Root tea/"coffee"

Ayye, Cheers! I'm glad you enjoyed that. Never would have thought to brew the roots in a tea and I love the idea of utilizing all parts of the plant so thanks for the inspiration

That's a really good question, but actually the roots weren't from the clone. But thinking back through the plant's life maybe it makes sense that there wasn't a huge tap root. They spent a solid 1-1.5 months in a tiny 2" x 2" x 2" pot got a little root bound, then spent a few months in a 5 gallon pot and got EXTREMELY root bound. If the plant started out in a 5 gallon pot or bigger perhaps there would have been a larger tap root.

What was interesting from digging up the roots was that the only roots that grew out of the dense rootball (that I pruned during transplanting) grew from the topmost 3-4 inches. Any roots below that level were still the same exact shape of the 5 gallon pot they were in before their final transplant.

I'm excited too!! Man, let me know how it turns out!

Is it the roots of the Oaxacan???!?! If so I'm really dying to know how it turns out. I was blessed enough to have received some magnificent cuts of some purple satellite recently, along with some beautiful Malawi. I am gonna be in Sativa heaven come summertime. The purple satellite is a cross of a 1979 Oaxacan gold and a pure Nepalese. When I started cutting to prep the clones, I noticed purple "blood" on the cutting board. Instantly thought of you, from your post in the equatorial sativa showdown.

for anyone who works with medical pain patients you can make a pain salve with the roots , I give it away for those who have arthritis or inflammation.
coconut oil base and try to dry and powder the roots before extraction into coconut oil

there is no psychoactive effect this is purely for pain patients

You're awesome man. Been a while since I've made some good balm for pain rub. I usually use CBD for making it, but now you inspired me to do a batch with CBD and the roots for a more complete plant spectrum. Gonna be good.

Extra props for helping people in pain.

I was actually gonna add in my last reply, the root ball I harvested was from a plant I started from seed in a 5gal, then transplanted to a 25 gal tote before it got rootbound.
