Why does my weed sparkle when smoked? ;P

This isn't normal, it's a little rare for a flowering plant to make false/tiny seed pods unless it was pollinated.

If your bud is healthy,dried & wasn't pollinated or saturated in soil/dust/hair particles from an oscillating fan, it should burn smoothly and very lightly if even noticeable have the sound of shrinking wood on fire. You shouldn't see any sparks fly out or anything like that
Unpollinated plants two prior grows and crackles from large ovules. Not false seed pods. Ovules. Some strains have larger ovules and I believe stress in some ways can cause big crackling ovules. I’ve been dealing first hand with the crackling and it’s ovules. I can separate them from inside the brachts, put a lighter to them and they crackle and move around. Not seeds.not tiny seeds. Not false seeds. They’re ovules

Holy hell this is why I won't bother smoking anyone else herb ever again.


Danjac82, those dead seed fetuses are NOT normal, you obviously grow frankenfem bullshit. But they have weight, just like nutes so..

Renfro, your brain is not working. You flush mediums, not plants. So the plant can't uptake from the medium, and is therefore depleted of nutes once it consumes it's nutes and isn't replenished. For fucks sake. How is this concept so misunderstood

They future of weed looks disgusting, with such garbage being accepted as normal. And such unqualified people spreading bullshit. Bud that tastes like dirt, bud that tastes like manmade chemicals, bud that fucking sparkles for fucks sake. Buy a vape and if you still can't tell what's wrong with your bud then quit growing and smoking, you aren't qualified.
let us all bow to you..asshole. I’m simply explaining the issue I’ve been dealing with. Larger ovules..not seeds. They are present inside each and every calyx...they crackle a bit the first hit of a bowl. It’s very annoying and it has started since I began using fems. Thinking the fems May be trash

I've never came across "dry" crackling calyxs without seeds, fwiw they can crackle when moist and even at week 1 of pollination way before you even notice it, but if your 100% sure they aren't pollinated then im really not sure, hopefully someone else has been through the same thing and could chime in.

I've had some s1's hermie out big time in late flower only to find crackling calyxs that appeared seed-less, while iso washing those phenos i found hundreds of tiny seeds almost hard to see in singles, probably about 1/10 - 1/12 of an inch wide, They were hard and would crackle/explode when lit and would make the bud taste foul.

The crackling I get is no matter when I chop. I’ve taken buds at early as 4 weeks..5;weeks..and always small specks that crackle. They’re in every calyx and the lighter flame seems to get most of them first hit off a bowl. Usually 3 to 5 crackles or so. But these ovules are same size like speck seeds no matter when the chop or test is. That’s what gets me. It’s literallu every single calyx . Every last one of them has a visible ovule. Green when young and inside older calyxes they slightly smaller and brownish. Every calyx from beginning of flower to end.C38608F8-1DC3-4487-BDFF-50747C477329.jpegC38608F8-1DC3-4487-BDFF-50747C477329.jpegC38608F8-1DC3-4487-BDFF-50747C477329.jpeg

Green ovule from inside young bracht. Smaller dark ovule from older swollen one. I’ve picked these off plants all through flower. The small brown one was once a slightly bigger green one like the first pic here. They get slightly smaller, harder and change darker with time. With every single calyx having these and them never growing in size I’d like to know where all the boat load of pollen is coming from that could literally pollinate every last calyx but never produce a real seed. I thought they were tiny seeds for two grows in a row. Then I discovered the ovule thing. I hate them

. Ovules start green and eventually ending up smaller and brown when mature.

You pulled at week 4 when calyx's didn't recede its pistils yet and still had the same problem?

Are you spraying anything or feeding any type of hormone ect?

If not it's probably just genetics, so much for a keeper right? I'd just move on.

Those are unfertilized seeds and perfectly normal.

grew mine, added epsom for the first time to battle light burn, thinking it was a mag def, flushed, then only water for 2 weeks, 24 hours dark before chop, dryd in 68F/60RH, for 8 days, paper bagged just long enought before inside of a bud stem breaks, cured for a couple days so far, harshes shit ive ever smoked, fkn horrible actually. black ashish, 5 ozs of garbage. I can only blame it on the epsom, 1g/p/g, never had this problem. heck, ive quick dryd and smoked buds of even my last 12/12 from seed, and it was amazing, even with no cure.

not sure if its going to get better with a cure to be honest. shit looks awesome, spent hours going over it with a scope for mold, has to be the mag wasnt flushed out, used pk booster to but for 2 weeks, recommened 1g/p/g.

*shruggs, bummed out to be honest. heck, my ppms going in never was more then 600 even.
its much better now, cure helped tremendously. actually has a blueberry scent now.
