Well? Is smoking either tobacco or weed or a combination of the two (yeah, I know, im English, we do that here sometimes) bad for the health of growing marijuana plants? Heard a few people say so, would like to know if its true, and why?

Coz tbh, ive been smoking off and on around my auto ak47's and they're growing bionically.

  • I've always heard that tobacco smoking around plants kills from all the toxins in the stuff. And when you smoke it get on your hands so if you touch your plants with cigarette hands it's also said to be bad for them.


  • As for smoking weed, I've never heard anything bad about it. Maybe the plants can smell their sisters being burned so they get scared??:leaf:

nicotine is like poison to a marijuana plant....pure and simple, hands have to be washed every single time a plant is being handled

Don't smoke cigarettes around your weed. Too many chemicals in it for it not to do something bad to it. Remember it is alive, it does breathe.

i smoke in my grow room everyonce ina while, i agree that ciggaretts are a NO-NO. but as far as iv heard, smoking bud in there doesnt do much other then introduce co2 into the room, tho im pretty sure the co2 from smoke is not usable by plants?

Ha ha, like that last post. So the consensus is - tobacco smoke = poison = bad for plants to breathe (makes sense). But it probably wont kill them, although it obviously wont help them.

Tbh I could probably do with cutting out the baccy - so American style J's it is then:bigjoint:

Umm. Nicotine is a pesticide. It's sprayed on plants every day. In fact it's listed as an organic pesticide.

Particulates in smoke however can clog a plants pores inhibiting it's ability to exchange air.

Ooh, really? Never heard that. How is the nicotine applied? Im guessing soaking tobacco perhaps. Seems an expensive thing to use, but not if you grow your own baccie too lol

Yep just soaking the leaves in water then foliar feeding. Tobacco dust is also very high in N and K which makes it a great buffer crop. Farmers fertilize and make pesticide all in one swoop.

I can't think of any over the counter stuff that uses it but the spray is common in gardens around the south. Agriculture ivariety is called nicotine sulfate. The only commercial product I've seen personally was called Black Leaf 40 which was still hard to find. According to some article the over the couter varieties called neonicotinoids.

Smoking around a plant is beneficial for several reasons. 1. An environment high in carbon monoxide will help ensure female plants. 2. Between your breath and the smoke there is a huge amount of carbon dioxide when you exhale. 3. The smoke and the smell will help to deter bugs from nesting in your grow area. Look it up!!!

Yeah open a book bro!!! Read about the benefits of CO and CO2 for your plants and also read how plants are not subject to carcinogenic substances like we are. Read how subjecting your plants to an environment of carbon monoxide for a couple hours will GUARANTEE your plants will be female and read about the huge amont of CO2 in smoke and breathe. Let's read a book together.

Go back, read the thread... I do it all the time, in fact lots of people do, our plants are fine - as the other guys said its probably not great for them but its certainly not deadly. although i like how people have been brainwashed with this "smoking = instant death to you and everything around you" attitude . if i'm honest i dont want future generations smoking ciggarettes so yay for impressionable people like you :)
