I also just finished up one of my Super Skunk plants. Hanging in the back closet and looking really fresh.
I too started out with a gentle touch but adapted as I went. Since I was concerned about little spots of PM on this plant I started with an dunking in an H2O2 solution , followed by baking soda/lemon bath , then the rinse. I got the hang and feel of it quickly and finished feeling good about it seeing what was coming off in the buckets.
I will probably eliminate the H2O2 next time (possible overkill) but this one plant had some PM in week 6 of budding so I figured it was a good test plant for the H202.
Thank You @david1954 , @Aquaponic_Dumme and to all in this thread for covering this step ( that I had never considered ) I love learning from all of you .
