yeah sounds like you didnt flush your soil enough. I usually start flushing a week and a half to two weeks before harvest. I grow in five gallon buckets so I usually do 2 and a half gallons the first water with 3 tablespoons of klean flush. Then water every other day with 3 liters containing 1 tablespoon of klean flush and 1 tablespoon of molasses.
When your plant doesnt use up all of the chemicals it stored they usually combust when you go to smoke the bud.

it was sparking cause you were tripping and already stoned..lol
My first ever post/reply! Could it be you're using a flint lighter, and while you are using multiple strikes to get it lit, some of the excess flint is falling on top of the bud and igniting? Try an electronic lighter if so and see if there are no more sparkles. I've had this happen to me and laughed my ass off when I figured it out! Cheers!

i cannot believe so many people think its the ferts. do you actually think the ferts are going thru the plant and into the bud? this has been beaten into the ground and i thought the consensus was ferts do not travel from the roots through the stalk and into the bud. they go to the leaves and stalk and then the plant makes the bud. ??????

fyi...nutes in the bud is common when not flushed properly. this will cause several problems with the smoke...such as, not staying lit, black ash instead of gray, harsh smoke, not great taste and sparking bowls. now, if you think about it real hard you will remember that the bud is green just like the rest of the plant...yes the nutes make it into the whole plant...

Could also be splash up from watering. the fert gets on the buds that way and then improper flushing. Thats the only time i've ever had the sparks from buds(other than seeds ofcourse but if your growing yourself you should be doing a sensimilla crop anyways).

My vote is on a bad flush. If you flush with plain water you usually want to do double the size of the pot. 5 gal pot-10 gal water. Do it 2 weeks before harvest and again about 4 or 5 days before. This should be the last watering too. The soil will usually be so saturated it will stay moist until you cut her.
Also, harvest right before the lights come on. At night all the excess fertilizer salts go down into the roots. On the day you chop either use a green light to see or cut the entire plant at the base immediately after turning on the light.
I've had the sparks before when I bought beasters. It's easy to avoid, just need to makes sure to take the proper steps before harvest.

martian mean green crackles when smoked. so do a few other strains i've stumbled across. i actually dry screened some martian mean green. i swept the trichs into a pile and touched a flame to it. it sparkled/crackled. it was properly flushed so i know it wasn't the nutes.

when you say the sound of sparkling it makes me wonder if you are trying to descride a sound or something you saw. sometimes my weed sizzles but i always assumed it was either resin or residual moisture.
