first off no no no. dont ever cut the damn buds off the plant . hang it up root and all and dont tuch a damn thing till the buds are dry . thc comes from the damn roots does anyone understand this???? if you cut branches off there is no reason to even hang the shit up. the reason of hanging a plant upside down for is to let all the thc fall out of the roots into the buds. make sense?????
I call bullshit
So what the hell is a soil grower supposed to do. I have never heard that thc is stored in the roots...



EDIT: Guess I should read the entire thread before posting LOL. I didnt notice there was 3 other pages of humor

Just wondering, i've heard that dipping the roots of the plants in boiling water before cutting the buds of to hang is better for some reason. Any one heard of this before?
to answer your question..no. just cut the plant at the stalk and hang. leaving the root ball on there will only slow down the drying process a lot and promote mold and fungus growth bongsmilie

The only reason that a female marijuana plant produces trichomes( the little crystals with THC in em) is to defend its buds/seeds from pests. Small bugs will land on the leaves of the plant and get caught in the sticky resin. They will get an extreme overdose of TCH and probably die or be overcome by inertia. Thats why you find little bugs on your leaves when you grow outdoors. So what would be the point of having sticky protective resin inside of the roots witch are already protected by soil?

Please learn a little more about what your talking about before you come on here and insult experienced people with harsh remarks and stupid theories.

I was kind of wondering how a "stuck" bug dies of inertia? That must be that special kind of not moving inertia. Or maybe they die from a lack of inertia. Inertia Defeciency.

I'm high..sorry

thanks, i never intended on leaving the roots on btw. my parents told me this on my first grow a few years back, that i should dip the roots in boiling water, then cut the buds off, trim them and hang em to dry. obviously it was just old hippy talk. thanks for all the feedback

No, it makes absolutely no sense at all.

THC is not created in the plant’s roots so there is no THC in the roots to; "fall out of the roots into the buds."

There also is no THC in the main stem or in the branches either to find its way to the buds.

I can't imagine what my kitchen would look like if I boiled the roots! I doubt this would work anyways.
haha...what your kitchen would like? Only a pothead would do that, and we would too! Wouldn't it be easier to just bring a pot of boiling water TO the plants instead of all the plants to the water...haha

Roots are where all the thc is...
That doesnt make sense any way i read it.

Wouldnt the roots be dead and not transfering anything at all after like 24 hours of drying? Also with the last week usually being a pure water flush what are the roots using to create this thc.

Seems like it would just increase your chance of mold wich can look like thc and give you a buzz with the right allergy lol.
