Remember the legend that if you hung a plant upside down with the roots on all the thc resin will flow down into the plant? IMHO it was based on a sound practice but the reason became total bullshit.
I think the reason that was done is too give a plant more finishing time and also to flush the plant. The hang can be the flush. Plants are not like most animals. They don't instantly die when they are cut in half. They live and continue life processes until they run out of energy to continue. Even a plant cut off at the main stem will keep doing what it can for awhile. It might wilt but it will still use up nutrients in the leaves and stems until it just can't continue. If the roots are left on this can take a week or so if hung in a place where they get a bit of light and are protected from rain. They will use up the leaf nutrients and the trich will continue to mature.
Most growers can't hang and dry outside with the roots on because of security. Hanging outside is risky period. Plus many places even with great grow environments still get colder and wet in October and November so keeping them outside is counter productive when faced with mold. If you can it is a good way to flush outdoor plants.
You can also cut them off at the stem and stick them in a 5 gallon bucket of water and they will stay alive. It will surprise you. They will flush easily because all they get is water.
If you hang them inside cut at the stem and can draw the hang time out a solid 10 days they flush some.
I think a proper hang is a flush. I also think anything longer than a 7 day flush indoors with water sacrifices yield and potency for taste and I am never doing that.
I also never want a separate outdoor division. Outdoor weed properly grown should be the finest examples in the contest. I would also like to see only 3 categories in judging criteria. Bouquet, Potency and Taste. The reason being is that a pure sativa is going to look wispy and thin. But a nice Thai, Columbian or Original Haze can make you see god.

, been looking for a good flowering booster for a while and had the guano recommended,
, think i read Soma uses it as well, but not in pots, in plant beds,
so they get as little nutes as possible which is canna A+B and some coco booster from bcuzz for grow, cannazyme and rhizotonic is another waste of cash, shit costs alsorts as well, get much better results using coco booster than what I did using the cannazyme and rhizotonic, and in flower they get canna A+B and topmax, some pk13-14 near the end and they get a 2 week flush which I find is sufficent as the e.c all the way through is flower is 1.2, 1.2 is safe, some plants can take more, others cant, stick to that untill you get to know the plant your growing.
