Riddle i know you say use boiling water, but if the water is previously boiled and cooled would it still have the same effect, or is it the combo of heat that kills the roots along with the lack of oxygen they will receive from drowning? i have been drowning for a couple years, like the results, not to keen on the duration of time though... and the smell is putrid (i use molasses & honey)

I am ready to harvest in about 10 days. I want to try the boiling technique. @RM3, you say to leave it in the tent, lights on, for 3-5 days, depending. "Depending" on what?
Also, I will have other plants in the tent at this time. Will this negatively affect them? Should I let the boiled plants sit outside of tent a couple hours to cool down?
I should set the pots in boiling water, flush with boiling water, or just water normally with boiled water?

Thanks alot, peace

the depending on is strain related different strains take different times to fade, some strains take 3 days, seems most take 4 or 5 and few take 7 after you do it several times you'll get a better idea of what they look like when done and you'll just know

water normally with boiled water same way you feed

i did it a few times and liked the results. I stopped doing it though thinking that boiling water will lower the life of my air-pots. Boiling water degrades many plastics.

This is one broscience thread that should have stayed buried.

Using boiling water or ice water before harvest is pointless and just examples of the non-science floating around cannabis growers. Look around hard enough and you'll likely find something referencing it but it won't be a peer reviewed study or anything done using the scientific method.

It's in the same category as the Tooth Fairy or Santa Clause.

Ok,well first does everyone believe UVB - 2 hours mid light schedule @ 2' away,proven to increase resin production thus slightly higher thc,correct?(Apply s to led growers)
So there is no science on ice water?Or 24-48 dark?not even for resin ?So is he saying this helps by reducing the N and
chlorophyll,so it cures faster?
