F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leaves

Hey, I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many. I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk. Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?

I do bud washong on all my outdoor grown weed, I wash them the same day they are cut, I dry them whole or in main branches. I spin them out in the shower and it does them fine. I will say it can lower the terps a lot. Its not 100% way to get them off but also before harvesting try spraying them in the shower with a jet or something to knock them off. Google on how to bud wash, there are normally 3 buckets filled with various things from backing soda to lemon juice and plan water.

Hi there fellow grower..With my outdoor grow, there was plenty of different bugs attacking my buds lol...especially during flowering..unfortunately we can't use pesticides or anything like that! But a hidden secret is...Coffee Grounds hehe...I know it sounds crazy! But it really works! ..try it...Or even grind up some fresh coffee beans and mix it into your top soil...You will thank me later 😉

Dozens would not take long to get off by hand with a nice pointed tweezer. It depends on how many dozens you’re talking about here obviously but a few dozen, pick what you can, smoke the rest. Smoked my fair share of bugs stuck to my outdoor grows especially. Taste like chicken. Lol Adding the risk to get mold far scarier than a flew bugs going up in flames.
