Middle of US , Midwest ILgood practice depending on where you live
Yea I won't skip it if I'm doing outdoor ' what about for indoor tho? Do u guys wash buds after indoor grow ?good practice depending on where you live
I'm gonna do it for sure ' I don't wanna be smokin bug shit lolDon't make the mistake of washing the buds vigorously, do it gently with multiple tubs and take special care drying after. You need to wash right after chopping and pay special attention to drying afterwards or risk getting everything moldy due to not enough circulation. Too much circulation may also dry them too fast.
If there is mold or PM present, the first bath (strongest concentration of h202 to water) you will see fizzing sort of like when you put hydrogen peroxide on a cut to clean it. The next two weaker baths clean it further and then the water only bath rinses the h202 off. You'd be surprised the crap that will come off the buds.
Think about all the airborne dirt, pollen, flies, worms, ash from fires, and other shit that could be on there. Thc isn't water soluble so unless you are murdering the buds during the wash you are fine
If skeptical try it on just a few buds one year and see what's left in the water (also helps take residual pesticides /herbicides off) and decide tor yourself
I wouldn't be surprised if it took away some terpenes though (like water curing)
Water curing from what I've read will make the bud almost tasteless but smoothen it out if it is harsh
That buzz from fresh insect poop... YUM! lol j/kI'm gonna do it for sure ' I don't wanna be smokin bug shit lol

Yeah I just don't remember the dilution ratios to what % h202That buzz from fresh insect poop... YUM! lol j/k
