Hillbilly ( @RealMed ) used to wash his outdoor crop to clean it of bugs, bird shit and crap like that, i think it was just a case of dunking it in water a quick swirl and then hanging to dry, i don`t really think its called for with indoor crops unless you been spraying it with summink myself.

 

Aaah so RealMed is Hillbilly!! dam, I didn't realise when he posted welcome. Now I understand why he was so peed off when they stopped him growing outdoors! Hillbilly was legendary with his outdoor grows.

 

edit - sorry I got off topic - I've never washed my outdoor grows but usually hose them down all the time anyway so they would be nice and clean mostly :)

Good thread @Chew I never used a filter for my intake before until I got my loop then I noticed bad loft dust on it...

After that time I always have the wife's tight on the intake and never any dust apart from the oscillations blowing on me pots..

I am thinking of making oil when I manage to get my game on and thinking of washing the buds. .

What cups do you use or what size would ya recommend?

lol being from a nation known for our brews, I have so many different sizes :D

Thanks for the share buddy and hope your well

In the U.S. a cup is a standard measure :)

Customarily it's half a U.S. pint, and legally (such as when used on food packaging) it's 240 ml.

I did but found after looking at it with a micro cam. that it did knock off some tri-co, and wasn't worth it.

Great thread Chew, there's a lot of potentially dangerous dust in the air, especially in cities.

 

My outdoor stuff in Northern France gets plenty of free washing, no point in washing it again, bird shit and the odd bug just supplement the flavour.

 

All good things
