What to do?

Some write ups say if you do the 4 bucket wash it is fine.

* 1st Lemon and Baking Soda
* 2nd Hydrogen Peroxide
* 3rd Warm Rinse
* 4th Room Temperature Rinse

I could smell the neem 2 weeks ago but I can barely smell it now. Mostly just the typical weed smell.

Thanks
Got any specs about the proportions of everything if using 5gal pails? I got a good lemon juicer and a fine strainer for it.

When you bud wash with lemon and baking soda followed by a peroxide then clean water rinses it'll be gone. Oils evaporate over time and especially with exposure to bright light and UV rays so it is basically down to carbon molecules by the time it gets rinsed.

I would be totally fine smoking bud treated like that. Not if it got a big dose of neem at week 7 but at week 3 it should be fine with a good wash. You can buy water soluble neem oil for bugs too so that might be a better choice and should rinse off easier.

:peace:
Put some oil and water in a sealed Mason jar and let it sit in the sunlight for awhile and I bet the oil is still floating on the surface.

Thanks for the replies but it seems the talk has gone a bit off topic.
The whole reason I posted was to ask if anything could be done with my plant now or should I just cut it down and through it away??

Only one person actually answered by saying don't cut it down so I'm still not sure what to do.... I know what and what not to do next time but would like to know if my plant can be saved at all please?

Thank you

i wouldn't cut it. how early did you spray in flower? fried pistils aren't fried trichomes. try the wash, dead easy.

i thought neem oil broke down over time (otherwise, why are people instructed to spray every other week?). granted, i'd still never use it in flower.

never heard of it being used for PM, but google says people do so i learned something today.

It was maybe about week 3

I think I'm going to just let nature take its course and see what happens after the 4 bucket wash. If it smells or tastes funny then will use it for something else.
Just seems such a waste to cut it down if there is a possibility it could still be okay.

Thanks

I saw lots of peoples write ups saying that they did it and just washed it off after harvest. Maybe they weren't telling the truth or something... I guess I will have to learn the hard way... Shall I just cut it down and through it away then? Thanks for the fast response
Use 1 tbsp neem mix with 1 tsp liquid soap( I use dawn but castle soap is the best) per gallon on flowering plants and it will keep the pistils white.

Don't sray 2 weeks before harvest and to do a bud wash i use peroxide and water in 1 bucket and plain in another, after wet trim dunk in peroxide bucket and swich around and then put in plain water, dunk a couple times and then sheake a little get excess water off, hang to dry and cure per what ever method your using.

I'd sure as hell keep it. I turn mouldy pot into oil and filter it thru a fine lab filter that will catch any spores. I don't waste anything I don't have to. My Scottish father beat frugality into us at an early age and Jah bless him for it!
