I hate trimming. Hate it, just hate it. So, I trim before the wash to get it over with. Some plants take 2 or 3 days to trim but once it is finished the relief is great.And am I supposed to wet trim before washing or just remove the big stuff?
If you are worried about mold then consider doing the first wash using Hydrogen Peroxide and water. Then go to the standard washing using the Baking Soda and Lemon Juice mix followed with the two rinses.I was also wondering if I shouldn't add a capful of bleach for the mold.
The smell and taste of bleach might never get removed from the buds and that would be a huge disappointment so probably best to not even think of it.
