Any strain can be great if it's grown well whether in soil or hydroponics. "Hydro" refers to a soil-less growing method that lets the roots get washed in nutrient mixtures and water. Growers can more exactly give plants what they need this way. Plants tend to grow more quickly with hydro but not necessarily more potent than soil. Hydro does infer that the grower knows what he's doing, therefore ensuring a more potent and tastier weed than some guy who throws a seed in some soil and lets it grow.

Anyhow genetics determine greatly the potency of weed, so it is true that certain strains deserve praise over others. There are hundreds of famous strains though... Kush, diesel, haze... all famously good marijuana and worth mentioning.

Actually the Diesel and OG Kush line comes from a SUPER famous strain most of you have probably never heard of: Chemdawg. It was started the early 90s and it's descendants have become famous in their own right. But the original Chemdawg line--germinated from bagseed found in some super potent weed at a midwest concert--is the best weed I've read about. The mother of ECSD (the first Sour Diesel) and OG Kush, more potent and easier to grow, remains the holy grail of many growers.
