Step 3: Soak the Cannabis

Place your cannabis in a bucket or tub filled with cold water. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes. This allows water to flush through the cannabis, removing impurities and trichomes.

Step 4: Strain the Cannabis

After soaking, strain the cannabis through a sieve to remove any large plant material. Transfer the strained cannabis to a filter bag and then strain it again through a fine mesh strainer to remove finer particles.

Step 5: Repeat the Process

Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed to achieve a desired level of cleanliness. Generally, 2-3 soakings should suffice.

Step 6: Dry and Cure

Once the flushing process is complete, hang your cannabis to dry. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew growth.
