To Smoke or Not to Smoke?

and there we have it....a scientific answer. and if you look at your girls the same way you do a living thing....like a cow.... then it does apply....people for the ethical treatment of marijuana plants.....

It wasn't the cow part of your analogy that didn't work it was the eating steak part that was wrong. your looking at it wrong, your forgetting there is a byproduct of smoking next to your plants, SMOKE. The eating of a steak infront of a cow show's no byproduct. maybe by making the cow eat the byproduct (you know what I talking about) your analogy would make more sense
 
Ive heard from the guy that owns harvestmoon hydroponics(an 11 store chain on the east coast) that it's bad for plants in general to smoke around them but he was talking about ciggarettes but it might apply for weed too, then again it's just what one guy has told me.
 
When I start my grow. I wont smoke in front of them. WHAT KIND OF EXAMPLE WOULD I BE PRESENTING,GOD!!! I MEAN WHAT IF THEY GET CANCER IN THERE LITTLE STEMS!?!?!? On that note, I dont think its right to smoke infront of them, be a good parent. : )
 
Your second hand smoke contains carbon monoxide which is harmful to the plants, and like Johnny said, it closes the stomata. One thing that would be interesting though is to leave a bunch of apples around your girls when they are almost done flowering, b/c apples secrete ethylene gas from their pores which is a hormone that causes leaf abcission and fruit ripening.

Just my two cents...

Just a silly question: Carbon Monoxide is released smoking marijuana too? I thought that was only burning cigarettes that did that. Maybe I am just dumb today ...
 
I think you should weight the benefits vs the harms. Smoking in front of your plants releases CO2 because you're fucking breathing, so why smoke when you could just breathe??? That to me would be a enefit-for both you and your plants. Secondly, smoking releases carcinogens, thereby polluting the air. Adding smoke to the plant's environment takes away from the the amount of beneficial things in the air, e.g. CO2, humidity level. Does that sound like a good idea? I don't think you would be asking the question if you just exercised some common sense. smoking is bad for you for the same reasons it's bad for your plants. (or vise-versa?) peace.

Yes it does contain CO, and I have a few published articles from scholarly journals to back that up too... Also, that link posted by Dr. High was interesting, but it contains some false information. If you want real facts and data, read the actual research papers and see the data for yourself (i.e. that web page you posted contains a lot of hearsay with no citations or data to back it up). Although a lot of it WAS factual, I DID find some things in that page that were false. It was an interesting read, and thanks for posting it.

ding, ding, ding - we have a winner! even though it just one little oxygen atom - there is a HUGE difference between CO (carbon monoxide) and CO2 (carbon dioxide).

Just to get a little more scienced up, can you point me to a research showing how much CO (not CO2) smoking marijuana produces? Just interested is all.
 
Johnny weed seed said all that needed to be said, but im in my grow room all day so I can't help but blaze a little...I don't think it would cause a huge effect unless you got the place hotboxed all day and shit!!
