Has anybody heard of cutting @ the root bottom, and hanging the whole plant upside down to get the thc to run down into the buds? a buddy of mine told me this and i told him that its not a liquid to flow but i told him i would ask you guys

I don't condone using the "legal buds".

Hanging them upside down does not allow THC to run to the buds. It's sorta a old wive's tale. It's actually the process of drying and curing that allows your bud to be at it's peak potency. People got the idea that that THC was running to the buds but actually it's just the chemical reactions that occur during drying and curing that make it more potent that smoking it fresh. There is liquid being transported during drying but it's not THC, it's just water and nutrients that are evaporating. Check out this post of mine, it has a bunch of quotes from books, guides, and articles about this.

that was meant to say does NOT. Did you read the rest of the post? I guess not since you only quoted one sentence that you can tell was obviously an error since the rest of my post contradicts that.

Yikes.

The reason plants are hung upside down is purely cosmetic. It allows the buds to dry relaxed, and thus, tighter. IMO.
Plus, there's nothing to harmlessly tie them to on the top of the plant.
The branches are not filled with magical goo that runs down to cover your trichs.

I will tell you straight up, my buds are dried laying on a flat screen, not hanging upside down. My buds are also top shelf shit that will get you ripped, and no other drying method, or curing method will improve that.

Potency is not based on curing.

and no matter what anyone says the roots do not contain thc I have heard of people actually boiling the roots which is completely pointless and there is my 2 cents

Roots are useless. They deliver nutrients, nothing more.

Ya know, I thought exactly this, until I noticed my entire harvest does seem to get much stronger as it slowly cures. I didn't believe it, but it's happened time and time again here.
