Reminds me of a strawberry about 10 years ago. Beautiful, big, red, unmarred strawberry. I take a bite out of it, and as I pull it away from my mouth I see that the entire inside is filled with the remaining half of a living worm, along with a great deal of what I assume were its excretions. I see this just as the taste hits me. My wife heard the noise I made from across the house and assumed I was being histrionic, but she changed her mind once she saw the remains of the strawberry! In fact I think she came closer to vomiting than I did—fortunately I was right in front of the sink, so was able to spit it out and wash out my mouth immediately... It was years before I ate another strawberry without first cutting it in half.

Harvested some legal cannabis recently and on the advice of some forum users decided to try washing my buds. I'm damn glad I did. It was a three bucket rinse, the first with lime juice in hot water, then hot water, then cold water. I thought it was some hippy bullshit, but I had little to loose. The first bucket was just pitch black by the end of the washing. I dumped out the water straight into the toilet and soot dripped out at the end. Then I gagged when I saw probably two dozen drowned caterpillars by the end of all the washing. Who knows how much ash, pollution, and insect I've been smoking all these years.

  I mean, the ash part is kind of inevitable.

  Just did a hydrox dip after harvest about a week ago. Water didn't go black but it fizzed up pretty bad and had a lot of crap in it by the end. Couldn't even see the bottom of the wash bucket by the end. Dunno what you did that yours turned black, are you sure you didn't get a bunch of soil in the water? There shouldn't be tar or ash on live weed plants. It does make me question smoking any undipped pot though.

    It was probably from the wildfires this season, although I do live 2000 feet from a freeway.

      Were you growing indoors or outdoors? We got pretty smokey here from the wildfires, like a few weeks of constant haze, itching eyes and tasting and smelling smoke. I had not filters on the intakes or anything. The freeway may not help either.

        This was outdoor.

  Are you on the West coast of North America? I wonder if the black was from wild fire smoke/ash.

    Yep and it probably was. There were a few days before harvest where the air tasted like campfire, and the nearest fire was 50 miles away.

Reminds me of the time I bit into a big juicy overripe peach I'd just picked from the tree in our back yard. What seemed like hundreds of earwigs poured out, crawling all over my hand with some in my mouth.
