Quality over Quantity techniques

I'd definitely make some noise if my lower half got boiled!

 

[CrocodileStunter]

I'll admit it was hard to do it hahahaha.

 

[Chunky Stool]

I am very interested in this experiment!

Why do people think in binary terms?
Example: I can cure this fast or slow.
Why not both? I quick dried a few ounces of my last crop because I wanted something to smoke now. The rest is slow curing with boveda packs.

I fast dry tester buds but never my harvest

the experiment has started. boiled water went in one of em.205 degrees is what the candy thermometer said... iced water in one, 33(plus ice coverage) degrees and tap water 68 degrees. they all received 9 cups of water... the boiled one instantly got "loud".

Next one should be a hack the root off versus boil. I did try the boil thing years ago after I read about it, and I can't remember the outcome but pretty sure if it made a huge difference I'd still be doing it. But they were not the type of grows I was too concerned about in the proper cure catagory, hung, dried and bagged .

Since rm3 recycles his soil, I'm thinkin' boiling accelerates this process. I'm not convinced it affects quality.
Not yet, anyway...

I hope it does because rm3 told me about it and I'm gonna do it on 2 of my girls in 3 weeks

Do what?

 

[Budley Doright]

I just don't get why lopping off the roots isn't the same re lack of O2 but that's why I'm paying attention to this. Perhaps I'll do a couple of outdoor ones in the fall. Now Id have to fill my 100 litre Res with boiling water lol.

 

[Budley Doright]

Do what?

Makes it better .

Boil

So what's your best tip for getting good roots fast?

I use heavy rhizotonic at max dosage during those times to fill it which is 16ml per gal roots explode and I use mycos every transplant as well I know the canna will kill them due to being part synthetic but it's not fully so the mycos gets a chance to boost em as well.

 

[Afgan King]

They do that, I've even heard one scream

So interested in this boil thing willing to try it on a plants or two pretty much what 5 days before chop feed plain boiling tap water then let it dry and chop correct @RM3

you guys are over thinking things, the original way to do this was to leave the roots in water for 2 weeks, cutting off the oxygen.
when oxygen is cut off, sugar inside the plant begins to ferment.
Pouring boiling water on the roots is just a much faster way of getting this reaction to start. it isn't going to turn shit weed into gold, it isn't going to turn mids into top shelf. It just makes it so the cure begins much sooner than if you didn't boil the roots.

I understand that and I don't need it to do shit I just want to see for myself if there is any truth to it. Believe me my quality is thru the roof I shit on almost every dispensary in Colorado without trying I just want to see if it gives any unique qualities of curing to the bud faster. Here's me at day 35 of flower believe me I'm just wanting to try something different

 

[Afgan King]

So you have a full root ball in 14 days from seed??? ...., oh never mind lol. So you have a full root ball in 28 days? Lol

Not from seed that's from clone but ya fill 1 gal pot from clone in 14 days then transplant and 14 days in a 7 gal then flip to flower

when the plant is done, this is not a start flushing 2 weeks to chop kinda thing, water it with boiling water, leave it under the lights, for 3 to 5 days, the plant will fade and take on an appearance of done, chop and process normally

Sounds much like "ringing" the stem. Ever try that?

Girdling the stem makes gold buds, does not cut off O2 from the roots

and yes I've girdled several times
