So I had spider mites earlier this cycle, but i thought I got rid of them. I dried my crop and now Im tasting a bit before the cure and they are going SNAP CRACKLE AND POP....

Is that the spider mites? If so, how can I get rid of them now, organically? Some things in my head are water cure and flash freeze, but I'm really just not wise enough for this.

If not spider mites, what is that? I did flush appropriately.

All constructive wisdom on this topic would be BOMB!!!!!

Thank You kindly in advance for your help.....

sometimes thats a sign of not flushing properly...I don't know what you used, but a lot of the fertilizers will do that if not flushed out completely.

You sure you flushed good enough? Nutes usually crackle, like firecracker weed lol. Pop pop pop pop! If it taste like shit/harsh then you screwed up the drying, to quick. If its cleanish and just popping it could be seeds. But if its sparkling, its definitely Nutes. A water cure SHOULD help that. I've only done water cure twice and loved it, cleanest smoke I've ever had.

Just my thoughts
-Thor,

Best of luck bud

Thank you all for the awesome wisdom!!!

It sounds like I did not flush properly and there are possibly some mites still in there.

More Diagnosis Info:
Im hearing more of a crackle and fizzle, constantly....way tooo much to be mites. But then after I hit it, and its got a cherry, I hear little individual "tssssss" sounds as it burns...which makes me think thats the mites.
Ive heard seeds pop before, and its definitely not that.
It doesn't taste great, but I cant tell if its nutes or mites.
when I light a small stem, that also fizzles and crackles and makes the "tssssss" sound.....too much to be mites.....
Drying took 4 days...Thats my usual length for the past couple years doing this.
I can not see any mites with my magnifier, just beautiful mix of amber and cloudy trichs.


EITHER WAY........What can I do? IF anything.

Will a water cure work? THOR, how did you do yours?

Thanks AGAIN...

i have seen some people do water cure on here and while it makes the buds look a bid dull all reports are that they smoke really well

Im curious as to why a water cure would help the problem of poorly flushed buds. Im not doubtful, just purely curious. I like to know why Im doing something.....

it might have tiny immature seeds which will pop and crackle, or it could be that it is still a little wet, which will make it pop and crackle...will also make the ashes end black instead of burning all the way to white...spidermites won't make your pot crackle when you burn it.
