Hello nathan,that statement is completely false. Growing in organics or soil rather than hydroponics,have nothing to do with a higher thc content,although both mediums have there upsides. And yes the grower,temp,conditions..etc do make a difference. But thc is dependent upon genetics and curing only. Curing afterwards converts cbg,cannabergerol to more thc on the paticular bud,thus allowing it to reach its optimal potentcy,a smoother smoke,good taste and aroma....and give it that extra kick ..good day
