I have seen a buddy of mine "shock" his plants right before he cuts them down. He swears this increases potency. What he does is simple , He just pours boiling water over the roots. I have only seen this done while using buckets though so I dont know how well it works in the ground or in a hydro setup. What happens is obviously you severely damage and shock the roots. The plant will usually begin to "twitch" or "shake". The effect is more noticeable on larger plants with longer limbs. My friend said that this forces the plant to send any extra THC or other Cannabanoids up into the buds. Has anyone ever tried this? Do you think there is any truth to this technique? Any thoughts will be appreciated thanks!
