Tricome loss after bud wash

After bud wash i noticed several tricomes in rinse water. Just wondering what might have caused this. Didn’t think i was to rough with them but apparently i could have been

What are you using to wash em with? Is your water cold?

Trichs are exceptionally sticky, but they do still come off any time you handle flower. A lot of folks (self included) do a bud wash with 95% water / 5% hydrogen peroxide. Neither water nor hydrogen peroxide are solvents for trichomes.

Yes water was cold. Jumped the gun i guess. Was going to let the water get to room temperature but you know how that goes.

Trichomes get more brittle when they are cold, I’ll bet that’s why you lost so many
