    Wood ash is a rapidly absorbable form of potassium. It’s great to mix into your soilmix before planting. I’ve never heard of using it in any other manner. Anyone else have some experience?

    would you mix in the wood ash for veg or would you mix into soil when you transplant before flower?

    Wood ash will lower your ph fast and hard (hard meaning down real low) if you go by recomended use you should be fine. Keep in mind that most gardens have something to buffer the PH… Stuff like lime or oyster shell. With this in mind you should consider how much buffering is going on in your grow spot.

    Pot ash is best for out door not indoor in pots.

    Pot ash will also burn root because it turns into a gas like nitrogen dose… Noh3..lol to far i know. Make sure your root zone has a lot of benifishal bacteria to help the roots… Stuff like plant sucsses.

    Hope that gets you pointed in the path you wanted

    2-3 cups of hardwood ash for every 3.8 cubic foot bale of Pro Mix BX. Added for both veg and flowering plantings…:-)
