I recently read a comment on a different site from someone who claimed they wash their bud in a cheesecloth until the water comes out clear. Then they dry the flower again and start extracting the RSO/FECO as usual. Apparently this gives a less harsher final product.
Has anyone tried this and if so is it worth it?
EDIT: The wash is not a bud wash to clean the plant, but a few hour long soak in water to pull chlorophyll, sugars, phenols and other stuff out of the shredded flower before decarbing and letting it soak in ethanol.
This is done increasingly more to improve quality of flower. I could definitely see the use if you wanted to wash off pesticides and dirt and such cause that's all coming along into the extraction but assuming your flower is clean I wouldn't see the need.
If your friend's tinctures taste noticeably less harsh after washing he might be using something s lil too spicy in a little too high a quantity.
