I’m an organic soil farmer. I don’t cultivate plants. I cultivate the soil and it does the rest. I knew the cigarette would go back to soil eventually. It’s amazing how much and how quickly the soil will eat. Most people don’t see soil as a living. You couldn’t count the amount of life in one spoonful of rich soil.
The filter never goes away, when I was a smoker I dropped one from time to time in on of my plant pots. After 10 years not single one decomposed despite I watered the thing regularly.

The living bacteria inside all of our animal foods which helps us digest our food. This is why they pasteurise everything, to keep us sick. They say bacteria makes us sick when in fact it’s chemicals and toxins that make us sick
The moss and algae in this video inspired me to make an abandoned city diorama terrarium. Interesting to see that the cigarette butts don’t decompose… but the diorama is the main thing I’m leaving this video with. Thanks for giving me yet ANOTHER project I want to work on…
It's a Timelapse ... not a movie ! At the begining it's 1 picture per minute until 1253 - after 1 picture every hour until 752 - after 1 picture every day from day 32 to 365 so it's "only" 1253 + 752 + (365-32) = 2 338 pictures

Super cool time lapse and quite the eye opener. There must be quadrillions of these scattered about the world, buried in our soils, in the wild, in the gardens, affecting plant life everywhere. I’m probably responsible for hundreds of them back in my youth I’m sorry to say. Cigarettes were the best thing I ever gave up. Only took a handful of attempts and 30 years of my life to beat the dam things. I’m only 7 months and 2 weeks clean of them but I’m over them for good. Still get the cravings, but I take deep breaths and think about all the people we’ve lost to these disgusting things. It was my favourite poison but that’s exactly what they were. Good riddance.
@@hizzlemobizzle yes they are. Cellulose acetate is biodegradable. Reality is not as simple as a blanket description of plastic equals non-biodegradable.

Those cigarette butts were basically untouched after a whole year.
@@ilanvolved8695 You can see it is continuous filming. The water is traped withing the sealed jar. If it was empty you will see water vapor instead of liquid water
I believe the plant died due to lack of humidity. As whenever you move plants from indoor to outdoor, they have to adjust to it slowly. Just as it does with humidity. I could be wrong, but it's what I have found out with my plants. Best of luck and great video!
I was thinking along those lines as well. The plant needed a similar setting to how it was grown originally and to be slowly introduced to a more normal environment.
The filters on cigarettes are made of cellulose acetate (a type of plastic) which is slow to degrade in the environment. A typical cigarette butt can take 18 months to 10 years to decompose
Yes, and with over 5 trillion consumed annually that means that over 3 trillion are directly disposed of (litter) into the environment; the rest going to landfill or incineration.
A biodegradable plastic at that. I wonder if an aerobic environment would have degraded everything faster. Use a Pasteur type valve and filter. Awesome video and the power of microbes!
The plant died because of the environmental change--it was extremely humid in the jar. It wasn't acclimated to storing water yet so it dried up. Keeping it in a covered container for awhile could've helped
Wow, i would never have thought that life in a closed jar would survive more than a few days. Instead an entire stable ecosystem developed, containing animals, plants, mushrooms and probably viruses and bacteria. Mindblowing :)
it’s incredible,,,just like i saw a tuft of green grass flourishing in a nearly invisible crack in the hot asphalt at and extremely heavy trafficked and busy intersection, it had no business there, getting ran over by hot tires all day and night, yet it was thriving.
Fun fact. Birds have begun to use cigarette butts as pieces in their nests because the nicotine kills parasites and keeps their young ones healthy. I once had a full ashtray that I left outside and in less than two hours it was empty because all the birds in the area picked it clean for their nests.

Yes, to evaluate the degree to which cigs affect the growth of algae and a tiny plant; it’s unclear whether the plant was already present in the soil or was added.
@@7R4dicalized probably present in soil at the beginning. Must be some others , but it wasn't a great place for a plant to grow. With no air, no space, constant humidity everywhere and no rain...
Look like it mostly start from the cigarette. They had some bacteria in them that took most the glass at first, or it's just the better source of nutrition that existed in there.
It would be cool, but there would be way too much randomness involved to draw any conclusions from such a small sample. A single mold spore could change the whole outcome in any jar.

Absolutely LOVED watching this - especially all the mites, collembola, nematodes, and other tiny little invertebrates that in the accelerated depiction, seemed to be zipping around all through the soil in the jar. The persistence of the filters was not surprising, but a clear demonstration of how long they'll last in the environment when they just get thrown out a window or otherwise dropped on the ground.
