I haven’t washed them sorry. But I agree with @bob31 take that soil and turn it into compost for use at a later date.

@tlc4235 yes. I followed the Jorge Cervantes method. 1 cup hydrogen peroxide to 4-5 gallons of water. I washed all of my trimmed buds, and then hang to dry. Even an indoor grow, there were things that come out of it. Makes me proud and can say extra care was taken from start to finish.

You said it like I would! The bud I washed is smoother and retains it’s lovely green color longer.

I do one bucket of peroxide/water and wash in there, then I have a second bucket of cold tap water I rinse them out in. Then hang them to dry with the fan on them until they are no longer wet and then trim/dry them to your liking

@MattyBear thats how i watched them doing n video but he had 3 five gallon buckets swished around n first then rinsed n 2nd and dipped one more time n 3rd…
You can take an extra step if you want. I think I know the video you’re talking about and he had lemon juice in one or something. I haven’t tried that before because I haven’t had to. Or I’m just lazy lol. @Myfriendis410 is right though on the smell and color you get with washing. Mmmmm. So good, haha.

I totally get that. I’d wash them the same way as he video for your first time if you can. If not, 2 tubs worked for me just great. If they aren’t nasty and covered in hair/dust etc., then you can harvest without washing and pick stuff off with tweezers as you see fit.

Everything except mildew which is why I do it. Peroxide of that dilution ratio is safe for washing food and the ONLY effluent from it is more oxygen haha!
