Does anyone else rinse their weed when harvesting?

I started doing this a while back. I fill a 5 gallon bucket with RO water and gently push the tops up and down a few times. It doesn't seem to hurt the weed and it gets rid of any mites, dust, etc. I shake off the excess water then hang to dry. The air circulates so I haven't had any trouble with mold.

i feel the cat hair adds weight in my case

I think it's easier to just heavily mist down the plants before harvesting but that's just me........

sounds like a good way to mold your crop.

whats the point if the buds sticky the water wont do shit anyways my buds are like spiderwebs

No water or spray of any sort ever touches my foliage or buds after I switch to 12/12. That's just me though... I know lots of folks drench their plants in all kinds of shit, in which case a rinse is probably a healthy thing to do...

if you got mites or cobwebs or cat hair in your buds you shouldnt be growing, WTF?? keep your shit clean

That just doesnt sound right

Wouldn't rinsing disturb and perhaps dislodge trichomes? After all, that's how you make ice hash...

yup. air movement in the room while drying can dislodge them. rinsing it with water would for sure.

Why don't you take it one step further and get into the shower together.

it is a good way to rid the plant of mites...peace

You named yourself Jesus, that doesn't mean you really are Jesus. Please offer constructive criticism or STFU. Mites happen sometimes, besides I don't have a cat
