kush, haze, sensimilla, strain names etc..wtf

[alex0112]

Can someone tell me exactly what kush and haze mean, I see them being thrown around all the time.

and also, I noticed a bunch of people here naming random strain names, couldn't a dealer just make up some random name? couldn't the same name mean a different strain in different areas. With so much cross-breeding and a ton of growing, it seems kinda retarded to have all these strain names. I still say the best way to distiguish is "schwag", "mids", "chronic"/"dank"/"dro" whatever you guys call it.

Kush and haze are two different types of strains,kush is more indica while a haze is mostly sativa.I guess some dealers might just make names up to fool the buyers and raise their prices.Although sometimes i like to know the specific strain im smoking going by schwagg,mids,and dank is easier:thumbsup:

Why is it retarded to have strain names? That would be like saying it's retarded to have nationalities. A strain name can tell a lot about your plant, especially it's sativa/indica ratio. If you're buying weed then yes, it doesn't make that much of the difference. However, if you're a grower, then that strain name can tell you about how long you should flower, how hard it will be to grow it, and, like I said before, the sativa/indica ratio.

[too as in also]

yeah,what graph said:rasta:

You're right, it was an analogy. Just let it go....

Seriously though, the best I could come up with. Just not the brightest.

I know, me too. If you could hear the sound of my voice, I'd sound a lot less... like I got a stick up my ass. I just write the way I talk, and without the tone of voice sometimes it comes out bitchier.

I really do agree with the nationality thing, though.

Kush is named after the region the plant comes from
Haze is describing the effect of the high

I'm not too sure about the kush part, that may be true. However, haze is a mostly sativa strain of cannabis. Sativas are heady highs, not couchlocks.

Yes the plant comes from the Hindu Kush mountains
