So,I usually feed mine Coca Cola straight one of last feelings! The high acidity causes a nutrient lock out which causes the plant to draw more water trying find its deficient nutrient thus sucking up all the sugar from the coke giving you a last sugar ingestion for the plant which acts like a bud sweetener like you've never seen! I think the caffeine too the plant absorbs counteracts couch lock
I have heard of burying hot coals near the root ball before harvesting outdoors. Maybe killing the roots triggers the plant to send terps to the flowers to feed the seed sites bettering chances of survival.I am curious about this as a partner of mine says when plant is pulled to dry, he boils roots for ten minutes than hangs upside down to dry. He claims this works wonders,the stuff I have smoked of his is always killer.
Has anyone ever heard of this or done it.
If your doing lots o plants this would be alot of work.
OLD POST BUT CAME TO SPREAD KNOWLEDGE!!!
It may sound like torture, but proper method is about 5 days 3-5 prior to harvest water your plants with BOILING water. This doesn't increase thc nor necessarily speed cur BUT IT DOES make for much smoother smoke.
The miss conception is that cutting down ur girls kills them instantly, however this is FALSE. Adding boiling water will kill the ROOTS but only the roots. After adding water, continue 12/12 for 3-5 day, I prefer 5 but don't water anymore. By killing the roots but allow the plant to live it FORCES the plant to use the nutrients in its leaves for survival.
On day 3 of 5 start to trim fan leaves, about 50% on day 3, then 50% of remaining leaves on day for, and finally harvest on 5th day.
There are GREAT threads on this on other sites, but you can find those in your own. The best growers I know use this technique but are far too busy to waste time here.
I challenge anyone to dare test this concept and prove me wrong. If I'm wrong, i will provide free beans to anyone with evidence of there trial.

Make sure the coffees boiling and kill 2 birds with one stone...So,
to get that "speedy" herb all you have to do is give the plants:
coffee--
cool...
Go back to "rollitup" and kiss Rm3's ass some more. Boiling roots , r.o water,flushing give me a goddamn break. I thought we were pulling away from urban legend? Here you go keeping it up. No studies, no scientific proof in the end so s.t.f.uBeen growing myself for many years, however haven't even been alive for 40. The thing is that those who refer to this as a "myth" don't have any backing to prove at as so other then their opinions. I would greatly love to see evidence rather then just opinion proving this to be a myth. Seems that within different circles and different groups there are different theories about this, yet no one can provide me proof that this is a myth and from my first hand experience with many different techniques I have found this to be one I go back to time and time again.
So to make comments as far as being clueless, especially from someone who I'm guessing has never experienced this so called myth first hand, is pretty arrogant in my opinion. Furthermore I doubt that anyone on this site is a "world class" grower or "cannabis cup" winner etc. I know I by no means am, just like to continue to learn and provide top grade medicine to myself and others. However, I know many breeders that do use the boiling method as well.
Next to comment that boiling water would induce immediate death for the plant truly shows the uneducated mind of a a grower who made the statement above. Do some biological research and you will find that this does NOT instantly kill a plant, but rather only the root system. A plant however can survive a period of time with out a root system, thus the reason cloning is so prevalent in this industry. Educate yourself before making stupid comments such as "instant death" to a plant.
I see why many experienced growers find these forums to be a laughing stock, and am truly starting to regret even joining because of the overall ignorance and lack of educated comments. Anyone with a chemistry, biology, or botany degree who could provide me with PROOF this doesn't work I would be gladly willing to listen too, or even those that could provide a scholarly source proving this as a myth, however speaking out of your ass with no experience in this matter just makes you look like a fool.
You should go back to rollitup also and kiss RM3's ass some more. Boilem is leaving alsoOLD POST BUT CAME TO SPREAD KNOWLEDGE!!!

I have tried it both ways an prefer to dry the roots separately using then to help with pain in my shoulder and back i either make a tea or turn it to a paste. And apply it the history of the cannabis root is a great book to read about the medicinal properties which for me wirk great as far as imprivung my pot ehhIn more than 15 years of growing I have never heard of anybody doing this. Not sure what that could possibly do for the final product. Why does he say he does this????? Im very curious??????????????
read the history of the cannabis root youll find out just how wrong you are IMO.If there was THC in the roots, people would be smoking them too....another ridiculous myth IMO.
Friend of mine actual farmer with long history of growing mentioned boilin* the roots or damaging them prior to harvest (sorry no hanging upside down) mentioned that it schockd the plan5 and as a result goes into major reproduction mode an$ that increases 5he THC production. havent tried it but will very reliable sourceI am curious about this as a partner of mine says when plant is pulled to dry, he boils roots for ten minutes than hangs upside down to dry. He claims this works wonders,the stuff I have smoked of his is always killer.
Has anyone ever heard of this or done it.

Nuglover is correct no Thc in the roots, though the Cannabis plant does respond to stress and attack by making THC and other cannabanoids. The plant might be reacting and channeling all its last energies to repel such attack.
I was thinking too about experimenting by juicing root matter and refining it to see if any hormones, sugars or beneficial growth compounds can be used on the next crop.
IT USTA BE I JUST COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW STUPID PEOPLE COULB BE, THEN trump GOT ELECTEC AND I SAW THIS THREAD... REWALLY PEOPLE YU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE YOR STUPIDER THAN DOGS AND MONKEES SHOULD BE PRESIDENT SHAME SHAME SHAME AND THEN MORE SHAME FOLLWEED BY EATING MONKEY SHIRT
