bong water...

hmm well smokeing around your plants is bad so i would think other by products wouldnt fare well for the plant either but who knows lets see what other people think.

and what about pot ashes in the dirt... bad idea as well?

I'd imagine bong water couldn't possibly have any nutritional value for a growing plant. To put it another way; would you drink it?

Same goes for ash, use dirt like all the rest of us (unless your a closet hydro )

Squishy I always thought smoke would be OK for the plants. Don't plants recycle co2, smog, pollution, smoke, etc to make oxygen? Isn't that one of the main functions of all plants? I'm not suggesting blowing all your cigs and hits onto a flowering plant. But a little oxygen deprivation can't be that bad, right?

yes indeed they do but like you've written in previous posts about clipping off some of the smaller buds because they waste energy that can be focused else where well the same goes here. Why cause your plant to work harder filtering when it can be spending that energy on making buds. Just my two cents.

Well i believe it is more of an issue in clogging the.....forgot the name of the tiny respitatory holes under the leafs (stomata?) clogged respiratory cells equals suffication right? because of the tar and shit from smoke...

Ya that too probably i dunno but whatever the reason its still not good news.

Here's how it works.

Plants, are just the opposite of Mammals. We love fresh clean oxygen saturated air. Anything other than oxygen we take in is a by product that produces waste.

Plants being the opposite of oxygen loving mammals, love fresh, clean Carbon Dioxide, or Co2. Anything other than fresh air with a concentration of Co2 will produce a byproduct, not Oxygen. The only element the plant turns into Oxygen is Carbon, and in the form of CO2. They absorb the Carbon, leaving only the o2 for us to enjoy and live.

We don't like to breath smokey air (unless we're getting high), it isn't good for us, and it's not good for your plants. They would appreciate however, a Co2 Tank releasing at 2Liters per minute/ 3 times a day/ for 15 minute intervals. ALSO since mary jane is able to absorb nutrients and water from the leaves, they can also absorb Co2 from Carbonated Soda. They will love and appreciate you for it.

Bottom Line, Don't smoke around your plants, unless you want your kind buds to taste like Bong Water.

Peace,

Lol so im not wrong i said it was bad for the plants. Its not my fault i don't have a fancy chemistry major like some of us.

Tenn sounds impressive. Why can't ashes be good for plants? The ashes from my wood stove are good for my grape vines.
