Why Does My Pot Crackle and Pop?

schwa · May 14, 2011

so i got some homegrown thats not as good as it should be and it crackles and pops when i smoke it. why?

lime73 · May 14, 2011

is there little seeds in it/stem?
or maybe was not flushed/or cured properly?

crackle and pop is expanding water logged cells

..or the spider mites exploding.

i've always taken the crackles and pops to mean it wasn't flushed properly before harvesting.

Never flushed my plants ever, never crackled/popped.

Probably didn't let it dry out/cure enough. Could be little tiny immature seeds or something (also why it may be less potent).

Probably the curing process in my final guess though.

i smoked weed that snap crackle and pop like the 4 of july because so many chemicals ect ect ect and probably spider mites 2

schwa · May 15, 2011

well i purposely added spider mites for the taste and some good protein but im thinking it might be chemicals.

i've never had crackle and pop from anything but seeded bud. Sprayed and what not has only ever been slower and harder to burn, never crackly though. I also don't flush and don't experience it.

It is from the unfermented sugars within the bud. Means it isnt properly dried and cured.

max316420 · May 16, 2011

it's wet, weed can absorb moisture from the air and when your smoking it that's the sound you hear.. Does it taste kinda harsh too?

tip top toker · May 16, 2011

I willl also say i've smoked my buds at every stage of drying, never experienced snap and crackle because it's wet, i encounter not lighting instaed

my guess would be improper flush, i've had an experience with this.
