Why does my weed sparkle when smoked? ;P

Its probably not the nutrients, Its been beaten to death about how flushing does nothing but starve your plant before you're going to harvest. How ever i could see having a bad PH level building up salts but even then i doubt it. I had this happen on one plant and i found a few small underdeveloped seeds at the bottom of the jar so i figured i had a late hermi (bet it was that damn Tangerine Dream) and had a bunch of half-developed seeds.

I want to thank you and this thread for debunking my "I must have smoked glass" paranoid stoned dominance. I smoked a mix of res from a bowl I broke (had some ooooold res in it) with some crystal and the tiniest bit of bud. I smoked it and it tasted gross! But when I tapped it when I was done and it sparked like a fucking sparkler.... I got a bit scared. But now, I'm not. And thank you all agin! Haha

Hey guys whats up?

I had this issue with my last harvest as well, but has anyone ever had their weed spark or sparkle when its smoked? Does anyone know what causes it?

Weird.

I guess its just magical chronic ;P

Sparking is burning chemicals you didn't flush at all. And 2 waterings is not a flush. 3x amount per litre/gallon pot of water. At twice a day for minimum 2 weeks.

Sooooo much bullshit in this thread. I know it old, but fuck me, I'd urge you all to go read a book on botany and not listen to all this bro science.
@Lostnz you really shouldn't be giving advice flushing 3x the pot size twice a day for 2 weeks. Lol You're drowning your plants at their most critical stage.

Oh yeah sorry I'm stone. I meant one big flush of the 3times amount of pot size. And then let it dry out. Then water twice a day with tiny runoff.

Is that better my lord ship

Try tapering off nutes last few weeks, giving your plant a chance to use up all remaining in soil. Plain water last one or two waterings and then nothing for few days before chop.
You're welcome peasant lol

I find a roots off 24 hour flush after the chop in RO water does best.

I run the same mix straight through.

The weed sap is a bit heavier than the water and sinks to the bottom so elevate the butts of the chopped budded snips slightly from the bottom of the container being used to hold the RO water. Each budded snip will suck up an average of 1/2 liter of RO water during this process.

Over the decades I've tried everyone else's ideas but after analyzing all the problems this was the only thing/way I could come up with to get by all these problems. You'll find this flush is well worth the pocket change you'll have to invest :)

Folks, I’ve researched a lot and have dealt with my own crackle and pop problem for a few harvests. Flushing isn’t the issue and neither is bad cure. Not sure why so many people repeat this. If it’s more of a sizzling sound than a crackle pop sound it is just moisture in the bud. The other light crackle sound is usually the ovules which are inside each and every calyx and where the pistils emerge from. The pistils catch pollen and the seed forms from the ovule. Like an egg. They crackle when burned and some strains just have larger ovules. Go ahead and break some bud up real good and look close. Move it around and look close. You’ll seee man tiny brownish blackish little specks about the size of pen head or smaller. Usually smaller. Takes some looking but they’re there. Hundreds of them in an eighth of bud if you search hard enough. Not to much info on this but it’s the issue. Go ahead and snip a calyx off a plant and carefully open it. You’ll see a little ball inside it. They’re present in every calyx.

This isn't normal, it's a little rare for a flowering plant to make false/tiny seed pods unless it was pollinated.

If your bud is healthy,dried & wasn't pollinated or saturated in soil/dust/hair particles from an oscillating fan, it should burn smoothly and very lightly if even noticeable have the sound of shrinking wood on fire. You shouldn't see any sparks fly out or anything like that

Holy hell this is why I won't bother smoking anyone else herb ever again.


Danjac82, those dead seed fetuses are NOT normal, you obviously grow frankenfem bullshit. But they have weight, just like nutes so..

Renfro, your brain is not working. You flush mediums, not plants. So the plant can't uptake from the medium, and is therefore depleted of nutes once it consumes it's nutes and isn't replenished. For fucks sake. How is this concept so misunderstood

They future of weed looks disgusting, with such garbage being accepted as normal. And such unqualified people spreading bullshit. Bud that tastes like dirt, bud that tastes like manmade chemicals, bud that fucking sparkles for fucks sake. Buy a vape and if you still can't tell what's wrong with your bud then quit growing and smoking, you aren't qualified.

Back in middle school we'd skip class and go take bong hits at someones house while the parents were at work. I put a dried dead spider in one kids bong hit. It did snap, crackle, and pop. He coughed out yellow smoke that smelled really bad.

Good times... :bigjoint:

We didn't smoke spiders... But we got massively stoned at a buddies, that was right down the street from the principal's office in high school...
Man that was quite the lunch hour trip.
Coughing yellow spider smoke.. hehehe

Sparkly weed.. what the fuck..?!
Learn how to garden.! ( Grow some basil or something for practice....)
Plants are not that hungry. Ya don't need a dead Rhino worth of fert for a pot plant as the grow shops would have you believe.

grew mine, added epsom for the first time to battle light burn, thinking it was a mag def, flushed, then only water for 2 weeks, 24 hours dark before chop, dryd in 68F/60RH, for 8 days, paper bagged just long enought before inside of a bud stem breaks, cured for a couple days so far, harshes shit ive ever smoked, fkn horrible actually. black ashish, 5 ozs of garbage. I can only blame it on the epsom, 1g/p/g, never had this problem. heck, ive quick dryd and smoked buds of even my last 12/12 from seed, and it was amazing, even with no cure.

not sure if its going to get better with a cure to be honest. shit looks awesome, spent hours going over it with a scope for mold, has to be the mag wasnt flushed out, used pk booster to but for 2 weeks, recommened 1g/p/g.

*shruggs, bummed out to be honest. heck, my ppms going in never was more then 600 even.

Really you think it's the Epsom fault?! SMH sounds like the growers fault to me it's 100% not the Epsom.
