have a bucket already ready from a full harvest.
Well another wash opinion and with testing results. Ok I'm in. I wouldn't have guessed a tent grow would have a marked improvement but too much evidence is showing to keep those thoughts. Thanks
Might be a run of clap about.
I didn't wash this bunch however listening to folks I believe I'll be doing it next time. I did wash with my outdoor grow last year and used the full recipe in the first few pages of the bud washing link h2o2 and all. The originator may have halved the recipe but I didn't get the memo at the time.
I used 5 tablespoons of 29% technical grade H2O2 in 4.5 gallons of water
I used to use 1:3 with 3% H2O2 but it wasn't killing the bugs on contact. This time I went 50/50 and I haven't seen a living thing.
If the numbers hold up I will have topped the weight. It's going to be close. The weight to beat is 20 oz.. It's going to be close.Beautiful sight of all those hanging branches otter...excellent! Love the hanging tree too. I'm sure you've topped your previous weight.
LOL!
