@RM3

I apologize for the touchy remark, even though it is far less abrasive than some of the chatter on here, I do regret that exact statement.

I realize that after you put hard work into something and produce results, it is tough to respond to criticism, but for me personally I am fascinated by chemistry and all processes revolve around chemistry plain and simple.

It is like speaking another language of sorts. Unfortunately, I tend to analyze processes, like these, thru the lense of chemistry, because how else do you understand all these things going on?

I have been making home made DIY fertilizer from fermented Stinging nettle. Going on 4 years now.....I absolutely had to learn chemistry to understand the process.....I probably have run close to 2000 batches of sealed fermented plant extracts in this time.....
Accepted and awesome !!! everything I have done was to make my smoke more potent, it has all worked and verified by others doing it (not to mention it was years ago) I guess when I find something that works I stop lookin in that area and move to another like how I just spent the last year on this early amber thing. Now I'm getting ready to grow land race sats indoors for the first time with T5's LOL some would say I'm insane :)

After adding the boiling water should I turn the lights off for the next couple days until I chop? I'm thinking I should as the plant is dead.

I already added the boiling water before I asked. Heh. OK, I'll leave the lights on. Thanks RM3!

I know exactly what I posted, as I said been doin this for years, and I know a lot of other growers that do it as well. I can tell you this much, once you do it , you'll never look back
the biochemical pathway you posted has absolutely nothing to do with boiling water. You dont have any idea what you posted. L O L.

ahh yes I do and yes it does, it is what happens in ALL plants when they are O2 deprived via the roots and boiling water in the root zone deprives O2

So basically you are cutting the stalk and leaving under the lights to dry. Why do you think this is so special? Or makes your smoke more special?
I tell born agains that they are not special, but they never believe me because they need to feel special, in spite of not one shred of evidence existing to support that "specialness". And yet they go door to door selling that special goodness. Amen.

My bad, I thought that instead of chopping your plants down and killing them that way, that you were killing your plants by pouring boiling water on the roots. Same thing, dead is dead.
Have you tried acid, or maybe you could draw and quarter those roots. I'm trying to think of a more horrific and dangerous plan to harvest my plants, but I'm stumped.

killing the roots, not the plant, it does not die right away in fact keeps growing :bigjoint:

OK I get it, you're KILLING THE FUCKING ROOTS and leaving it under the light for few days. LOL.. No wonder your plants dry so much quicker. This is worse than the door knockers.
You do the hokey pokey and turn yourself about, thats what its all about.
Buyers beware, crazy on sale cheap here.
Carry on RM3 you grow the most awesome special boiled root shit there is.

the evidence is posted, try a google search for alcohol fermentation in plants, read up on the subject instead of just sounding like a blockhead.

it is not sup[pose to Enhance anything, it starts the curing process. READ UP ON IT before you COMMENT ON IT and look like a tool.

not suppose to dry any quicker either, It starts the breakdown of sugars,starches and chlorophyll. If you read the info and understand how plants work, you would understand how this works. this should be under advanced anyways, not for noobs who don't understand.

i just dont see how that would work so is the plant gunna suck up the hot water ??? be real mate u are only dipping the plant in the boiling water if u have ever tryed it like i have u would no what happenes to the plant if u leave it for more then 10 mins it fucked u are gunna have to let the whole plant dry out with leaves still on it and u no how much of a pain that is to trim the roots are dead from boiling hot water on contact how is it gunna reach the plant itself ?? also u spose to hack the root ball off when u are done dipping
