Ash from my Blue Dream crop.
I'm sure many of you have been on the receiving end of a joint before, but have you ever stopped to look at the ash at the end?
These cinders reveal a lot about the Tendering Healing Care the grower gave their plants. Having seen a lot of forms of flower, I've seen my share of black to snowy white ashes. If your joint ash is black and coal like, then the flower you're smoking has a lot of residual elements left in the plant. White ash, shows that your grower took the extra time to ensure the plants were properly flushed.
I have also worked in the indoor garden business and you'd be surprised about how many people are ignorant on proper flushing techniques. Some opting not to flush at all for a quicker turnaround. Since this is something you're putting into your body, make sure you're putting in only the beneficial elements of cannabis.
