Bud Washing | Bud Wash – Terps USA
Bud Wash Directions
A calibrated formula only works when the process is controlled.
Use TerpsUSA Bud Wash at 4 fl oz per gallon, with short contact time, clean rinses, and immediate controlled drying to help reduce surface contamination without unnecessary soaking.
Follow the simple three-step protocol below before harvest day so your wash station is ready when your branches come down.
Shop TerpsUSA Bud WashDirections
Add 4 fl oz of TerpsUSA Bud Wash concentrate to 1 gallon of cold water. Submerge freshly harvested branches and gently agitate for 30 seconds, making sure all flower surfaces contact the wash bath.
After washing, move the branches through two separate clean-water rinse buckets to remove loosened debris and remaining wash solution. Do not soak for extended periods. The goal is a controlled surface wash designed to reduce surface contamination, not prolonged saturation.
Drying Protocol
Hang branches immediately after rinsing in a clean, controlled drying environment. Maintain steady airflow, proper spacing between branches, and stable humidity to prevent moisture from lingering inside dense flowers.
A successful wash depends on the full process: calibrated wash strength, short contact time, clean rinses, and immediate controlled drying. Do not leave washed flower sitting in buckets, trays, or stagnant air.
