Black ash...a commen and wide spread bit of misinformation being that no flush or over use of nutrients causes this- completely wrong. The drying processes and the “cure” or chorophyll purge, a natural process in which the dried buds try to save themselves by comverting that chrophyll into something else more tasty and less harsh. So black ash..means a rushed drying process or an incomplete or improper cure. Anyone can test this themselves. Leave a nug that burns black ash out for a week or two, the. Roll it up and witness the difference.
Bti for the win against gnats.
I believe both are true. No flush and over use of nutes, as well as failure to appropriately dry and cure can be the cause of black ash. A bad dried/cured bud will taste bad, have a black ash and make you cough; but certain nutes being left on board dry flowers can literally cause them to be damn near fireproof as well.
