Bud doesn't burn clean?

[scurred]

Just had a harvest, the bud is dried and cured but does not burn cleanly. Ash does not burn white, more of a charred black. In a joint the joint will just go out and refuse to light unless u like pick off the charred black ash off the end of it.

Is this a result of a nutrient problem? Or did this plant need a longer flush?

 

[the med man]

2 major reasons 1- too much phosphorus caused by : 2- brand of nutes used/not enough flush

Nevermind, Medman answered it I guess!

So it's either too much phosphorus or it needed a longer flush? I thought I remembered reading something similar about phosphorus. How the heck do you know if you're feeding it too much?

 

[the med man]

or both combined. everyone bashes a.n, but guess what, when i kill a plant rom overwatering 2 or 3 weeks to harvest, it stiil burns grey and sweet, becuase plants use more cal then p, peace,

you growin in coco by chance?

Yea mate, not enough of a flush. Is the smoke harsh too? Gutted, come all that way and screw it right at the end. Lesson learned though. Good flush is allways essential.

i flush for the last 2- 2.5 weeks

The plant should be dying by the time you pull her. Most Leaves have turned Brown/Yellow. If the plant is still vibrate green keep flushing. Timing for the flush is critical. If you have a 10 week strain you should start flushing at 8 weeks. There should be plenty of nutrient's in the soil for her to suck up in those 2 weeks IMO

I don't want to discourage you from using coco, but a couple members here have been having the same problem as you with coco... I really don't know what could be causing it other then flushing time...

i had this happen to me for the first time when I was smoking some weed from a friend the other day. The exact thing you described, ash was black and the blunt kept going out. I guessed right when I said it wasn't flushed properly, glad I found this thread!

2 possibilities:

1) You no flush enough.

2) You use Advanced Nutrients.
