Exclamation Wash bugs off of buds?
permalink
My plant has been hanging to dry for 3 days now. Thing is, its still covered in bugs....

Can I wash the buds off or even soak the buds in water for a few minutes to get the bugs off?? Even though its been drying for 3 days??

I thought it was like water curing but a little late...

Feedback Please!!! I need to know what to do ASAP!!!!

Thanks!

One trick I've used is to dry in the dark ( of course ) and place a nightlight across the room. Light loving bugs leave my plants and die over at the light.

I've never water cured but I am pretty sure buds are dried before they are cured. Give it a test run with a few infested buds by soaking them for a while like you said. Be sure to shake off excess water afterwards to prevent mold and keep them isolated away from infected area and inspect them then.

Until someone with some def knowledge replies (hope 4 u soon) try what Man o' the green said as it makes sense.

Good Luck
