LOL you silly..., you should give this a try on one of your plant then you will understand why. I did tried and love it...it must for me every harvest and got me a real smoothiest smoke before i put buds in the cure jars.

just amazing....trust me you wont be disappoint with this drowning practice. I ve been there and done that.

please come back to do the smoke report with drowning.

or dont bother to post in here that you havent try this drowning practice.

happy gardening and peace.

Again what are you actually achieving here by drowning a plant ?????? is it like a myth of flushing a plant so that it gets rid of the nutrients in the bud :)) yea ok there to achieve smooth smoke its knowing how to DRY AND CURE anyone can grow weed its the last step DRYING the weed that takes knowledge
slowly dry your buds slowly and evenly allowing all the CBD's to be broke down to actual THC slow drying is key to smooth smoke, as in a sense your curing at the same time as well as strain types some are just harsh period hell i could roll you a joint you be thinking your smoking a menthol cig
and it would knock you on your ass you would inhale it and your throat would freeze up lol

first of all you have a beautiful laides in the picture ! but the picture isnt need in here to show off...this is all about drowning practice, if you wanna the best porn of buds then post at other thread, please. with no disrespect intended, sir.

Im exprienced grower with dry and cure process, you re very correct about drying and curing is most important to make buds more smooth when you smoke, in proper way, no question...but i mean this is all about fermentation process that give you jumpstart to start with..it will be not harsh when you smoke just bud drying part and havent cure yet but its really smooth. see what i mean ? Hope so that you do.

Stay high and keep your garden greener as always !

peace.

Fermentation process ???? you think drowning your MJ plant will kick of fermentation ?? fermentation process works little more differently then that but any ways have at er

If you have never used this drowning technique how could someone possibly comment against it.if you don't like trying different things its ok. Don't knock it until you try it.

Are you for real?

You created that account back in Sept. of 2012 and with your one and only post, you bumped this ancient ass thread just now. Have you been trying to reply to this thread this whole time and just now got around to it, or what?





No, but seriously....is this your first day at (t)rollitup?

EVERYONE "knocks it without trying it" on literally EVERY subject here.

Even some of the long time "pros" on this site with their armies of drones will knock shit they themselves have blatantly used incorrectly, or even worse, haven't used at all.

According to an old Hippie belief, drowning the plant forced it to produce more sugars and makes it taste sweeter. This is where the belief that a roots on flush is beneficail and to some degree does make the smoke more tolerable. I don't mind adding to an old thread. Maybe it took a while to get the plant etc

Wow.... I mean mindset. I drowned my roots recently after a few grows and being a total noob. I was finally able to use this technique. Drowning the roots works even for a noob. On that note by me being a beginner and not being well versed in the curing process this allows me to have some good quality end product while I still learn. As for all the info on flushing does and don't;This information is quite simple and very informative about bud ripeness for me. But then again I only grow hot peppers.

I didn't see anything in that thread about whether the roots are needed to get oxygen uptake in the foliage (it seems like leaves could just absorb it directly from the air), which was my question. If I missed it please point it out to me.

Aside from that, if the point of this is to prevent mineral uptake in the roots and/or induce fermentation in the roots causing them to produce alcohol which would then be taken up to the leaves and flowers, why not just cut the plant off at the base and stick the stem in a container with some water to which a little booze has been added?

At nightime, Plants take in Oxygen during the process of Plant respiration [the oxidation of certain substrates by enzymes, leading to a release of carbon dioxide. It can be loosely thought of as the opposite of photosynthesis, though the net release of carbon dioxide in respiration is less than carbon uptake in photosynthesis. Sources of glucose for respiration for plants are starch or directly from photosynthesis. So by starving the roots of oxygen by drowing, you slow down or halt this process all together. To me it makes perfect sense from a scientific stand point.

People please do some reading in a biology book before you say silly things like this ^^^^^^^^^^^^

From Ask.com "Respiration process in plants is the intake of carbon-dioxide and exhales oxygen during the day as the plants gets energy through the photosynthesis process in which the carbon-dioxide is converted into sugars using the sun light energy, as this process uses carbon-dioxide and water, the resulting gas oxygen is given out as a waste product. During the night, as the photosynthesis process cannot be happening without sun, so it exhales the carbon-dioxide itself. This is the respiration in plants in simple words."

I could go on for days with links, but I wont waste my time with you. Do you have any clue what you just copy and pasted???? NIGHTTIME BEING THE KEY HERE. I think yoiu're the one that needs to read a book. The only thing silly here is your comprehension skills.

Layman terms (for you, daddy)..............................

Photosynthesis

* produces food
* stores energy
* uses water
* uses carbon dioxide
* releases oxygen
* occurs in sunlight

Respiration

* uses food
* releases energy
* produces water
* produces carbon dioxide
* uses oxygen
* occurs in the dark as well as light

I had to come back in 2019 to laugh at you. “Breaking down the CBD’s into THC” wtf did i just read??? stop talking.

If you flood the roots it's gonna water down the flavor!

Actually waters pretty heavy, i dont see any scientific way it could be absorbed by the root.
