Tis not what it's for, so don't expect it, ALL it does is start the cure early

Because i seriously been hearing this theory for quite a while now since hippies been using this method at harvest until new generation and i personally have never tried myself so i can express my opinion on tye subject., I dont like to talk about things i dont know..

Oh ok.,. So thats all? Only starts the cure like still attached to the plant itself?

That is what it does, all plants do it, tis science, when there is no O2 in the root zone (think floods) all plants ferment sugars into alcohol to survive

Once dry the bud will smoke as if it was in the jars for 7 to 10 days

Damn awesome!! I will def try this and report..

Could you do the same by just keeping your table flooded for "x" amount of time? Boiling water isn't a choice for me but I find the idea intriguing.

Folks that did the flood thing had mold problems, tis why we boil

Try it.
But how long do you think it would take the roots to die in a flood? Boiling kills them now.

Knew that was coming...
