Do bloom boosters make your bud taste like shit?

[jonnynobody]

i only used a bloom booster (koolbloom) on one grow. I had huge colas that produced my largest harvest ever. The buds all tasted like total shit. When a bowl was smoked it crackled, popped, and burned to a hard charcoal like ash that scorched the lungs. I truly hated smoking it. I also failed to perform any flush.

Are bloom boosters just a bad idea in general when it comes to flavor? I don't care if I get more weight if all I'm smoking is buds full of phosphorous and potassium that taste like shit and scorch my lungs.

I'm at week 5 of flower and am considering adding a bloom booster in moderation and completing a 10 day flush. I'm also considering not adding a bloom booster at all.

If you're having crackling and sparking when you light the flowers after they've been dried and cured, that is a direct result of not doing a proper 14 day flush of just water prior to harvest. It will leave potassium deposits in your buds, which is actually an ingredient used in making the sparklers we use on 4th of July. Fun fact.

Sorry if my answer didn't satisfy your strict standards.

I have used them before and then run the same strain without them. I think it makes them blander, like a cheap burger vs an expensive burger. But I don’t think it makes them taste bad. Not sure if that makes sense sorry a bit high
