buds sizzling when smoked?

"Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco" was the ad slogan in the '50s & 60s.
Young boys at the time, like me, said it stood for , "Let's screw, my finger's tired."

"Loose Straps Means Floppy Tits"

Apparently there were a # of takes on that back in the day eh...

Ever smoke a Lucky....ugh... I never made it through a pack....when I did smoke tobacco that is....

I had a buddy who used to dry weed in the microwave because he was a tweek and couldn't wait..you know the story.

Anyway,he used bottled organic nutes,specifically Earth Juice and Maxicrop.

Sometimes the buds would pop and ignite while being nuked and actually catch fire. He claimed the magnesium from the kelp in the stems was doing it....

Forgot to flush my last harvest.

Was it that cheese guy?

looks like someone didn't flush their compact disc properly...

Which ones get flushed? Carbon? Hydrogen? Oxygen? Nitrogen? Magnesiuim? What then is left after turbulent tides roll through the soil and reaches up to the top of the plant to begin working down wiping out these ionic nasties or however this is supposed to work?

Just curious as usual

I decided to ask some questions at my local Grow shop today while picking up some Dirt Bags.

1. Do you have a microscope to check the Compost Tea that is always in your vortex brewer? Heck I didn't even know their procedure.... I always perceived it to be perpetual, but was informed it was made every 2-3 days. Sold or dumped and started over again to keep it as consistent as possible.... that was actually better than I thought.

2. Why should I flush my soil?

The nutrients that are currently attached to the roots take time to up take, we can stop this by flushing the roots clean and therefore blocking the uptake of new nutrients so that the quality of the buds are better and don't taste like nutrients.

Perfect, and without me saying anything, he said... well, even tomatoes grown with bottled nutrients should be flushed...

Turns out he is a microbiologist.

I respect and like this person, but lack the intelligence to ask better questions at this point.... in any case I didn't argue, we had a nice conversation and i was out with what I came for.

So now, I'm going to start flushing!!!! haha JK

There are two 'theories' (snerk) being presented here:

1. Water can change an ion's electrical charge

2. Water can reach inside a plant and remove ions at will - good ones on the left, bad ones on the right

The 2nd is so steeped in ignorance it's not worthy of testing but the first one can be tested easily with a bucket of water and a couple of magnets from Walmart.

Fill bucket with water and drop in the 2 magnets stuck together and then take daily notes until the magnets are no longer 'magnets'

I'm definitely curious how this works

I should probably not even post in this thread anymore,but.

When I'm flushing,I'm using water to push unavailable nutrients and salt buildups out of the soil,not the plant. That way the plant uses most of the rest of the available energy it has stored in its leaves's as it ripens. When the plants uptake water after a good flush there is not much left in the water,the plant shows signs of nitrogen,phosphorous,and other nutrient deficencies (not from lockout) and I harvest when the buds are ripe.
This gives me a much cleaner burning smoke and better taste when feeding with any liquid bottled ORGANIC nutrient line.
As far as teas,some people use guanos or even bone meal in their tea brews,not just microbes. Are you telling me you wouldn't flush after feeding plants with a liquid guano tea? If you don't know that effects the taste than your crazy.
I understand if your growing in a living soil feeding nothing but microbe teas than yes you don't need to flush. I can also tell you from a commercial standpoint if all you use is microbe teas you are losing potential in the yield department. I've done side by side tests indoors and outside. You can grow some amazing tasting herb that way,but in my testing feeding plants a more diverse feeding program results in denser buds and a higher bud to leaf ratio,and with a good flush of the soil,amazing taste as well.
If you grow hydro and don't flush you are a scumbag. I've grown hydro with partners that don't flush and it grows disgusting weed,take one puff and you feel sick. I insisted we flush next round,much better taste,still hydro in rock wool but didn't taste like shit.
So,do you really think "flushing is just a myth". Or do you grow small scale organics in a living soil with teas and choose not to flush?

For what it's worth being an anonymous somebody out there on the interwebs, I can testify that I haven't flushed a plant in 5 years and the taste varied plant to plant but most were very smooth I have grown the last few years. The ones that were not were probably my fault. I admit I spent the first couple years confused and making every possible mistake and much of it sucked to smoke, but I have stuck with learning about soil science and stuck with my soil too. I'm afraid it seems "flush deniers" are correct on this one, there is no flush with living soil.

 

[Gascanastan]

Dude...I forgot to flush. So I'm going for the 'split-second' flush method instead..got to get all those ferts and nutes out of the dirt. ....ahhhh I feel better now knowing I flushed. This weed is gonna kick!~

Ok...lets figure this out. Seriously.

I, like many other folks, construct my own soil. It consists of sphagnum peat, compost, worm castings, rock dust, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, neem cake, fish bone meal, blah blah blah. Its a pretty generic soil recipe.

These items are physically part of my soil; in fact, they ARE the soil. Each item, being part of the soil, IS the soil. These are physical items, they are not water soluble. Are we still with each other here?

I basically just keep this soil wet with plain ol' tap water throughout the grows, start to finish. Every once in awhile I'll soak some kelp meal, or alfalfa meal, etc., in some water for a few days and then water it in.

My question to you is this - what exactly should I be looking to remove from my soil, and is it even physically possible for me to do so, as each item in my soil IS my soil?

Confused in Maine

Until actual evidence of high P in plants doing this appears, I think it's safe to say its not plausible.

From a dictionary site (something to think about):

The phosphorus content (mg per 100 g dry matter) in the tissues of plants is 230–350; it is 400–1,800 in marine animals, 1,700–4,400 in terrestrial animals, and approximately 3,000 in bacteria. In humans, there are large amounts of phosphorus in bone tissue (slightly more than 5,000 mg per 100 g dry matter), brain tissue (approximately 4,000), and muscles (220–270). The daily human requirement of phosphorus is 1–1.2 g (children requiring more than adults). The food products richest in phosphorus are cheese, meat, eggs, and legumes (peas, beans).

In the end the OP likely had baby seeds, or had other foreign debris causing the sparking IMO. Was the bud ever inspected under magnification? I don't recall that happening yet...

 

[Microbeman]

Or do you grow small scale organics in a living soil with teas and choose not to flush?

Or do you grow large scale organics in a living soil with those kinda teas what makes the microbes with the monster buds man?!!

Anyone who does not flush is just plain stoopid...its prooved by science ya know. That's why the leaves turn yellow and they suck up all those bad guano and bone things. It's a fact so stop making stuff up eh!? Coot and Gas and that other guy.
