Bud crackling and popping
One thing I failed to mention. I don't use flushing products. With plain water, fill the pot to the top letting the water run through. Do this 3 times. Takes less than 15 min. The first run through wets & disolves the nutes, 2 & 3rd time rinses or leaches the nutes out through the drain holes. This ISNT over watering. Over watering is not letting the soil surface dry between waterings. If your plants aren't 'over potted' (pot to large for plant), you should always water through. Other wise, the root formation occurs more near the surface of the soil, rather than being evenly dispersed through out the soil, which can cause dry air pockets just below the roots, & can also cause the soil to sour at the bottom of the pot. Of course flushing of any technique doesn't work with time released nutes, which I hope nobody is using for their grow anyway, save that for your flowers & vegetables in the garden.
---- Growing organically is the key to everything. Its the metalic salts from chem nutes (mainly nitrogen), that leaves that nasty after taste behind, & if there's a high accumulation in the dried bud, sparking as mentioned in the first post of this thread.
---- One more thing I nearly forgot to mention. Magnesium deficiency. Bud doesn't burn well & won't stay lit if this happens. So to prevent that, add 1 tablespoon epsom salts to your flush water. Even if there's no deficiency it won't hurt & you won't taste it in your smoke. I do all this 2 wks before harvest.

I'll go along with that. I've used chem ferts and had fireproof weed before. It really sucks. I go all organic now and it's foolproof, most of the way. Very difficult to overdo the feeding. Still, don't overwater. I presently have a batch of tea going that I'd like to apply but the plants are not thirsty yet. Waiting...

NOTHING BEATS ORGANIC! By the way, did I say NOTHING?!?!? LOL! Every aspect of my life is natural & organic. Guess that's why I'm wiccan. I love Mother Earth & all her creatures!
