Messing around with roots is the biggest waste of time that misinformed growers participate in. Just break up your root ball, toss it in the compost, and next spring you can use all that yummy nutritious humus on your tomatoes.

UnitedParcelSecrets Reviewed by UnitedParcelSecrets on . Boiling Roots At Time of Harvest??? I don't remember where I heard/read this but what do you guys think about this... When it comes time for harvesting your hard earned reward, I heard that by removing the entire plant, roots and all and placing them in boiling water for 20 seconds shocks all of the remaining THC remaining in the roots and stem out of the trichomes thus increasing potency. Any opinions? Rating: 5
