Exactly
The oldest grow book I own is "Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Marijuana" by C. Castle. It was published in 1973. 28 pages of mostly misinformation, but it was a start. I purchased it in Portland Oregon in 1975 in a head shop, when pot was almost legal there. I still have my first bong that I purchased there at the same time. A "Triple Bubble" ceramic bong that we still use, occasionally.
Sorry. TMI. Sometimes I can't believe how time flies.

I started using this company's products after a friend introduced me to the head biologist at Cytozyme labs. My friend had told him about my gardening efforts. He really liked what I was doing and shipped me a selection of their products to experiment with. The results demonstrated clearly that these products WORK. Cytozyme has concentrated on agriculture around the world with proven success. They suffered in the early years of the company due to a poorly trained sales staff that were overzealous in their claims, but have since proven repeatedly that, applied in the correct amounts, they will pay for themselves many times in increased yields.
Nowadays, there are MANY(high priced) products that mimic Cytozyme's results.
Clean water from the tap. Pretty much like a medium to heavy rain. I stop spraying and washing when the buds are dense enough to hold water. Around here about the time dew begins to form in the mornings. I REALLY doubt that Bt is present in a heavier concentration than other bacteria. I don't think it adds to the total numbers of bacteria at all. I do use a product that actually feeds leaf surface bacteria which are crucial to some plant processes.(Cytozyme Foliar). I've been using that product for about 25 years. Ever look up how many bacteria live in your lungs? Yes, the products of oxidation aren't a good thing to inhale.(About 3/4 of my consumption is edibles.) Do you use foliar sprays of any kind? I do. Frequently. My normal foliar spray contains Bt, Cytozyme Foliar, fish emulsion, seaweed emulsion, Superthrive, small amounts of soluble NPK, and epsom salts. This mix has proven itself to me over three decades. On top of that, many people who have sampled my herb appreciate its lack of a 'bite'. It just doesn't force a cough, yet I'll put it up against anything else out there. This is my 47th year burning the precious herb. Several of my friends have smoked as long. They all have gone to clubs to sample their wares. I've never had one tell me my outdoor/greenhouse herb doesn't match or exceed the club's 'top shelf' for flavor and potency. Not to be pissy, but my experience predates nearly all the products and hype available today.Of course my buds will have bacteria on it, and Bt is a strain of bacteria. The difference is the number of bacteria cells present. I feel that it is unhealthy to inhale in such large numbers, and while cleaning with water probably would remove it sufficiently it would also remove trichomes and terpenes from them. I've done your exact process before and moved on because I don't like to wash them, but to each their own. How to do wash them exactly? Are you just spraying them with clean water?
