And after boiling the roots leave them for another week or 2? I want to experiment with this myself

Just till they fade, usually only takes a few days (3 to 7)

Tis not what it's for, so don't expect it, ALL it does is start the cure early

Tupapa said:

Oh ok.,. So thats all? Only starts the cure like still attached to the plant itself?

That is what it does, all plants do it, tis science, when there is no O2 in the root zone (think floods) all plants ferment sugars into alcohol to survive

Once dry the bud will smoke as if it was in the jars for 7 to 10 days

Could you do the same by just keeping your table flooded for "x" amount of time? Boiling water isn't a choice for me but I find the idea intriguing.
