I call bullshit
So what the hell is a soil grower supposed to do. I have never heard that thc is stored in the roots...

to answer your question..no. just cut the plant at the stalk and hang. leaving the root ball on there will only slow down the drying process a lot and promote mold and fungus growth

The only reason that a female marijuana plant produces trichomes( the little crystals with THC in em) is to defend its buds/seeds from pests. Small bugs will land on the leaves of the plant and get caught in the sticky resin. They will get an extreme overdose of TCH and probably die or be overcome by inertia. Thats why you find little bugs on your leaves when you grow outdoors. So what would be the point of having sticky protective resin inside of the roots witch are already protected by soil?

Please learn a little more about what your talking about before you come on here and insult experienced people with harsh remarks and stupid theories.

I was kind of wondering how a "stuck" bug dies of inertia? That must be that special kind of not moving inertia. Or maybe they die from a lack of inertia. Inertia Defeciency.

I'm high..sorry

thanks, i never intended on leaving the roots on btw. my parents told me this on my first grow a few years back, that i should dip the roots in boiling water, then cut the buds off, trim them and hang em to dry. obviously it was just old hippy talk. thanks for all the feedback
