Pouring boiling water just before i pull will force stored thc into the buds?

Flushing with mollassas in the water is a good idea?

I should pull after the dark period?

An extended dark period eg 48h will produce more thc?

Starving a plant of water in the last few days will help it to ripen to full potency?

Cheers guys am just about to pull up for 1st time and just wondering the truth behind some of the things i have read on here adn if they really do work

harvest after 36 hours of dark
not produce more but get the rest in the plant to the bud sites.

That is a myth

Molasses is good if you grow organically but not beneficial when flushing.

Yes, that one is true

Yes, that one is true other than the period of time you mentioned:

"The Stichting Institute of Medical marijuana (SIMM), the first company to sell marijuana through the pharmacies of Holland, has been investigating the medical possibilities of cannabis, together with TNO laboratories and the University of Leiden.

One of their discoveries has been that to keep the ripe plants in the dark before harvesting could increase their potency. SIMM’s growers separated a crop of mature plants, harvested half of them and kept the other half in absolute darkness for 72 hours before cutting and drying. Analysis of the resulting dried buds showed that some varieties had seen an increase of THC of up to 30%, while CBD and CBN remained the same."

Both true and False ... but the true part would only be to an ever so slight degree. It will cause any and all moisture the buds need to only be drawn from within the plant itself forcing it to use stored nutes, but by then that pretty much is all that happens anyway so any difference would be negligible at best .. so it alone would not cause any real improvement, mainly it will only somewhat speed up the drying process ... just as if a day or two before harvesting someone would strip all the leaves off their plants would do ... which is NOT something I am suggesting anyone should do. It is just an example of basically the same thing, lessening the amount of moisture plants will have to rid themselves of while drying.
