"water cure" your weed. it will remove the bugs and other stuff in the bud, but not the thc so the end result is pure and smooth

or you could probably just hold the bud under water and see if the bugs jump off - then cure the bud normally - just find that many people don't like how much of the taste disapears when water curing. Test with a single bud and keep under water to see if the little buggers jump off.

First thing would be to identifye the bugs. No pic so??? are they under your leaves? Very tiny? then spyder mites. just a big guess without pics

water curing is always debatable because its not used by everyone. some people got crappy results from it, i've had good results. BUT Brimi is right it will lower bud weight, if you do it right and dont rush it you will have some really potent and pure stuff, you will lose the bag appeal smell, and the smoke is really smooth. its not widely used but i do it to my personal bud. its not like the only thing you can do lol but it will get all those dead bugs off your bud and clorophil but it will NOT wash away THC
