"Hydro" is weed grown in water. Not necessarily AMAZING weed.

[TPot]

Most people on this site know this already, but every time I see someone go "Hey man I got some hydro" or even "Yo dog I picked up some baby 'dro" it just seems wrong. I usually don't buy from dealers who call their weed hydro. Weed grown in soil is fucking fine with me.:thumbsup:

[smokealot123]

actually im pretty sure even a noob would know hydro dont stand for good weed.. :| this thread is worthless.. :)

cant believe u would prefere weed grown in soil.. try the 2 there completely differnt.. hydro grown properly = good pot yes

[stinkyattic]

I prefer weed grown in soil simply because all the hydro growers I know are in it for the money and don't bother to flush their shit before harvest. I can't STAND it. Tastes like mmmm... fertilizer!
When you are exposed to mostly-organic compost grown herb that has been loaded with bard supplements its whole life, your opinion of the Lowly Dirt will change drastically.

[dean0000]

You are correct my friend. Soil grown weed tastes much better IMO. I also hate it when bud hasnt been flushed, its just nasty.

[psychocat]

Funny thing is that some people still do believe Hydro is a "special" strain LOL

my dealer calls his shit dro, its annoying cuz i never really know what im gettin but its good shit so i dont really care

[BizzleLuvin]

i made a thread about this a long time ago and everyone just shot me down. im glad that i'm not the only one who realizes this. you could grow shwag hydroponically and it would still be shwag.

[DemoCommando]

I would take Organically Grown Herb that was well taken care of WAY OVER Hydroponically grown. Hydroponics is good for tomatoes and mass produced herb, but not 10/10 grade herb.

People who really don't know that are just "ignant"

95% of weed refered to as "Dro" is normal marijuana grown in normal dirt

[Canadian_Cron]

yea man i completely agree... like most of the hydro i smoked is usually pretty good but it can never beat really good homegrown shit where the guy actually knows what hes doing!!!

Well, I guess you may have been "ignant" about the fact that there is such a thing as Organic Hydroponics. Not to be hostile, just sayin' :).

Organic anything is better than chemical-ridden stuff. Of course it's better, lol. Especially when it comes to the taste of the ganja, organic really blows anything away.

[Unknownfigure]

I guess you could call my weed "hydro", since I grow it myself in a hydroponic system. Now, also know I actually know what I am doing, and I grow for myself and my inner circle, so I do flush it correctly. Always easy on the ferts as well. So since I smoke my shit, I make sure it tastes good, and doesn't leave a headache that unflushed plants tend to give. ;) (I have also grown in dirt, but every plant I have, I used for hash, mainly because those girls just became sooo resinous, mainly because it was outside, I believe. I like mine either way.)


So yeah, if you have a decent connect that grows it properly, you really can't tell the difference. Hell, you may even prefer the hydroponically grown over the soil. I don't really care, having a dro system means you don't have to dump soil all the damn time, and I hate doing that.

[DemoCommando]

Mfqr, no I was not aware. I thought that hydro was distinct to the commercial growers. From what I am aware of, Hydroponics grow small buds but many of them?

I prefer big buds and lots of them too. Anyway, I guess when you what your doing, it can be good either grown in soil or in nutrient water.

I hate that, I thought dro was soposed to be super easy to flush and it seams like they never do.

[FireTheft]

i prefer soil too..........

i just don't see why all the fuss over hydro....a little more bud a little faster just doesn't seem worth it to me to have to deal with all the extra equipment

And cost too.

If someone is growing hydroponically id consider them a grower that knows some shit. So if this grower already seems so educated on the subject why wouldent he be growing high quality genetics? Seedy weed never comes from a hydro setup.

That is complete bollocks.
I grow with soil because it's cheaper and you really don't need to go hydro, ever heard of the KISS principle?
Keep
It
Simple
Stupid

Just because someone is growing hydro does not mean they won't ever get seeded weed, that has nothing to do with the grow medium and everything to do with only having female plants in your grow and avoiding contact with pollen producing MALES.
If by SEEDY you mean crap weed then you really need to do your homework because hydro is certainly no guarantee of good weed, in fact it is easy to make one simple mistake and lose your whole harvest when growing hydro.
I get so tired of the hydro crowd pretending to be the elite when everyone knows that nature knows best.

[steme]

Actully Id say hydro is cheaper after you see the results. Oh yea and calm down. Do you kids even smoke? Or grow for that matter. I miss OG.

[Weedhound]

The system will grow whatever you put in it. It's not magic for chrissake....it's growing in a soilless medium. You put in crappy weed....it'll grow crappy weed. You put in good weed...it'll grow good weed. How hard is that?

And no, I don't feel "elite" for growing in hydro but I DO feel pretty good about not having to buy weed in today's world and since my hubby and I go through about an ounce a week and haven't bought any in over a year.....call that whatever you want.

[Metaphor]

dro is wack, it dosent even get me high. i need that dankity dank crystally shit. dro only works when you mix it with some of tht good shit

Hydro is not cheaper and certainly not easier. the results aren't that fantastic with hydro.
I HAVE GROWN both ways.
I have probably been toking longer than some of the people here have even been alive (27 years).

PS please refrain from refering to everyone as KIDS , I think I may be a little too old for that description.

You really have no idea do you ?
DRO is not a strain or even a hybrid of other strains,, it is a way of growing using water instead of soil , the water has nutrients added to emulate the nutrients in SOIL !
JEEZZZ

If by kids you mean 41 years old then I suppose I qualify.

You might be surprised how many people grow here.

I prefer soil. It is easier and less prone to mistakes. Better tasting too.

Overgrow is gone and it is not coming back. Get over it.

I laughed at the KIDS remark , I'm a tad older than you my good man,, I was born Feb 62 which makes me a teenager in a 45 year olds body LOL

[Skrappie]

All i see is nastiness in this thread. Why is everyone in such a piss fight.

Just because you have a hydro system does not mean you know everything there is to know about weed. Being a good grower, is being a good grower, method is just a means to the end we all want.

Soil is great, but there are tons of crappy soils out there,

You can call your bud hydro all you want. I don't care if it came from soil and you call it ocean bud, if it smokes good, tastes good, and gets you stoned, call it shit for all i care.

People get too picky over what other people say and do.:hippy:

[psychocat]

HYDRO is not a strain man .
This is not a thread about wether soil is better than hydro but about the mistaken idea that hydro is some kind of mega ganja.
Call me a pedant but the whole point of this place is to educate fellow stoners and some people still believe dro is something it isn't.

Jeez

[ScaryMissMary]

As true as this is, it made me laugh my ass off. :D

p.s. I concur wholeheartedly.

[shaggzx]

That calling herb hydro shit is annoying as hell. The problem is a lot of people think it is a strain of good herb and when I start talking about headies and beasters, they get all confused and shit, so I'm reduced to referring to it as hydro so they understand that I mean good weed.
