I can't say I know much, and you prolly know this already, but hydro doesn't necessarily mean a high-end strain, hydro just had more THC content.

It's not higher-end stuff, but know the difference between Regs and Mids. Regs are the mexican-brick stuff, very stemmy and dry and has a cheap-feeling high. Mids are normally average stuff grown locally, it's not hydro or chronic but it's not dry and stemmy like Reg is and it's got a better high.
