Boiling The Roots Before Chopping The Buds?

The best way to harvest (imo) is to cut the plants in the morning right BEFORE the lights come on.. it should be totally dark still as the carbs/starch/left over nutes, havnt been drawn up into the plant yet.. once the photosynthesis starts when the sun comes out(or lights come on) the plant is going to pull from the soil once the sun hits um.. thats my best recommendation, I dont think there is any thc in the roots.. I could be wrong..

But lets say you cut your plant down at 5 am.. I PROMISE YOU IT WILL TASTE A MILLION TIMES BETTER, than if you harvest it at 5pm...
thats my 2 cents

and this is my 5th post soo i probably wont have to much rep to my advice..

hey I posted an interesting article on monsanto.. if anyone is interested its a fairly interesting article posted up in the politics section .. (sorry to jump of topic... its just something very near and dear to my heart)

peace n luv
ez

goodluck with your grow... if you end up boiling the roots you should post some pictures ...lol

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?????

uh no, b/c that's completely wrong and you should be banned from the growing forums... read a book buddy, thc is in the trichome heads not the damn roots otherwise we'd smoke the roots.... wow

thc in the roots lol, i thought thc coverd the buds and sweet leaf to protect it from sun rays, and as a protection method against preditors. now what whould it be doing on the roots? lol

Actually, the THC is in the trichomes which are designed to catch the pollen of the male plant hence why they cover the buds and are sticky...

you dumb fucks where do you possiably think (crystals)(TRICHOMES)come from.haha i guess they just appear out of nowhere like majic. or just maybe thc travels up from the roots and forms crystals on the bud. not saying you cant cure any other way just saying if you want your bud at its fullest potential and highness. leave the roots on so the shit can drain out of the roots too

Write us a book Rosenthal, see if the entire growing community doesn't label you as our village idiot. THC is formed in the trichomes, it doesn't start in the roots and travel up, the roots just soak up water and nutes and the plant uses that to grow everything else... Why wouldn't we just smoke the roots instead of waiting for it to drain to the buds you fucking idiot. You don't know dick about what you're talking about, send a pic to high times or cannabis culture with your plant, roots and all hanging upside down and explain that the thc drains from the roots to the buds, see if they don't publish your photo and letter just to make fun of your retarded ass.... IDIOT!!!!!!

This is correct, harvest just before the lights come on and cut it at the base of the stem, during the dark photoperiod the plant stores starches and sugars in the roots and during the light photoperiod it pulls those starches and sugars up into the plant. By cutting it down at the end of the dark cycle you get a lot of those starches and sugars in the roots and lets the buds taste a lot better as opposed to tasting like plant matter.

hey mad kids
go to youtube .. look up
thc uvb, and me..

I dont think calling people dumb when They are trying to help you is very intelligent. So a couple people are having a little fun at your expense, ask a dumb question, or post dumb information chances are you are going to get heckled..
I mean where did this one guy come up with the idea to boil the roots?>>> mis information!!

lets try and not give advice unless you know what your talking about!... Im not an expert grower.. so how foolish would i look if I came in here and started fightin with the vets!!

food for thought buddy!

alright everyone should stop posting on this.. I had a question about staggering light cycles that I would still like to discuss with a few people..
is there anyway to kill a thread once its started? or can only the person who made it delete it?

i dunno about you all, but when i harvest...i just cut the plant off of the roots and toss it out, because we really only grow this stuff for the root system (kinda like a carrot or potato). then i wash off the soil and just squeeze the THC right into my mouth...amazing!
