boiling roots

Curious from any old school growers who have done this and got any results. i have spoken to some growers who say to abuse the hell out of your plants to get better smoke, snap, kick them, spit on them, tell them they are useless, and what survives is the better strain. where talking about people who grow acres of the shit for many years and they swear by it. MYQUESTION hAS ANYBODY FOUND A DIFFERENCE IN POTENCY FROM DUNKING ROOTS OF HARVEST IN BOLING WATER- thus stressing the plant and causing an immune response of thc production (although it is sunscreen i know)

Any other old wives tales that can be put to the test out there?



None of this is my opinion im just curious as to peoples thoughts?

Its an old myth.
