Has anyone ever used ice cold water on their roots to increase resin?
Or see or heard of anyone doing this? The last few days of flowering?
I just want to be sure that I am not missing something I never heard of. Did it work? Did it cause any problems?
I have had plants that got freezing weather for a few days and they showed inter-sex flowers a week later, it did not increase the resin. I have never tried using ice cold water on a flowering plant to increase resin.
Please explain what you did, how you did it, and the results, good or bad.
Makes me think of the old rumors that you could pull a plant out by its roots and boil the roots and make all the "resin" go up into the flowers, only problem is the roots don't have THC, but WTF.....
If anyone knows anything about freezing water on roots please post or find someone that has done it and have them post or you post the results.
I will keep tract of results.

Reported by others:
Pepe le skunk,
several reports on other sites that freezing water the last two weeks helped resin production, from Headstash gardens, Clone master, and FB from a fellow Colorado resident.
MIMedHead,
Medman has made multiple comments about ice and cold water flushes that they help resin production.
