Well you're supposed to use freshly harvested bud, I could only imagine using bud that's already been dried would ruin it.
Washing your buds after harvest?

Shit, I guess I forgot this post, I do this to all my harvests now , gentle wash with either water or H2O2 infused water depending on if it had mold or whatnot. Weed tasted the same, great tasting lemony golden goat , same high no weird discoloring like this other person is saying just lime green dank nugs after the dry. I recommend to do to buds if you have had to spray anything on them or if you just want to clean dust off you can spray gently as well just put directly infront of fan until dried then cure normally.

I've sprayed my plants with a water hose many times. Just before harvest I give them a good washing, especially if I've used neem oil, or a sulfur burner on them. My indoor plants get moved outside and sprayed, then I let them sit in the sun to dry off. Then I harvest.
I'm not talking about Powdery Mildew or other fungus, any plant with that gets cut out and trashed. That shit is nasty!

for getting rid of pm .....which I have NEVER had(touch wood) then yes but I fail to see how this would not effect the trichs in particular......any handling of trichs usually harms them ......so......how can this better a perfectly good plant........

Have you ever processed IWE's ? If you have you know you need to freeze your plant first then you process and its a much rougher process than gently dipping a plant in a water/h2o2 bath or gently hosing a plant off, you know it rains outside right?

I say just put it in the washing machine and scrub away all that glittering substance that the plant has.

I thought the washing technique was popularized by Doc Bud on 420.Pretty much all of the high brix growers practice washing. The main reason is because they use a good smount of foliar ferts straight through flowering. Most feel that the rinses improve the smoke and aid in even drying.
Ive done it several times and it certainly did no harm. On my last few plants i used the garden hose to rinse them thoroughly 2x before chop. I think i prefer the hose to the soak. I also use the foliar ferts.
The technique is discussed in great detail on 420.It has quite a few advocates. Suprisingly the plants dry a little faster after having been treated to a bud washing. The buds are dunked immediately after chop.

5 gallon bucket from home depot filled with water and h2o2(used ed Rosenthal water to h2o2 ratio) then gently dunk plant in, after dunking hang upside down with fan directly blowing across for 1 day or until no longer wet. After all that water is out I move my fan back a bit so it's not so much directly on and then cure/dry like normal placing into jars with boveta packs in 3-5 days or when nearly snappy stemmed.

You should definitely use a food grade bucket when using any chemicals, chemicals from the bucket will leak into the solution from cheap buckets.

You must live in California. In the real world a home depot bucket works fine. We are talking about a two minute soak or less in highly diluted H2O2 followed by an immediate rinse. This ain't rocket surgery.

As a governance scientician i use surgical grade stainless vessels....lol
For real though doc bud uses baking soda and lemon juice mixed together with water. He uses a hot (110°f) then a cool rinse.
I didnt know ed and jorge were into bud washing. Pretty sure doc bud popularized and maybe even originated this practice. Those guys should credit Doc for the concept. His posts about washing are from around 2012. The h2O2 rinses were aimed specifically at eradicating mold.
Lastly, Sierra makes a product that contain guillaja saponaria. It is useful for washing bud. It labeled SNS311.
