outdoor lst - come on in
greenatik, dude, you have a mass of green on your hands, my friend! I can't wait to see Pilav strung up and drying; and, I'm super anxious to read a smoke report of her - she is amazingly beautiful. Your outdoor ladies are getting FLIPPIN' HUGE! And, you have an incredible strain assortment. There is no doubt you have some green thumbs, bro!
As for boiling the roots, I ran across another excerpt from the above-quoted source about this technique. It appears it doesn't do anything except lengthen the dry time -
I don't know if that helps at all, but I thought I'd pass it along. Keep up the incredible work with these ladies, my friend! I hope this post finds you and yours well.Boiling attached Cannabis roots after harvesting whole plants, but before
drying, is an interesting technique. Originally it was thought by cultivators
that boiling the roots would force resins to the floral clusters. In actuality,
there are very few resins within the vascular system of the plant and most of
the resins have been secreted in the heads of glandular trichomes. Once resins
are secreted they are no longer water-soluble and are not part of the vascular
system. As a result, neither boiling nor any other process will move resins and
cannabinoids around the plant. However, boiling the roots does lengthen the
drying time of the whole plant. Boiling the roots shocks the stomata of the
leaves and forces them to close immediately; less water vapor is allowed to
escape and the floral clusters dry more slowly. If the leaves are left intact
when drying, the water evaporates through the leaves instead of through the
flowers.
