Bud washing bucket temperatures?

Im a big fan of the Doc D bud washing procedure (lemon juice and baking soda in the first bucket, then rinse in second and third buckets). What are people’s thoughts on what temperature the water should optimally be in each bucket?

I would think it should be hot enough to evaporate terps but also not too cold that the trichs get washed. Ive been aiming for 68 degrees and it works fairly well. I want to hear others thoughts.

I do 3 buckets
Peroxide and water
Lemon juice and baking soda
Water
I go by touch… when the water feels just barely cool to touch.
Can you believe the nastiness than comes off the weed!!??!
I believe washing greatly increases the flavors and terps. You might loose a few trichomes but IMO worth it. Just my 2 cents…

I was thinking about doing this on my next run. I’ll have to look up videos to see what comes off of them in curious how bad it is. I’m also very curious about temp going to do a little research as I’ve never done this before.
