Just a few aphids, and ONE seed.

won’t that wash away the trichomes?

I wash all my outdoor bud in 5 gallon home depot buckets with a cup of peroxide mixed with water. Rinse with clean water before I hang them.

I'm anal about my outdoor and I like it super clean. You pick up dust, small dead flies stuck to bud, mildew not seen by the eye. The rinse cleans them up nice and sets the tone for a good cure. The peroxide gently sterilizes and strips away any surface mildew (as long as they're not covered in powdery, then your screwed).

This doesn't impact my bud potency in any way. Trichomes and oils of the plant act as a protector and water repellent.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Years ago when I heard about this practice I thought it was ridiculous. It's not. You said yourself you have aphids. What about the bugs you can't see? It's like cleaning fruit. Many some others will chime in on this.....

Wow dude beatmkj

Wow dude that sounds awesome I never thought of it. And it doesn’t effect the trichomes or promote mold or anything? I’ll probably do this.
And so then the aphids as long as they aren’t a mega infestation shouldnt be too big of an issue?

Does not hurt it one bit. You'll see any mildew present will then float on top of the water like an oil. Tiny flies stick to sugar leaves and die. Cleaning outdoor bud is a must in my book. I rinse them off and fling the excess water off and hang them. I treat my outdoor like I'm making wine. I have a very low tolerance for contamination.

My kush should be coming down in a week. Already cut my strawberry milk. Doing try trim on that now.
