You know, alot of people on this thread have some really annoying tendencies, you contradict everyones opinion, claiming that roots produce thc, when they are clearly used to transport, food, water, and contain little to no thc, and all you people who are saying the roots do produce thc still have not given an expert explanation as to how the roots produce thc, or even why!!! Untill we receive some solid knowledge, quit contradicting everyones comment without an explanation!!! Fuck all the haters, have a nice day...

I Have read before the whole purpose of boiling the roots has nothing to do with thc, The whole purpose of imidiately boiling the roots after you take them out of the ground and please excuse my choice of words for iam still a newb and i was a even greater newb when i came across that article so dont criticize me im just putting in my 2 cents. The process of boiling the roots stresses the pores in the bud to close up only enabling water to exit through the leaves and stems therefor reducing chance of mold longating and producing a nice slow smoth dry ready for cure. IF this was to be so, now that i know more of what i knew then all i have to say is that the appeal of the bud is diminished due to how curing bud highly increases your buds apeal since after curing more resin glands tend to extract themselfs from the bud. But if bud appeal isint your greatest concern there you go

Its about fucking time someone answered that damn question, Thank you man, +rep to you newbie. Do you know exactly how long to boil the roots for??? Nothing like a newb giving a better explanation than a trash talking, wine ass expert...

wow we actually got a reason why this might be worth doing... hey horizontal genetics where did you read that?

Well, I left a 5 gallon DWC out on back porch on a very hot day last summer. The sun was attracted by the black bucket and soon the water became really fucking hot and killed my plant.

Does that Qualify as boiling the roots????

First, I can't believe this is still going, really?

Second, how was that a good explanation of anything. It was a vague recollection of an article written by who know's sometime in the past. This is sort of like believing in God, because someone claimed it, it must be true. Just because no one has explained it to you HOW or WHY it works isn't a reason for you not go spouting it off and acting as though it were factual. It's hearsay at best and completely unfounded thus far.

Defenders of the boiling (really?), please do an experiment, I would, but frankly it seems a waste of time completely.
