One of my friends told me that probably 90% of the stuff I've been buying from the dispensary is hydro. But I kinda think that might be BS. All the buds I've purchased from the dispensary were lighter density and none of them had that crackle and pop sound when smoked. I just assumed they were soil grown - but I don't have a whole lot of experience at identifying what type or kind of weed it is.
you can have dense soil bud too.thats more to do with light, yes nutes can be added to dense up the bud but light has alot to do with that as well.strain has alot to do with it too.thai stick for instances that is a lanky and not dense.thats the strain.
palerider7777 Reviewed by palerider7777 on . Hydro vs Soil? I was recently fortunate enough to be given a sample of some hydro grown. The buds were VERY dense and heavy. Not wet. Just dense and heavy. But when smoked, it was popping and crackling. I am guessing this is because of all the solids left from the non-organic fertilizers - but I'm really just guessing. I know this is probably a big can of worms - since soil growers are going to put down hydro and the hydro is going to put down the soil growers. I sincerely hope we might have an Rating: 5
