Wondering if you guys wash your buds. Seen videos of ppl washing with lemon juice and backing soda. Does this matter?

First time reading this method. Typically read peroxide and water.

As an outdoor grower, HELL yes. Bug poop, mold, mildew, bug remains, eggs and dirt are very unappealing. 2 tubs- 1 with H2O2/H2O for washing and 1 with clean H20 for rinsing.

I wash too. 10 gal h2o with 32oz H2o2, then a 10 gal fresh water rinse. Side note-wet trimming weed after the wash makes much slicker. No scissor hash.

Does washing increase the chance of mold during the hanging/drying process? I didn’t wash any this year, but I am thinking I’d like to do it in the future. Don’t have an optimal drying area, just the garage/attic where it’s hard to regulate temp and humidity. Thanks!

After I wash, I lay my buds out on a towel and use fan to help remove water. I flip buds over every couple hours and after I am satisfied (about 6-8 hours) I hang up to dry.
