I have been reading the thread about bud washing (thank you again to @Amy Gardner!) and it brought up an old memory. I’ve always had a strong dislike for the taste of weed in my food. I’ve made cannabutter a handful of times and whenever I made something with it, I would choke it down, barely chewing and then wash it down with a drink to mask the flavor. (Say what you will, I just don’t like it) We had been smoking with an old school vaporizer and I read that you could use the poo to make butter, so I saved it. I probably had 1/2 to maybe 2/3 of a ziplock sandwich bag’s worth of poo and stems. I also read that soaking it would help reduce the flavor, but of course, I was worried about losing potency in this, already used bud. What did we have to lose? I mean, it was poo! I used the poo, stems and about a $20 sack of fresh nugs and I soaked it overnight in a little cup of water. The next day I cooked it low and slow and then used it to made strawberry financiers for a party. They were the best tasting treat I had ever eaten, let alone made myself! (This was before medical cards and dispensaries were a thing). They were so good and a good solid buzz off of poo! Lol, I had to warn a couple people who usually don’t smoke much, they were eating too many just because they tasted good. Sorry for the braggy sounding story, but it really was the best butter I had ever made. I haven’t made butter myself since, but reading about bud washing helped me remember that story and helps me confirm to myself that washing the buds will not make it lose potency. I will 100% be washing my harvest. Count down - 5 days to go (or less). 
good to hear they’re ripening niceley.

I think I just peed a little guys! You all think they’re both ready?! I guess I’m not getting better at reading trichomes! 
That was what I meant to say. Thanks again Shed!
) In my first bucket, I used 1/3 cup of lemon juice because I only had two lemons and that was the juice they gave me, 1/3 cup baking soda in luke warm water. The second bin had hot water from the tap and the third bin had cold water. I trimmed off the fans and the leaf tips that didn’t have much sparkle and swished them around in each bucket/bin for at least 30 seconds. They are now drip drying for ~4 hours before I move them to the closet for more hanging around time. I’ll do a better clean up trim tomorrow too.
