Hello. Been told that you can do a wash at harvest time that is good for getting best quality from your garden. As New grower washing after harvest seems strange. Any information on this issue would be appreciated :+1: :slightly_smiling_face:

Watch that you tube video. He explains it pretty well. What we do is mix some hydrogen peroxide in water in one bucket. Another with just water.

  1. I pull individual branches and trim the larger leaves.
  2. Dunk the whole branch and spin or swash it around in the H2O2 mix.
  3. Dunk it or swash it in the water only bucket.
  4. Jiggle or spin the branch to get rid of excess water.
  5. We lay ours in a dish rack on top of a fan to get rid of the excess moisture for about an hour the flip them all to dry the other side.

Quick question: What’s the H202:H20 mix ratio for the wash?

1 cup of 3% in 5 gallons. But it’s not critical. You could use 2 cups just fine.
