Experimenting with Bud Washing
I decided to wash the buds. I need to see if it can remove the fibers from cloth, or dust etc.
Method: wash the buds then pour the dirty water in a filter of 0.25 microns .
Dosage:
- I pressed 2 organic lemon to get half a glass of juice (15 cl?).
- Then I filtered the lemon juice with a tea filter (empty tea bags, to make your own tea bags), to remove the pulp.
- I added baking soda in the same proportion as filtered lemon juice (a bit less than 2 soup spoons)
- I added that lemon+baking soda mixture to 18Liters of tap water.
I used 3 tanks of water, 18L each.
2 first tanks = filled with tap water that i let sit a few hours to have less chlorine.
1 last tank: bottled water only, no tap water.
temp of the water, not measured, but probably around 24°C (slightly warm, not hot, not cold).
I dipped each cutting 5 - 10 second in each bath, a little bit more in the last one.
Then I took the used water (not the last tank that i will use for my balcony) and poured it in the 0.25 micron bubble bag, and grabbed the DSLR:
Here is what i get from the 2 first tanks.
1st thing to note: whatever it is , there is not enough for a joint...may be 1 puff. But what is it really???
Looks like a few amber trichomes and dust
The
Purple "bullets" come from the bubble bag, fabric. It is the only thing I have of this color. I did not wash it before use... so, wash your bubble bags before use.
There are a lot of fibers of different colors. I did not expect that much from washing....
The black things are probably old trichome feet. Remember that, between the net and the various manipulations during the 2 month of flowering, the plants trichomes have suffered a bit. this is probably the casualties. Unless it is insect poo, but i don't have insects that i can see with the eyes.
definitely trichome feet. The black stuff could be soil sent on the buds when spraying or watering.
And I think there is a small insect (under the "black rock") or at least from this angle, it looks like a small insect, or it could be something else (young pistil? alien form of life stuck in my weed? can't tell...)
This box has filtered inputs and outputs. At leats dust should not be able to come in as long as the door is closed.
Let's relax with some trichomes from the Girl Scout Cookie !! still too clear to cut.
See you !
Everything looks great 
I fell on this journal by seing the pics you posted on the fresh uploads.
