    Nebula will always see white ash on hers because she doesn't have any of the factors we are referring to that cause black ash. I don't pretend to know what all the factors are, but I do know that black ash generally means bad taste.

    I read all the replies. I agree with all of you. It seems we all agree that many factors effect on what is going to be remained (never used such a verb before, wish I've written it correctly) in ash. But if it depends on many factors why do Nebula always see white ash in her own buds?

    In my idea the darker the ash, the incomplete the combustion. It's what i know is true for sure and this is the main reason that determine the color of the ash.

    I agree with Nebula, I have pot I'm smoking now that is bought (Purple Kush) and has a much greyer aspect to the ash.
    And yes, cannabis I have grown burns white. Must be the TLC. Tender Lovin' Care for you youngins'.

    I have seen, one time, a plant that when dried and cured would not burn. I really do mean that, cuz I tried. It was free. I tried. It would not burn, but I don't know why.

    It's interesting that was his experience! I've grown cannabis with and without flushing before, and I've never had that happen. When I first grew I didn't know to flush, but my ash has still always been white!

    Yes flock is right there is for sure countless factors and we cannot name them all but it all comes to how well it combust. Not what's in it. Certainly there could be chemicals that burn in diferent ways and very harmful pesticides and in not arguing.

    So the the thing is the oxigen. Combustion with low oxigen causes soot to form. This is because in a molecular level there was not enough oxigen to burn everything. Every body has seen how a flame is affected by oxigen and how it can cause things to for soot. So when you smoke not dried enough weed the ash will have black in it. i invite everybody to smoke some weed with 70% humidity and some weed at 50% and check it for yourself.

    Several factors will determine how completely the cannabis combustion is.. The more completely the combustion the whiter the ash. My 2c.

    started a topic What makes ash white or black?

    What makes ash white or black?

    If you burn cannabis, the ash will turn either white/gray or black. Most people agree that white ash is better or more "pure" than black ash, but what causes the difference?

    I've purchased cannabis that turns black after being burned, but to be honest, the ash of my home-grown cannabis has always been white. So it's hard for me to say for sure what's causing some people to get black ash, since it's never happened with bud that I've grown myself.
    • Many growers agree that certain pesticides or chemicals make ash turn black
    • It's possible that the drying and curing process can have an effect (for example using heat to dry your buds, or smoking buds that are still wet)
    What do you all think makes ash turn black or white?
