@Chunky what is your formula and method that you use on that rinse you are using? Do you rinse the big main cola's as well?

Outdoor crop gets a double rinse because everything sticks to sticky buds.
First tub has a quart of 3% peroxide added.
Second tub is plain water.

Just cut the plant into manageable segments, then swish swish, done.
Easiest way to dry is with paracute cord. (similar to clotheslines)

Would this also help fix the buds I have with PM? The trichs say they are ready to harvest but I found more PM than I thought. :-(

Edit: How many gal. water with the 1qt 3% peroxide?

Thanks for the info. I have tried it few times . The last time i tried it i was concerned i might get a mold issue with the large thick colas. I only grow indoors and my flower room is filtered well. I am not really sure i need to wash them.

The bud wash usually removes the PM on the surface. PM is systemic meaning it lives inside of the plant as well. I dont think a bath kills the PM inside of the plant unless you do a water cure (Im not sure on that one though). Also, PM is nonpathogenic to humans. I still think it shouldnt be smoked unless doing a bud wash (which again only removes it on the surface). If I have alot of PM or bud rot I make oil out of it using iso or ethanol which kills the spores (from what ive read).

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I've heard the "systemic" argument before, but I think it means the problem is in the "system", not the plant itself.

Some people here on RIU even went as far as to say that if you ever get PM, it's guaranteed to come back later in flower -- because it's "systemic".
I can tell you from first-hand experience that those "growers" were shoveling BS.

Fix the environment (system) and you won't see PM again.

Been there, done that.

Several times.
:peace:

The only thing ive heard of killing pm, systemically, is eagle 20 and that shit I wouldnt touch even with a yard stick. I listen to the dude grows show (wake and bake America) and the guy "guru" (studied plant biology) said its systemic and I believe that dude on almost everything. Ive never heard of fixing the environment and the pm going away. I have heard that if you have good airflow mold of any kind wont show up (it never has time to stabilize and colonize or something like). If youve done it id like to genuinely know how.

I wouldn't rinse indoor bud that's grown in an environment that stays clean.

My indoor grows have occasional visitors, so if I ever have to deal with "issues", I rinse @ the chop.
(The last indoor crop was clean so I didn't rinse. Turned out great... :eyesmoke:)

Fix the root cause and the problem goes away for good.

Treat the symptoms and you'll be dealing with it forever.

Same thing applies to bugs.
