and thats why your bud crackles like crack rocks when you burn it NO MATTER WHAT YOU CANNOT GET CHEMICALS OUT OF YOUR BUD WITHOUT FLUSHING. It will never happen, you may get better flavor than a less time cure but it wont ever equal a flushed and properly cured plant i know because i tried it when i was a noob, took two identical cuts, flushed one in final weeks left the other at 1700ppm til cut, took WAY longer to get the same flavor out of the 1700ppm plant and on top of that it crackled and was harsh unlike the other. Both pulled same day same amount of time in flower same strain. To get chems or nutrients out of your bud you must flush it does not break down like chlorophyl take it a week longer it will make ur bud stronger too more amber in the trichs and then pull it and cure and dry it. Dont listen to anyone who tells you not to flush its a very bad misnomer people tend to spread around because they just dont know the difference between buds with chems still in em and flushed buds.
Also the reason you probably dont believe in flushing as you said is because you use agricultural organics nutrients, that shit is organic, organics dont need as much flushing as chems but they still need to be flushed. Have you ever had some herb that snap crackle popped as you burned it and it tasted like straight chemicals? I have and it was cured for six months the right way, still no good my buddy hashed his whole batch because of it, plant finished way earlier than he expected and he had to cut it tried to cure it out and it didnt work. He used Cannas organic line and it was still bad
the only time ive
EVER had crackling buds is when i have smoked it wet, or un-cured.
i can personally guarantee that you CAN and WILL remove any chemical smell or taste by curing your pot properly.
yes i do use agricultural organics, but if you did a little bit more research you would find out that it is in fact NOT 100% organic and is actually a Synthetic/Organic fusion product.
i strongly disagree with your theory. why would you want to stop feeding your plants in the week when the most weight is put on your product? it just makes no sense at all to me, or some of the other reputable cultivators methods i have followed.
if your pot doesnt crackle, has a smooth taste, and burns clean Grey looking ash, then you have accomplished a proper cure and will have the best quality buds possible.
if you heal snap crackle and pop, find your smoke very harsh, and end up with Black or Blackish Grey looking ash, then you are too impatient to have the best quality smoke your plants can provide you..
