they still haven't banned you huh?
forest fires or volcanoes could cause rivers to heat, signalling the need for seeds to be carried away from danger, causing more resin so they stick to animal fur
just playing devil's advocate here. i won't be boiling any rootballs anytime soon. I would like to see someone give it a whirl, like a muthbusters type deal.
i talked to an English dude not long ago, he claimed to be an expert on hash, because that's all they smoke over there i guess. i ended arguing with him for like half an hour that hash was just pressed resin glands or kief from the buds and leaves.
he claimed that kief was only part of the mix, that they have a recipe like meth and they add several other ingredients and cook it into something else chemically before it becomes true hash...there's a lotta dumb stoners out there that believe a lot of dumb stuff, i think a lot of that will clear up once legalization happens and people can get good information.

I've done this before.. before you guys laugh and call me a noob I wanted to test it out, like supermanlives said, you never know.
I did this with the Freezing water technique, however I fed them the water while still in their pots during their dark period before the chop. I didn't notice too much of a difference on the plant that I boiled, except that it was droopy as hell before I chopped it down.. didn't hurt but it didn't really help. Ice water really did something special though, got my buds to give one last burst of resin. I read somewhere that the freezing water simulates a cold snap, which forces resin and calyx production. my buds were just a little shinier, they popped in the bag appeal department. I still do this freezing flush, some plants show better results than others.

except.... there are actually some observations for this to be based on, the cannabinoids within the Trichomes is degraded daily from the light and uses the "dark period" AKA night time to replenish the Trichome glands with fresh cannabinoid acids, so theoretically giving them a longer night at the end one can coax the last bit of photosynthetic energy into producing as much cannabinoid resin as possible... though it probably would be best to incrementally increase the darkness over the last 2-3 weeks of bloom... instead of 2-5 days of full darkness at the very end, though people swear by it and Ive tried it.
peace,

No such thing as a stupid question. We are here to help and learn from ea other. Lets keep the discussion civil

Yeah it does help pack on a little purple, more so if there is already purple forming on your nuggets to begin with, obviously.
Infintismal, thanks for posting that info regarding the replenishing of THC during the dark period, I was unaware that was even happening. Have you (or anyone) tried increasing the dark period before the chop instead of a dark period? I only do the darkness thing for about 2 days, sometimes less sometimes more depending on season but normally by 2 days I can see a noticeable difference in my buds.
