    Default is it ok to ash (joint ash) in your soil???

    yeah , basically, my mate grew some potent skunk last year and he was ashing in the plants soil. so i have been doing this aswell, from when the plant was a seedling. even cigarette ash goes in their and it doesnt mind!
    i think this is because ash holds certain periodic nutrients and/or minerals that break down in the soil. it is a natural thing (from burnt trees in the forset which give nutrients to the soil) and ash from a joint also happens to be good for my plant! you should try it if you cant find your ash tray, the pot is an ashtray itself!

    from what i seen on the fourms ash's hold alot of nitrogen, but cig ash im not to sure if it good for your plant, tobacco is poisonous, unless boiled first, and made into juice to spray over the plants, good for killing those pesky spidermites. but i could be wrong im a newbie, maybe tabacco changes when it turns into ash, or hold the same properties. well enyways KEEP GROWIN ON.

    Ash can create an acidic solution... If I remember correctly from my childhood history classes ... If you mix Ash with water you get something called "Lye". You mix lye with fat to make soap, this soap is based on the caustic properties.

    See from wikipedia: "Lye is a caustic solution which is made from ashes and is used for glass, soap making, and certain food preparations and may refer"
    (direct link: Lye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

    Ok well i was searching the site for an answer to the questions asked on this thread. No one really ever gave a definite answer on the subject and i was wondering if anyone knew positively if cigarette and joint ashes are good for your plant?

    It's some kill ;]

    also people have started fires by putting cigarettes out in soil mixed with perlite. perlite is flammable, i also realize you are just talking about putting the ashes in the soil. i stubbed a cigarette out in my soil and the perlite started to smoke lol.

    Ashes from your joint have absolutely no value to your little baby's. It is even worse to use a cig's ash. Depending on what type of soil you are using most have a lot of nutrients that break up over time. Then with adding fertilizer to the mix you run the risk of burning your tap roots. Lucky for you you did not put enough ash in your potting soil to see a difference

    About the ashes I'm not sure but some other thread on here says that cigarette smoke is bad but weed smoke is very good for it because of it releasing co2
