definitely not for washing it. the resin is hydrophobic for one. all you'd be doing is knocking off heads and putting moisture where it shouldnt go. theres no way it's rinsing the resin clean, maybe rinsing some off, but it's not cleaning anything. once something is in the resin, it's in it forever. take a bud on a plant, pour pepper on it, rinse it under water. none of the pepper comes off that is in the resin. i haven't done this with pepper but i've done it with fungus gnat bodies and they stayed put. the bottom line is you're smoking a sticky plant. it's going to be impure. you already smoke your dog and cats hair and skin and saliva smoking bud you don't produce. and if they had a dog, you smoked their dog too. it's nothing to worry about and nothing good can come of dunking or rinsing your buds in water, seriously. i have a husky in one of my grow houses and his hair is all over all of it. i smoke that room myself exclusively just because of that but i can tell you that once it's dry, theres not noticeable hair on the bud. as the resin dries you can pull the hairs off, fracturing the now dry resin without rinsing a ton off when it's wet. it seems to let go of the hair as it dries a bit also. when i'm on later maybe ill post some dog hair plant and buds later to show you what i'm talking about. As a general rule though that's way too rough for the buds and will surely lower the potency and flavor and aroma just by the physical agitation alone. it will for sure knock off and rinse off glands full of thc. You want to be as gentle with your buds as possible as you've seen what it looks like under a microscope. imagine that it was all a weak glass. would shaking it in water pop some of those heads off? for sure it would, soft or hard. you just never want to be agitating your nugs or wrapping them in anything, including water. you can imagine what is happening on a microscopic level when you touch a bud, put it in a static bag, knock it against a glass jar, etc. and every agitation most likely removes some glands(heads). that would be like a ton of those agitations at once.
