Washing Buds
Lysidiousstarted grow question 4y ago
So I live on a dirt road that has a lot of traffic. Never washed the buds before but Iโve been reading about people doing it and getting good results, but that was back in 2014 on forums, havenโt seen anything else.
Has anyone tried it and what were your results.
Thx for readin

I have it works great. Need 3 5 gallon buckets or larger. First bucket water with 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide3% 1/2 cup of baking soda and squeeze a lemon in it and mix well. The other 2 buckets just water. Wash buds gentle for 1-2 min then do a double rinse. Shake buds off and hang. Change the buckets as needed. This mix works great not just for a wash but powdery mildew.

First harvestWelcome to the members. It will be my first harvest. How much time do you think you have left? I asked this question a week ago, but the flowers swelled up a lot in a week. Can you leave 2 more weeks? In such a case, should I start washing with only clean water with a pH?Buds. Other

Prioritise mature buds, vs the younguns? Bare in mind I HAVE a 85w (To my 125w in use) - It's just not mounted yet, and economically dont know if I shI have plants germ' at the same time but in different stages of life.Is it recommended to decrease to 10 hours Light (125w LED - IR/UV/Full Spectrum) JUST for the 4 plants that are ready, which'll weaken the younguns. Pics 1 & 2 show sort of my problem, there are younger 1s still4y ago

Purple GorillaGreetings all, new guy here. Have an outdoor Royal Gorilla in a 15 gal clay pot @ 19+ weeks showing purple sugar leaves and trichs for a few weeks. It has been suggested that low phosphurus (not likely) or low temps (possibly) are causing this. Sorry about the blurry photos.Buds. Other
