Maybe if you cut a chickens head off in front of your plants, it would make it cry THC tears.... LOL
I've researched putting the roots in boiling water....yes, its BS

Hell yeah man, I use to do that shit too!! Thought I was the only one... nice to know I'm not the only one though. :D

Also, I use to wind my plants around an aluminum coat hanger.. then hook up my marine battery charger (used to charge my jet skis) and put it on 'QUICK CHARGE' setting.. leave it on there over night.. then the next morning.. I swear to God by the next morning the plants would gain at least 2 feet in height!!! Now that method really brings the plants to 'Life'. ;)
Now we are getting some where. I like to twirl around on the floor like Curly from the Stooges, naked with an aluminum coat hanger wraped around my junk.. then hook up my marine battery charger (used to charge my jet skis) and put it on 'QUICK CHARGE' setting.. leave it on there over night, I have no clue what it does for my plants, Bu i really get off.
 
OMG...anytime I read a post that begins with "I heard from someone, somewhere..." I cringe. You are on the INTERNET. Do you have any idea how much info is out there? Why don't you do some research into it so you have the info first hand instead of listening to some idiot spewing old wives tales that hold no value or truth? There are people who dedicate their whole LIVES to botany and horticulture, who write books for our benefit. Why not use all this knowledge and experience to your advantage?
 
no not hot or boiling water, you can try to give it real minimal stress in the last few day by watering it with frigid water and leaving it in the dark, it will respond by increasing in size and resin content by a small percentage.
It depends on the feed being used to flush organics u use hot to boiling water to kill off the roots and shut the stomata that tells the plant to use the nutes inside the plant and the microbes die so they can't feed the roots and it cleans the soil out for the next grow basically making ur soil sterile .. now if ur running synthetic no u wanna do cold water to flush all the salts out the soil in order to get ur fade

And another bro science thread gets ripped out of the grave 14 years later to live again. I like wrapping the branches around a coat hanger as they grow, then electrifying it, that has real possibilities. Not so much wrapping it around, well never mind, a classic old thread worthy of a few laughs.

The hanger would just be hot from resistance, acting as a very poor light bulb.
If you wanted to test inductance on plants grow them under some large transmission power lines. The kind that people get cancer from.

Not an electrical engineer, but I am a commercial electrician.

I was completely joking. They were talking about wrapping it around your private parts and…. Nevermind. I didn’t mean anyone should actually try electrocuting their plants.

God I hoped this myth died long ago so boiling water or water that is too hot will kill the roots the bacteria and lots of other mycros the inverse is true with water too cold and you shock the plant kill of some stuff and slow down the rest as well as cause nute lock out if the soil temps dip below 15c that's last bit is kind of the point to flushing as you aint washing nutes out much just speeding up the fade by nute lockout pretty much
