// From the Episode
Heavy Ice (SPEAKER_03) described dunking his outdoor Michigan plants at harvest to clean off pine pollen, dust, and airborne contaminants before hang-drying. SPEAKER_02 advocated dunking as superior to spraying for full pest treatment coverage, stating 'there's nothing like a good solid dunk.' Fletch countered that you can't dunk your soil and that the plants themselves are the hardest thing to clean since that's where pests complete their life cycle.
