no, it hasn't been been well cured or dried, that must be what's making it so difficult to stay lit! Breaking it up to powder doesnt seem to help either because the moisture content in the center of the bud is too high.

I dont know it still works but it just seems to char.Anyone that grows know why this happens?

It happens in most cases with the grower used a lot of nutrients when he grew the plants and didn't take the time to flush the plants properly.

I just chop it with scissors until its like a powder almost when this happens. Smaller particles but with an over all greater surface area burn better.

---

kinda sorta...smaller particles generally burn more quickly and readily due to their increased surface area/ volume ratio, so there is more total surface area exposed to oxygen...however this only works if the particles have enough oxygen around them to be exposed to...in a packed bowl/joint setup, smaller particles means a higher packing density, meaning less airspace b/w individual particles...not only does this mean there is not enough reserve oxygen packed in with the bowl, but it also means that any natural or forced induction of fresh air into the bowl is going to be blocked, due to the lack of preferential air channels formed by these void spaces.  So chopping the weed finely will improve burn rate up to a point, but beyond that point you are just wasting energy chopping it up more...

Nah, I made a typo its well cured and dried. The comment about the poor flush is probably accurate. I know the grower often says, "Dont rush the flush". I mean it still works but seems strange its so fireproof. Any harm in smokin it?

All good. Grow your own and you can guarantee the quality of the flush.

Or grow organically and don't flush at all

Ok, I have been growing since the mid 80’s and the entire time I’ve heard how organic bud is better tasting and such. I always felt that this was true just cause when you listen to why it is suppose to be better then buds grown with synthetics or chemical nutrients it seems to make sense. Then I saw this show called bullshit with Penn and Teller and the subject was organic food. I saw the test that they did and I just had to do em with buds.
Well the test was done at 3 different clubs and with a group of growers in Mendocino County. The strain used was Granddaddy Purple.
People were allowed to try free samples of organic grown and buds grown with General Hydroponics nutrients. Flora Nova and Kool Blooms.
Now the samples
2 plates of buds with labels showing but the buds switched. Organic buds in the hydro plate and hydro buds in the organic plate. 2 plates with no labels and the buds were in the right plate. Then for fun (he he he ) two sets of plates one with organic buds in both plates and one with hydro buds in both plates.

The results.
Buds in the right plate but no labels showing  73% of people picked the hydro buds as better tasting and smoking buds.

Buds in the plates with the labels showing but with the buds switched 87% picked the organic side with the hydro buds in the plate. (Even so far as going and saying they can taste the soil then getting very pissed when shown the bud they picked)

Then the same buds divided into two and put into labeled plates. So what I mean here is buds from the same plant put into two plates with different labels to see if anybody would notice. In both sets of plates 87% of people again picked the Organic as better tasting in both sets even though it was the same bud divided into two plates. I heard comments on how the organic tasted “earthy cleaner, less salty, and one who insisted that the organic buds burnt better then got pissed when told he picked hydro in every instance.


Both sets of buds were flushed for one week before harvesting.

Conclusion is that properly grown hydro buds seems to be as good in every way as organic buds.

I just found out why it doesnt burn so well. The high THC content, one toke and its time to lay down.

Do you mean to say indigenous(local to) rather than indigent(lacking, poor, etc)?

So this pot is so strong it won't burn, kind of ironic as that's how we tend to enjoy our pot.

I bet it's one of those bad ass auto-flowers his friends keep in veg and take clones from.
I feel safe to say this guy is full of shit, and wouldn't take a damn thing he says seriously.
