first off no no no. dont ever cut the damn buds off the plant . hang it up root and all and dont tuch a damn thing till the buds are dry . thc comes from the damn roots does anyone understand this???? if you cut branches off there is no reason to even hang the shit up. the reason of hanging a plant upside down for is to let all the thc fall out of the roots into the buds. make sense?????

lmao! thc doesnt come from the roots it comes from all the little crystals around the flower or bud! the reason you hang upside down is so the resin stay at the tip of the buds and doesnt fall back into the stem, leaves and roots! clip any big fan leaves and anything hangin out the flowers since this will cause your buds to taste like hay!! Another reason is to let good airflow through the plant so it dries evenly

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.

I am sorry to inform you all. But you all don't have a CLUE of what your talking about.

THC or "The Honey Coating" as its called by its scientific name. Is actually sprayed on the plant by aliens, who come down with the flying spaghetti monster at night. They vaporize and come into our grow rooms through induction fans. They then use their Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator to THC'ify the plants.

This has all been well documented people. Like really...*shakes head*
