My buds are goin SNAP CRACKLE & POP when I smoke em. Spider mites? How to fix this?

Exactly. No evidence that flushing actually does anything that i have seen or found

it depends on the nutes

All nutrients are chemically the same...otherwise they wouldn't work.

Sure they've different grades of purity, etc but the snap, crackle, pop is caused by starches cos you probably dried too quickly.

It should be around 2 weeks before they're ready to go into jar, they're still alive when you chop them and will consume stored sugars...if they dry too fast the starches arnt consumed and voila! Rice Crispy buds.

Well put...
you aren't going to flush nutes out of a still growing plant...I mean unless you keep just watering till all the green washes out all the way to the buds, like when you overwater a new plant and the bottom leaves go all yellow and droopy, but all the way to the top...and that would take a long time, and I feel like the plant would die before the pale progressed too far up the plant...
Anyway you can't flush the nutes back out of the plant...I mean you can start a very slow exchange of nute water vs regular water within the plant...but the buds aren't giving up anything during this time...Nutrient movement is a slow process...

that buds not flushed right, if its black too, it aint flushed

How can I correct this then?

you say chemically the same, but with my organics i dont flush and i feed full strength til the end and i dont get that crackle when smoking it just dried and before going in jars.

right on....

This was the first time i used non-organic nutes, I used Advanced Nutes in combo with Heavy 16. I did burn the roots pretty bad too. My flush wasnt super thorough, so it must be that. Ive dried all my nugs before at this same rate and have never seen this crackle and sizzle before to ANY degree.

I STILL NEED TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS. PLEASE HELP! I have 1/2 lb of beautiful LSD kush here that needs your knowledge and advice.

No, no I am sure its porky!

water cure or sell for better bud

Just had this issue with some Master Kush, cured it for two more weeks and it came out perfect.

yea I would also belive its moist still left in them buds ..

4 days is also a short drying time before cureing .. most do a week atlest before putting them on jars ..

depends on the feeding schedule

GNOSH,

Sorry this happened to you as well. I am very happy to hear a bit of cure might help. Would you agree it was due to a poor flush?

Some folks on here are telling me its moisture still remaining in the buds, and that my drying time is too short. I live in socal and its pretty arid here, my usual drying time is 4-5 days, and never gotten this crackle and sizzle before. The buds are dry.

So ur tellin me if i dry my buds in 4 days then jar them the buds will snap crackle and pop all crazy as hell??

Seems like you have to do something to try to correct the situation. Options are limited. Maybe try to cure a couple of weeks in jars and see if it helps? If not the water cure may be a reasonable option.
