Help! quick question

[ClosetKing]

a cfl fell onto one of my plants, the bulb broke in one spot in the soil.
is the white powder lining the glass toxic?

 

[dan.knell]

yes but if you got it off and it didnt pertrude the top of your soil you should be fine.

well they contain mercury, so i would advise a very good cleaning and ventilating of the room they are in cleaning

lol, i went and vacuumed the soil around where the bulb fell. its pretty late into flowering, im just wondering if the mercury could somehow trickle down to the buds

its very lil mercury and its vaporized quickly so the biggest threat is inhaling it.

You bet ur sweet buds it's toxic!!! MERCURY IS EXTREMELY TOXIC and can be inhaled and absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes...that goes for your plants roots and leaves as well! Flush your girl out really well and toss some molasses & chamomile (dissolved in water of course) in there afterwards. Maybe even consider flushing twice.

Maybe I am just overreacting, I dunno, I'm kinda weird

Chamomile is a great source of potash, calcium and sulfur, and is also good at boosting your plants. Also, it perks your plant up after the flushing, or any kind of stress for that matter. I had a dying seedling a while back and I am convinced it was the chamomile that saved it. Try it out some time.
O yea, it also makes your plants smell AWESOME!

This is just something I picked up working at a garden center a few years back.

IM flushing for harvest, but im going to try this.

Your buds will be sweeter if u use actual tea grounds vs composting the entire plant. Perhaps use 4-6 tea bags per gallon of water and a 1/2cup or so of molasses, great combo . . . highly recommended.
