I use the 12% food grade h202 diluted at a higher concentration, nothing else added. I may soak the plants for up to 24 hours depending on if I am treating for something specific like WPM.

what is your ratio for the 12% to water

and wait, you soak the buds for 24 hours? really?

i dont have any bud rot or anything major, just want to clean the plants and rid them of any bugs, dust, etc.

I use the 1.5 cups to 5 gallonsā€¦ I only soak it 24 hours for White powdery mildew or an infestation

Yes, baking soda and lemon juice in one bucket, and two rinse buckets of pure water. I did it the first time my last harvest. It was indoors, but still the water was dirty. Iā€™ll do it from now on.

OK I need to harvest now but right now my fridge is full of our 1st big plant. So I can let them sit in H2O2 and water for 24 hours will be ok.

Do growers wash both indoor and outdoor grows? I am about to harvest my indoor grow and am curious if it is something I should consider.

All youā€™ll have to do is wash your bud once (indoor or outdoor) and youā€™ll always was it.

Iā€™m an indoor grower and always do a bud wash. Trichomes are super sticky and attract all kinds of things. Youā€™ll be surprised with the gunk that comes off flower, even with an indoor grow.

I do the Jorge Cervantes bud wash which is 8 minutes in 5 gallons of water with a cup of 3% peroxide then rinse, drip dry and dry as normal.

Oh yeah; hereā€™s a pic of ONE plant washed from an indoor grow (although we were having wildfires all around us at the time)
