Google 3 bucket budwash, very simple and effective process to cleaning the herb Although I'm not sure about mealybugs tbh
You know nice buds are hard work and take lots of patience. Those are nice buds. The Budwash is the remedy I would pursue. I would prep the harvest by snipping the buds into flowerettes. Small pieces. Then wash. After you’ve got them dry, you will need to make the judgement to smoke or process. Just know we feel your pain.
Thanks a lot for the support, going the H2O2/baking soda wash and rinse way, 4hr direct fan for droplets drying then dark room @40/50% humidity, keeping fingers crossed..
