Hi! Hope you're doing well :)
I got confused with your pictures of your bud washed. Why did you wash your buds? :) I'm new at growing, so now I'm wondering if I should wash my buds too :p
@MrBz21, Hi Buddy, yes I always wash my buds.
To begin with I don't have a grow house as i made one my self out of foam slabs. So filtration of dust and other air particles including here and there some snoopy insects that get in. Now its not all the time that you will be able to catch them or so much about it. So to Have a clean plant after its already flowered its much better to smoke rather than dust and other fine particles that could sit on the trichomes. And again i don't just use filter water to wash the buds and plain water wont do anything much. I make a 3 part solution and wash them and Honestly at the end of your wash u will be amazed to see what all is left and the color.
And the big question you might have is will it affect the trichomes and the answer is TOTALLY NO!!! as long as you dont slam the buds while washing. Just a few dips and let the water do the rest.
Sorry for the late reply as this was christmas week and was busy with family.
