washing buds after harvest?!

if anyone has seen jorge cervantes on cleaning out powdery mildew youbknowbhe drowns the bud for bout five minutes and hang dries them. does anyone know what will happen if you do that with just dirt and catrrpillar poop and after their washed continue to hang dry and cure normally. would this affect taste and smell or even potency? i dont have mildew but i want to wash qll the poop ane caterpillars off. cats die in likebten seconds of water. theyll hang onto the branch untill they drown and then float to the top. i dont want water cure, but more just water cure for oneday.

I wash mine with plain ol water every time right after harvest, before drying/curing, gets rid of the poop and dust that just settle out of the air, just make sure you get them dry good. Mine still is sweet and dank.

just place then into standing water, not running water. it will be fine as long as you can get them dry before mold.

sounds good! thanks for the input

I use an air compressor to get all the unwanted debris off the buds. I usually do it when I chop a branch and after I've trimmed individual buds if still needed.
