LoL That has to be the nuttiest thing I have ever heard.

The Roots and stems contain virtually no THC.

The reason people hang plants is because it makes it easier to manage while drying so please don't spout off crazy answers without doing a little research first.

There are so many inaccurate things like this out there that confuse new growers so please verify what your posting is correct before posting it please. This process can be daunting enough for a newbie without adding disinformation.

I been awnser this a long time ago. the reason for boiling the roots is to shock the porous glands on the leaves and it shocks them close so when your drying your bud you do not have water coming out through your small bud leaves but as from the fan leaves since the shock does not reach that far

Why is that so hard to believe? Between being busy or High I don't always read all the pages of a thread before responding, particularly when it is over 30+ pages.

Although in this case I wish I would of had time to read the whole thing first cause I could of cracked even more jokes. LoL

He's right. Boiling your roots does not move any THC through the plant. And if you leave the fan leaves on the plant, water vapor will escape from the fan leaves because the boiling water closes the stomata in the flowers where the water escapes. The downside is it lengthens the drying time.

They used to boil roots in the 70's/80's, but I am avoiding boiling roots. Next harvest, I'm leaving my fan leaves on the plant. It's suggested that fan leaves will help protect the trichomes on the flowers during handling.
