From my HB notes (copy & paste):

"Bud wash/rinse:
Three 5 gallon buckets. I like the first bucket to be white....but it's not necessary. I just like to see how dirty the water is getting.
Fill all three buckets with RO....a couple inches from the top.
To the first bucket, add 1/2 cup baking soda and just over 1/4 cup lemon juice.
Stir vigorously.
After harvesting the plant, take off fan leaves, dead leaves, wimply buds and leaves that look like they might rot. (shouldn't have any of these) Leave everything else on.
Dip into the first bucket, with the lemon juice and soda. Agitate the buds up and down, try to spin them....make sure they get good and saturated for at least 30-45 seconds.
Gently pick them up, let them drip and drain and put them in the second bucket for 30 seconds, drip/drain and then into the third bucket for 30 seconds. They are fine to hang at this point. Feel free to shake off excess water.
Dry as usual."
