Ok Bill. Good morning. Gotta question for you. I'd imagine lemon juice kills the bugs right? Well do u think I could make lemon juice, r/o water and pH it then spray my plants to kill any aphids?When you harvest you can bud wash to remove anything you spray on your girls.
Not now.
It's a matter of dunking buds in water with lemon juice then rinsing it.
Simple.
But concentrate on your bugs when you get to harvest we can help with cleaning the bugs/spray then.
For now just kill them.
Stay safe

Good morning buddy
Hope your day is going well.
Lemon juice is used to wash them off after harvest.
Something non toxic and easily washed off with a rinse.
It’s not a bug spray
Use the stuff you have.
Get rid of the bugs.
When your done then you get a 5 gallon pale and dunk each branch in a little lemon water to remove dead bugs and dirt/dust.
Did you have a powder?
Stay safe

Bill, do you use lemon juice and baking soda or just lemon juice to wash your bud.
Your right baking soda aswell.Bill, do you use lemon juice and baking soda or just lemon juice to wash your bud.
Thanks Keith! Then rinse in a little h202 water if memory serves.
Where's my notes?
Stay safe

I knew it was as you are one of the people that taught me how to wash bud. You help a lot of growers. Thanks Bill.

I cannot find my notes on baking soda and lemon juice. All I found was 1 tbsp baking soda to a gallon of water with a little hand soap. Sorry I can't find it. I mix a 5-gallon bucket for washing bud. I think I just pour the lemon juice by eye and the baking soda also in a 5-gallon bucket followed by a clean water rinse in another 5-gallon bucket. Sorry I do not have a mixture ratio.
1/2 cup baking soda in five gallon pale.
Next. Second bucket.
Half cup lemon juice 1/4 cup-1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide in 5 gallons.
Next 3rd bucket plain water.
Dunk and swish around in each bucket.
Then hang to dry.
Easy Peasy.

Gave cold rinse tonight to rid of aphids. Then sprayed excess water off with air nozzle. I then went ahead and sprinkled seven dust on top layer of soil, but did apply to top leaves of white widow. Just gotta take the risk.

Well, full day with sevendust n plants seem fine. Actually got new hairs. I did see a few aphids in the affected bud but I ain't tripping because I know what they turn into. Btw when they step out on the stem they're screwed. Lol. However, I'm not too worried because they're almost done. Will definitely wash with method u folks gave me. I surely appreciate it. Soon as I harvest I'll have white widow to tend to which I'm looking forward to. She looks really great today. Stalk seems to grow thicker due to lst I been maintaining. Plants' ability to rebound from such stretch is amazing.

Btw I didn't shake any dust on buds. I actually took rubber gloves n shook a bit n my hand then rubbed stalks down.

Thank you. Honestly she's been through a lot. I messed up bringing them in from outside and not checking for aphids. Rookie mistake. Thank God I learned from research and you folks. I'll definitely be chopping for sure, but the other one has a little more time to go. Would like more amber on it.Nice looking Bud Chad. Happy chopping.