Yes but at least it looked like a home for some microbes and possibly algae. I mean, a rock would be a suitable home as well, but just as a sunken ship is to fish, might as well live wherever you're given opportunity.
REALLY awesome video - I loved seeing all the little critters zooming about!! I think that little plant might have been a young fern plant. I reckon it might have passed because of shock. If you're happy for me to share what I'd do next time: I'd plant it in another sealed pot with a similar humidity/atmosphere using the soil it originally grew in. Over time you'd be able to acclimatise the plant to being exposed to a different environment (air temperature or humidity changes, etc). I've grown a bunch of ferns in the past, so hope that helps. Great content!
I was thinking along those lines. The plant was born and growing in the jar, and then it was transplanted to a radically different environment, it very likely wasn't adapted for that.
The relieve when he opened the jar after a year of standing still and filming must be gigantic! I hope he can buy a really good chair from making this video!

@@canuckistanisg Filters vary by nation but that's a myth that keeps popping up. There is no fiberglass in cigarettes in the US or EU. The only "cigarettes" with fiberglass filters are Eclipse "flameless" cigarettes which I haven't seen in over 2 decades. Having said that most nations do use cellulose which decomposes much slower than either cotton or hemp filter.
A Really cool timelapse. Must have taken constant monitoring to make sure the camera was rolling. Also a very nice, though propably not intended, demonstration of why cigarette butts are a big problem. The wrapper being made of paper and the tobacco itself being just dried up leaves means they'll desintagrate in roughly a couple months. The butts however are a type of plastic, and will as such take many years to decompose. So one more thing to keep in mind if you smoke. (sorry for any spelling errors im still studying english.)
Ppl should smoke all natural cigarettes like Nats or American Spirits. The former being the better of the two. 100% all natural, NO chemical additives or additives of any kind except for good ol' H20. Most importantly, the filters are made of 100% cotton, so they will disintegrate as well. Albeit slightly slower still, it will most definitely decompose
Hopefully this guy has a cigarette butt sitting in some soil and we’ll see when/if it breaks down. I’m 48 and a smoker so I probably won’t see the results, lol! ❤️🇦🇺

@@BearGryllsSpoofs that is fungi AND moss, due to the moisture and the enclosed system as well as the nutrients contained in the soil, there was already spores and organisms there, that's not what happens to your lungs when smoking, however it does get pretty disgusting :)

you think that sad? think about the rest of the world
What a dedication 😊🙏 Amazing to see how many living beings were born and perished 🙏
Thank you for supporting this man
Thank you for the kind words and thank you so much for the donation! I will use the money to make more videos. I'm working on one right now, hopefully it will be done by this Friday.
@@PhotoOwl you're the most welcome! 😊 looking forward to it 😊
能真正行动的人是伟大的
To be honest there is NO WAY for the viewer to PROVE this was a year. so leaves room for doubt in a logical thinker's mind.
I love that you tried to save that little plant....I think it just wasn't the right environment for it to thrive in, but kudos to you for trying.....most people wouldn't have done that & that makes you awesome! 😊
Maybe too much water?
Plant had a nicotine addiction and couldn't cope
@@MrLazy132 🤣
It was pulled out of a controlled environment into the open air. It never stood a chance.
If cigarettes can take life, they can produce too.
Watching the fungi march across the jar was really incredible! Great video!
that wasnt fungi, it was moss
@@milkmanSandro I was actually referring to the white hyphae!
I thought it was an editing tool curser, I need sleep lmaooo
I thought the carcinogens were doing weird shit to the soil.
Honestly looks like I’ll be using cigarettes as fertilizer
This was far more fascinating than it had any right to be...
Agreed.
You take one of the most precious things in this world: Time... Just to make the most beautiful time lapses that remind us all of life everyday. Props to you and your work, don't stop and always strive for success.
My brain was expecting "cigarettes" instead of "time" for some reason. I don't even smoke.
Time is an illusion...it doesn't actually exist rendering your comment about it being precious kinda silly.
@@cult-of-sporque LOL
@@xposed11 Time exists relatively (usually to an observer) , it's literally created by gravity and mass: So while somewhat unimportant to the grand scheme of things, it's still important to you and everyone else on the planet. Even so, time is still important to the Universe if you do some research. This renders your reply kinda silly, Melvin.
