I switched over to organic growing methods about 3 months ago and all of my organic weed crackles and pop when lit up. I hate to say it but growing with chem was alot easier. I never had problems like I do now. Ive had problem after problem since switched. Even though I do a 2 week flush with water it still does this. I thought it was originally because I used molasses during the flush but it does the same thing with just plain water.

I have heard the crackleing is from fertilizer.

same here. whoever grew it didn't flush guarenteed. The weed I have smoked that cracked was taken down in a hurry so no time for flush obviously. not good.

Sometimes if you don't dry it well enough it will crackle also.

You're kidding. So maybe that's why my Cali. Indica x Big Bud girl crackles and pops no matter the moisture content. She was blown off the deck and split in two, so I was "forced" to harvest without a flush. All are being grown organically. She was water-cured because her buds were full of soil, too.

I don't think the crackling is a result of the organic fertilizers, I just switched to organics not long ago and I couldn't be happier. The flushing theory seems to make sense, you are probably smoking mostly weed, but some molasses with it. I would try a longer flush, organic nutrients could take longer to flush out, and I hear of people on here flushing for way longer than 2 weeks.

the crackling is theremaining fertilizer salts popin in there, try a harderflush some plants naturally take longer to leach, big bud is notorious for needing a three week flush to bring out that gingery flava..also before the flush starts flush your plants with 2 times the water to pot volume ie..plant in a 5 gallon bucket flush with 10 gall. water..,
i honestlybelieve that growing with chems is easier to me , i tried the organic hydro thing and was not impressed.., but if i go back to soil it will be organic all the way..both processes have their advantages.. most of the ill reviews on hydro weed is caused by lack of a proper flush.

sorry bout the misshap with your plant.. do you feel water curing( wich i know was a nessecity with this particular plant) affected the taste of the weed..
