Holy crap, I just read the entire thread. All 31 pages. I was considering trying this in hydro.... Up until the boil the roots part.
It seemed like it was making sense. When the plants look like they are at peak harvest I would try it. I would add a dehumidifier to the flower area and fill the reservoir up to the net pots with full strength nutes. The rock wool in the net pots would be just touching the nutrient solution. Set the chiller to 49*F. Turn off air pump. Then top up with ph'd water daily for the next 5 days with hids still on 12/12. Shut lights off for 48hrs and chop.
I was really going to try this. But then this thread started going to the "boil the roots" direction and I realized that this is a myth someone is trying to create by saying that regular flushing is just a myth.
Another thing that threw me off a little bit at the beginning of the thread was when they were saying that clean white ash has nothing to do with how well the bud was finished.
Honestly the best bud in any joint only leaves a clean white ash behind and that is definitely not a myth.
Great read
@RM3 but I am not convinced that "drowning the bitch" is the best way to treat her at the end of a good grow.