@@xposed11There are four dimensions, length, width, height, and time. Which would you rather I fall in love with, width? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
2:54 I expected a cloud of cancer to pop out😮
That was actually beautiful. Life in a sealed jar - left alone, but thriving. So wonderful to watch. The cigarettes just became part of the matrix.
They rly did not though.
No they didn’t. They looked very clean to me
as we all will some day. the circle of life
@@afrodieter8891 the filter didn't. the tobacco did...
That looked amazing I agree and definitely apart of matrix is tha
It's cool to see how the algae formed because of the constant light on that side of the jar
That took an unexpected turn, I thought nothing much would happen 😅
Well…tobacco is still a plant.
Yeah for real! Me too!!
that plant was tabacco???
@@laptopgaming It wasnt
@@TheBudderWizard 🤣🤣🤣 true,
So what have we learned you can either take a sigaret and smoke it or plant it and smoke 100 more of them lol
The patience and overwhelming power of nature.Momentary expressions in an ever changing unity.
So awesome how that not so large jar contains a whole different world in it
What if WE are just in a jar as well?
@@TheHEROFamilyI think that our universe is a tiny bubble in an even greater universe and that is a bubble in an greater.....
@@dmg4415 sounds about right to me
@@dmg4415you’re not the only person who thinks that, see: “The Local Bubble”
jesus is coming soon to unleash his rath
repent
If you try to save a plant like that again, replicate the environment it had or transition it slowly to open air. It will have a much better chance this way 😊 Beautiful video
I said it differently but this is exactly what I meant
But I really appreciate that he even tried to save it. Most people on YT would not give a f*ck about a little plant like this. Respect!
Wow you know lots about plants you should start a UA-cam channel
@@hipsonsogbo thank you 😁 maybe I will
@@jimboninho agreed
I didn't expect it to be so green. I would have loved to see some of it under a microscope. Great video.
he took soil for plants from bag, seems it was fertilized with Trichoderma fungus
@@plur_ndbn that's the only 'issue' I have with this video. People will probably assume this is a typical situation around cigarettes. It might be, idk. But there's no control jar.
@@omikronweapon there are no problem with cigaretes in soil. even filter can be just home for microoranisms and fungus, may be it can contain Pl(lead) that not naturally for soil but people have more dangerous and massive sources of lead then cigaretes
@@plur_ndbnLead symbol is Pb not Pl.
This video actually lasted a whole ciggy!
This shows the raw power and strength of nature. How it can never been stopped. Truly remarkable
Except for the filter of the cigarette. As shown AND known they are not rotting away. 👍🏻
I can stop nature
Nature does not keep it's dirt under an airtight lid.
nature so smart, its unbelieve.
Life is eternally permanent.
It would be even more interesting to see the contrast of a control jar throughout the experiment.
Yes, to evaluate the degree to which cigs affect the growth of algae and a tiny plant; it’s unclear whether the plant was already present in the soil or was added.
@@7R4dicalized probably present in soil at the beginning. Must be some others , but it wasn't a great place for a plant to grow. With no air, no space, constant humidity everywhere and no rain...
Look like it mostly start from the cigarette. They had some bacteria in them that took most the glass at first, or it's just the better source of nutrition that existed in there.
It would be cool, but there would be way too much randomness involved to draw any conclusions from such a small sample. A single mold spore could change the whole outcome in any jar.
@@styx85 true.
However if you mixed the coil all together, and the split it in two to make two jar, you can bet you got the same bacteria and seed in the two jar.
props to the cameraman for filming that jar for 365 days straight 👏
Without moving either
@@jacobthompson7508 Damn, not even bathroom breaks… I rarely get thru a nite without 1-2 😀
I'm sure they just did other vids while that camera was there.
@@bunziix no, a cameraman is a cameraman.
These “props to” comments are getting a bit old!
how bro predicted that the video will get 13 millions views
I was about to say nothing remarkable happens, and then it did.. Nature is a true wonder that always finds a way to leave you in awe!
I love how the soil and organisms create a self sustainable eco system inside the jar.. 🥰
Honestly there are very few who would have the patience to make videos like yours! Absolutely phenomenal, you're the living example of original and true content.
And your videos are so so good, it feels like I'm sitting inside a time machine or sometimes like I'm having a foresight into the future. Scary and impressive at the same time.
Last but not least, don't smoke guys. You're not helping anyone!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to know that my dedication to creating these videos is being appreciated.
@@PhotoOwl Couldn't even begin to imagine how much patience you'd have to have to make these videos.
All the best you've got my support as long as you post.
"Hurr Durr don't smoke" Ain't no one ask your opinion, civ.
