Hot water at a precise temp can kill root aphids but I know it needs to be slightly below boiling. Cannot recall the precise temp but off hand I would say 131 degrees. That is all I have ever heard hot water used for.

I water the day before harvest and then start right at lights on, next day to harvest.
Extended dark periods do nothing - myth.
I too started in the 70's. I was taught some interesting and some crazy things back then. I don't today even understand where some of the idea's came from....I tried the boiling water thing by RM3 . I'm pretty 6-1 half dozen to the other on it....It works ok but, I like to fresh trim.....So it kinda rubbed me the wrong way.....
That was my choice and I'm a bit biased to how I like to trim.....so, 50/50 on that...

That hat looks like it has some history my man!
And if that plant is marijuana it might be ducks foot? I have never seen one in person.
People use extended dark periods so the plant can use the starch stored in their leaves. No light, no photosynthesis, no food. I assume people do this for the same reason some people flush. It does use up starch reserves, whether it makes a difference in the end product will be determined by the consumer and what works for them.

This has no benefit. I believe it is just another myth. Most of these things are.
And flushing only helps if you have added too much nutes and your plants leaves are burning.
But the debates and ideas will continue.....

Vostok, are you playing us? That plant looks like hops or 2nd generation hops/cannabis graft. It's supposedly an old school way to disguise cannabis yet still get THC
