So nug is actually not always the bud with the most THC in it. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. I'm trying really hard to understand this..

Also, people seem to correlate hydroponically grown cannabis with THC potency, which is also not necessarily true. It can be assumed that more care was given hydro, but the growing medium being water or dirt alone isn't enough to change anything. All the extra care would mean is that the cannabis was nurtured into the high end of its potency range (15-20%), which is equally as obtainable in soil. You can't insult commercial by saying it was grown in the ground.

In my opinion, the high probably doesn't vary as much as people think. It's mostly just the placebo effect and prejudice. It's kind of strange to me that the only thing people know about the different grades of weed are what they look, smell, and taste like, the high they're supposed to give, and how much they cost.
dude, really?? you think someone would pay up to to 75% more for some bud that gave them the same high they coulda got with some schwag? please bro, give me a break... read my mans post above me a couple spots. he hits it dead on. I never said anything about bud being grown in soil as not yielding as much THC as bud grown in a hydro set. It boils down to this.. Brick weed is for pure profit, yes it will get you high, but to the everday or often smoker, it's a waste of money. compare that to some high grade kill, was most likely grown by someone who is also a smoker and enjoys the high quality of the product as well as a little profit. It's just like anything you grow, the better care you take while growing it the better product.. If you ust go throw some seeds in the ground and expect to yield high potency THC without an care at all you are sadly mistaken. therefore the brick weed is pretty much all profit because nature did all the work.