@@aug1799 wdym patience? not touching something for a year = patience?
Not dissing the video, it's great. But this doesn't require patience, isn't original nor is it... true? (huh?)
Sorry I don't wanna be rude or anything but your comment triggered me so hard.
@@SentinelAntioch excellent take
That "TIME LAPSE" SOLD ME GOT ME TO CLICK ON THIS 😂
Absolutely LOVED watching this - especially all the mites, collembola, nematodes, and other tiny little invertebrates that in the accelerated depiction, seemed to be zipping around all through the soil in the jar. The persistence of the filters was not surprising, but a clear demonstration of how long they'll last in the environment when they just get thrown out a window or otherwise dropped on the ground.
Yes but at least it looked like a home for some microbes and possibly algae. I mean, a rock would be a suitable home as well, but just as a sunken ship is to fish, might as well live wherever you're given opportunity.
Don’t birds bring cigarettes back to their nests to keep parasites and mites away?
REALLY awesome video - I loved seeing all the little critters zooming about!! I think that little plant might have been a young fern plant. I reckon it might have passed because of shock. If you're happy for me to share what I'd do next time: I'd plant it in another sealed pot with a similar humidity/atmosphere using the soil it originally grew in. Over time you'd be able to acclimatise the plant to being exposed to a different environment (air temperature or humidity changes, etc). I've grown a bunch of ferns in the past, so hope that helps. Great content!
I was thinking along those lines. The plant was born and growing in the jar, and then it was transplanted to a radically different environment, it very likely wasn't adapted for that.
@@Thedarkbunnyrabbit Tbh to me it looked like the soil he put it in was just way to wet and the roots probably rotted immediately :(
@@meinnase That's also possible. He should have definitely kept the same level of moisture as the jar.
I bet when u get together for family and friend gatherings, the main topic of conversations is "what r u going to do next?"
If the family get together is at his house, the main topic of discussion is "What's that awful smell coming from the garage??"
0:36 love in Timelapse you can see all the micro critters
Yesss😊
The relieve when he opened the jar after a year of standing still and filming must be gigantic! I hope he can buy a really good chair from making this video!
This is the first time I felt sad at the end, I wanted this video to go on like forever. Great video as always
I love this content! Thank you for the time and dedication it takes to do this
I’m so glad you filmed this in 8K so I can watch this in the corner of my 1080P IPad screen :>
The music and editing in this video are superb. The experiment takes on a choreographed vibe, like nature's spectrogram.
okay
He was one song away from this not being nearly as interesting.
This is time lapse (still shot) photography, all stitched together to create a continuous video. I'm wondering just how many individual photographs comprise this video??? It's AMAZING>
@@David-eh9yvconsidering it's a time lapse probably not
I would love to see this same experiment but with proper ventilation, just not completely sealed off.Great video!
You'll be waiting a while 😂
there's no proper ventilation in soil
@@thekenyonsquad5672 that would imply that we live in a closed glass jar.
@@Alternatedimension2 how does wind blow through soil onto a buried cigarette? maybe we have a misunderstanding.
Ok girls that's enough
A great video, nicely done. It's amazing to see how much life and movement is to be seen in a closed environment.
Makes one ponder is the earth a closed environment..aka under a dome?
@@fraserbuchan7421 One could argue that we are in a closed environment, and our atmosphere is the dome.
Everything is so far away from us that this planet may as well be in a glass jar. We only have what's already here and the sun's rays.
I am curious what the plant was and why it died. There must have been a seed in the original soil. Amazing video.
This.
The jar was probably the best environment for it’s life, stable temperature and a lack of oxygen, maybe…
@@identifiantidentifie397I thought the same thing
It was the cure for cancer. Ironically, it grows from tobacco. The government came into his house the day before, knocked him out with chloroform and then proceeded to poison the cancer cure sapling. CCS for short.
i think its because it needed nicotine to survive bc it was the only environment it was used to
Please keep producing these amazing videos!
I'm very glad you think they are awesome. I try my best to make them as good as I can. Thank you very much for the support, I will use the money to fund more videos. :)
@@PhotoOwlhell yeah 👍
proof that cigarettes are healthy, they helped things grow
Not sure "healthy" is the right word! xd
This whole process was kinda beautiful
Incredible! I would love to see a behind the scenes of how you film these for so long, where you keep all the stuff etc!
Now that’s one SMOKIN’ video! *Badum-pssshhh!!!
