cleaning the bugs out

[stoned-monkey]

ok first outdoor crop for me and she looks beautiful, but there are little bugs, hairs, fuzzes, and the things that make the outdoors great. I maybe spoiled with my indoor grow being so clean but the thought of smoking that extra crap isn't that appealing.
I have done bud washes, well more like rinses, and was thinking that's probably the route I was going to take.

was also thinking that when we have a "warm" day I could rinse the whole plant off while still alive in the ground shake it then let it sit in the sun and high 50's F for the day, maybe two, then chop. maybe a mister with h2o2/h20 mix to help inhibit mold growth. but worried about mold at these temps.

what do you do about the extras in your outdoor bud?

I tell them to fuck off and smoke what looks nice, then when that is done, I smoke the rest.

should I shout this or is a calm yet firm tone ok?

Like Thumper said, bud washing is the way to go with outdoor. If you are worried about mold spores, add a little H2O2, but plain water will get rid of everything else. Just a swish in a bucket, then hang in front of a fan for a hour or two. If no fan, smaller buds can be taken for a tumble in a salad spinner.

A light rinse and a gentle shake should work.
