McLoadie's Third Grow Journal

Interesting Loadie and it was skipped over somehow. But you compared side by side and feel as if washing has reduced smell a touch?

Hey vegas, yeah it was just brushed aside...LOL. I came to my conclusions after I washed a coupla lbz. that had a lot of bud damage from worms, I cut the damaged bud out...and washed the rest to remove any debris left by the worms. 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/4 cup lemon juice....three buckets, 1 for the wash, two for the rinse. Myself and my trusted assistant just noticed that the aroma was muted. We decided not to wash the next batch that had no damage and the difference was significant enough that we decided to use the wash as an emergency remedy only.....the washed weed is still great......but the unwashed bud is at least twice as aromatic! Just my opinion, but I NEED my weed to be as good as it can be in all respects.....and I choose unwashed.


+ reps vegas, this is pretty important....and you caught it
 
The wash mutes the nose for a bit since the buds are evenly moist but when they start to cure you can bet that they will have a really nice nose on em. It is essential to wash if there was worms present as well. That will stop the bud rot from spreading like a wild fire.

Thanks for the reps and the kind words as well mc.
 
Happy Tokesday Mc and Young Miss Loadie:circle-of-love:

The proof is in the pounds...........there is no comparison between washed and unwashed IMHO.......just my findings!
 
Kids, I just post what I find in my experience, and if it's from reference I will state that, I have no motives....I have a measure of formal training and my life has depended on my ability to notice details and then process those details to decide exactly what they mean.......my life and the lives of others were hanging in the balance.....I post what I believe to be the truth........I would burn my grow and my stash before I gave advice that I didn't believe was absolutely true to the situation. All my posts are my opinion, and if they are someone elses I will state that. I am also fortunate to have a few mentors that do what we do for a living...........whom I use for reference often. A person or group of people who have proven consistently that they know how to bring a large crop to fruition get my attention quickly. One lost crop can take em to the church on Thursdays for a box of food....they are playing for keeps!
 
Im actually pretty surprised that you like the unwashed stuff better.

My washed stuff received praises and I did not say anything about washing it until after to see the reactions.
But honestly whatever you do is what needs to be cause there is only one person in charge of the final product and that is you if you like it like that do it to it my braddah.


No disrespect here only sharing what we have come to find out with the wash

No No shotta, I said that IMHO, the aroma of washed bud is muted compared to unwashed.....that's what I'm finding, I suspected it at first, but waited til I washed two pounds....then didn't wash two pounds to make a statement.......I am finding a huge difference...IN AROMA...I love washed bud......if only my products were for me only....they will take the strongest smelling product first........LOL! The hash I made smells more than the washed bud!
 
I'm tired as hell folks, if I come across weird maybe that's why...I apologise......it will be another 2 months before I can relax a bit........there are like four people who are depending on me to pull the outdoor run off gracefully.......I'm in f'n charge of the f'n thing and nothing get's done unless either I do it...or drag someone out to the grow by the ear and watch em do it........trust me I am TAKING my cut...LOL.....so...sorry everyone if I offend anyone.....I'm a deep kind of tired........

Ahhhh I see. I hope you get some much needed rest today and everything goes good for you with the outdoor garden
 
No doubt a great indicator of Turpin.


I have always bought pot on the bag smell...don't have to test a good smelling bag. my opinion
 
No doubt a great indicator of Turpin.

I'm busy as f today, we're gonna start takin the sativas down.......as soon as they show any amber......I take em. The indicas, some with like 40% amber are so stony that you can barely smoke it and talk. The hash is the best ever, it's way wirey and everyone is really enjoying it. I have some runnin to do, I just recently found out that someone I sorta know has lung cancer, I'm going to make an effort to provide some strong elixir of some sort......I need an interview, and I will go thru one of his close friends to try to offer my services. Yep, wacky, I have done a little study on those, and it seems as if they have a great deal to do with how our body absorbs the things we want. I read that some weed that looks as if it should be real potent...but doesn't deliver....can be mixed with another variety and it will release the goodies...and it all has to do with terpines!
 
Howdy McL!

Interesting talk about the bud washing. There were 15ish new pages, so I only skimmed the new stuff :blalol:

I created a thread to discuss bud washing. I'd love if you and Shotta would share your experience as well. My cleaned buds are still drying/curing, but I will share my experience too in another week.

You can find the bud washing thread in my sig :)