Good try
So they're good for the planet, Ill start planting some
At 0:59 you can see the fungus mycelium start to consume the cigarette and reduce it to compost
Pretty incredible that you put so much effort into your videos. To be able to leave a camera running in a space for a year strait is incredible
Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy you like them! Today comes a new 8k video :)
Wtf..?? Time lapse isn't a video in fast forward...
@@jerryboics9550 that’s not what was said brother :). Appreciate your thoughts but we’re both aware of what a time lapse is. Cheers
@@jerryboics9550 I'm pretty sure it is??
Most underrated channel.
i appreciate the dedication and effort to make this video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is waaaay more riveting than anything that's come out of Hollywood in years!
Truth
100% accurate. Hollywood's a joke! They're so hellbent on making as much $ as possible that they reject all creative/genius/original scripts and only accept the same Superhero arc we've all seen a billion times. They make movies like "The Avengers" due to the fact that it panders to a low IQ demographic that eat it up everytime, thinking it's brilliant when really it's the death of art. They just made a movie about Mario Kart... R.I.P. art.
@@TThoMusicschizo
@@TThoMusic Well that is not entirely true. If they would be, then they would do stories that are watchable. They are hellbent on ideology and that ideology is in direct conflict with meritocracy. The result is apparent.
"ooh cool video, time to comment some ideological shit and then yell at people"
Fantastic 👌 This channel deserves much more 🙌 keep it up 🔥
4:08 plant died due to the lack of nicotine. in short: a junkie ;)
😅
1:15 weed has joined the server
3:02
All the hundreds or thousands of tiny creatures that spent the last year making this little jar of dirt their home:
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
This was beautiful to watch ❤ shows us how powerful nature really can be. Everything returns to the soil eventually
Except fiberglass. Smoke cigarettes without filters if you're going to smoke. That way everything does return to nature
@@canuckistanisgand that includes the person smoking 😂
@@andrewgorman9836And the person that doesn't smoke. They will die too. Rott and give brith to life. Grand Papa Nurgle loves you.
@@canuckistanisg Filters vary by nation but that's a myth that keeps popping up. There is no fiberglass in cigarettes in the US or EU. The only "cigarettes" with fiberglass filters are Eclipse "flameless" cigarettes which I haven't seen in over 2 decades. Having said that most nations do use cellulose which decomposes much slower than either cotton or hemp filter.
Itz weed ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The amount of time this guy waits just for a single video, with many things happening in that timespan just amazes me
glad to know i was out here living and these cigarettes were just.. in dirt
A Really cool timelapse. Must have taken constant monitoring to make sure the camera was rolling. Also a very nice, though propably not intended, demonstration of why cigarette butts are a big problem. The wrapper being made of paper and the tobacco itself being just dried up leaves means they'll desintagrate in roughly a couple months. The butts however are a type of plastic, and will as such take many years to decompose. So one more thing to keep in mind if you smoke. (sorry for any spelling errors im still studying english.)
Ppl should smoke all natural cigarettes like Nats or American Spirits. The former being the better of the two. 100% all natural, NO chemical additives or additives of any kind except for good ol' H20. Most importantly, the filters are made of 100% cotton, so they will disintegrate as well. Albeit slightly slower still, it will most definitely decompose
Hopefully this guy has a cigarette butt sitting in some soil and we’ll see when/if it breaks down. I’m 48 and a smoker so I probably won’t see the results, lol! ❤️🇦🇺
Now that's pretty freaking awesome you can see all the little organisms moving around in there that's cool
Had my morning shit/smoke watching. Cigarette filters are a hardy ass substance, its used in jails for making a stab like object as it gets hard as hell when burnt.
This was far more emotional than I expected...
Me @4:15: “I swear if this fucking thing grows back into a cigarette…”
2:42 - This should be printed on every cigarette pack from now on.
Great work once again!
why ?
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme if this is what happens to a jar in a year, imagine what is happening to your lungs 🤣
@@BearGryllsSpoofs that is fungi AND moss, due to the moisture and the enclosed system as well as the nutrients contained in the soil, there was already spores and organisms there, that's not what happens to your lungs when smoking, however it does get pretty disgusting :)
If you put an apple in the ground, I bet it does the same thing lol. Would be pointless to put on the back of cigarettes.
@@Gandhi_Physique the apple is more likely to grow into a tree
I actually like these videos. Everytime I see them I get interested. Keep up the good work bro❤😊
I find it even more interesting looking at how many living things are in there!
Warning for cigarette:
Don't take in soil, soil is injurious to cigarettes health.
