 hydroponic marijuana "hydro" 
#759113 - 11/26/14 07:23 AM (9 years, 4 months ago) |
|
|
In the late 90s hydro was huge. I knew a couple of guys that ran a hydroponic system and I also always saw the damn systems being sold at head shops. Pretty soon the word "hydro" became a household name for quality bud.
Fast forward 15 years and I'm still hearing the word "hydro" being used to describe more potent buds, but surely all these new buds/ strains cannot be grown hydroponically...
Is the word "hydro" only used now by uneducated  and people who sell to the uneducated or are buds still being used in, what seems to me, outdated growing techniques?
Anyone care to shed some light?
Honestly, people that use the word constantly bug the fuck out of me. Shit, for years I argued with people in trying to explain the difference. What the fuck do I know, though...

Who knows what they think anymore. Its all a fucking sales gimmick. All I know is that hydro, back then, was bud grown inside using a special water system.

All my shrooms are hydro, brah.
Grown by the GD family.
I'm way out of the loop. I haven't heard 'hydro' since like the 90's or even before.
I remember back when the buzz word for dealers was sinsemilla.
I think that got started from a Cheech and Chong bit.

In Philly you still got growers usein "hydro" systems and selling it as such. Other parts of the state the word never comes up. "Dro" was real big back in the late 90s and people spent stupid money on it.

I thought it was only used by highschool kids who didn't know any better?
Such as kush and things like that, honestly if I hear shit like that, I try not to buy from that person. Good weed needs no advertising.
(I'm in a black market state, so if I wasn't I would probably have a different attitude on those words.)

Actually from what I see more and more growers are jumping into hydroponics, in my circle of dedicated grower friends, theres 5 of us and 3 exclusively run hydro setups. Then theres me and my other buddy growing in soil but hes breaking into hydro for cloning so I bet he will ditch the soil soon. I myself will set up a hydro system when I have room for both hydro and soil but as long as I have space for only one I will grow soil because I have more fun doing so.
I think in the recreational cannabis scene the word "hydro" still refers to hydroponically grown buds. Around me youve always been able to get 5 kinds essentially; hydro, medical, indoor, and outdoor, and KUSH.
The hydro is obvious, thats hydroponically grown weed, always dope as fuck.
The medical could be either hydro or soil grown but was always dope as fucking fuck cuz it came from a dispensary or educated medical grower.
The indoor stuff amateur soil grown indoors.
The outdoor stuff was amateur grown outdoors.
The kush... Could be indoor, outdoor, good, bad, weird looking etc it didnt matter, you said you had kush it sold at top dollar and faster than you could bag it. Why? No fucking clue, hightimes hype probably. It was never anything special.
So while the words "hydro", "Kush", and "medical" became synonymous with excellent quality buds to the less educated buyers who im sure didnt really know the difference. But in general terms I think the word "hydro" definitely still applies to hydroponically grown weed for the vast majority of people.

This is the big one, KUSH. People lose their fucking shit for kush. I literally know people who buy nothing but kush and that is absolutely a marketing gimmic. Kush plants are called such because they have genetics originating in the Hindu Kush region near pakistan or some shit. Sorta the same way champagne made outside of champagne france isnt "real" champagne; Kush grown outside of the Hindu Kush region is not "real" kush, it just gets its genetics from strains local to that region. Kush is not necessarily supperior in any way either just because its "kush".

If people think the words are gonna help sell their weed then they get stuck to it. Some areas it's the word "hydro" some areas its the word "chronic" then in some areas every bud is "kush". Those are areas where there in no medical or laws that allow smoking. Now in the areas that allow smoking it's the same damn thing just a little more deep now instead of everything has OG attached to it to say that there is OG Kush in it. Now a year and half ago it was "purple". Everything was "purple kush. purple og, purple berry". Then came the time of the "Cookies". Everything had some kind of "Girl Scout Cookies" in them, "platinum Cookies, phantom cookies" and so on.
Like everything else it's all a game.

In my experience only nigs use the word hydro and it's used to describe weed that isn't mids or shwag.
The other times i've heard it used are by people who actually know what they are talking about and it's weed grown through hydroponic systems.

Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

I have educated plenty of people about hydro/sensi words. Around here it is usually refered to as either chronic, in my home town, or just weed at home. It is usually hard to find bad weed where I live.

I can't have movie made about my story cause that would be saying that my story is over and ready to be told. I think you have to die for that to happen. 
Thanks for the comment.  
Now the real strains:
The thing is true killer strains stand the test of time. OG Kush, Granddaddy Purple, Erkle, all stand the test of time. Many many many strains hit the market and are the greatest thing to hit the planet but after a few months they disappear. "Blue Dot, Snow Cap, Blue Dream", are all strains that are still around but yo don't hear about them like you use to. These strains that can't stand up to time are the fad strains and there are a million of them.

It's a killer strain. Hard hitter that leans toward a sativa high.

The first hydroponic bud I ever encountered was "bc" hydro from Canada.
Every "strain" or visual variance at least, was similar to the others and was distinctly scentless and overly moist. Hard as hell though.
In the earliest days of "indoor" around here it was fluffier, crystal coated floro grown buds.
I think the earliest signs I noticed stash wise, was denser buds with "hydro" although not likely from a hydroponic system , but coincidentally from the use of more intense lighting.
Still, nothings ever knocked me out in 1 hit like some of the well grown outdoor "purple" around here.
So...even then, the term "dro" never impressed me. It was my clue to its mass production guise.

I absolutely love indoor / greenhouse growing so much that I pursued a college diploma to do so.

And yet still, some of my favourite homegrown nugs were outdoor. And most of the growers who I admire/consider experts will say exactly what you said right there oeric.
As fun as it is to grow indoor...
Outdoor is highly under rated.

When I joined the Shroomery in 2004, Magash was posting mouth watering pics of his grows back then.
He had already been around for a few years.
You lived in Hawaii back then, right Mag. ? I was so jealous.
He was the inspiration for me to start growing again in '05 after so many years of abstinence.
I got a couple good grows in, but my work schedule changed all that.
Now that I'm semi-retired and semi-disabled, I have time to start making medicine again.
And Magash is here still here providing inspiration...
He is indeed, the Man.

Shiiiit your memory is better then mine. I don't know where I was half the time. You are right though at that time I was on the big island.
Thank you for the comments I appreticate it. I'm no better grower then the next guy just after 30 years (actually 29) under the lights and even longer outdoors I better have learned something.
This pic of me is older then most of you

He doesnt have seed. Just a mother and no males. Blue dream is blueberry x haze though if Im not mistaken and I know someone with blueberry seeds so I was thinking if the blue dream impressed me enough I may cross it with a male blueberry and try to breed back to blue dream 
But I really dont have the space to do that right now.

Thank you for the comments I appreticate it. I'm no better grower then the next guy just after 30 years (actually 29) under the lights and even longer outdoors I better have learned something.
This pic of me is older then most of you
Nice. sweet plant too!
Yeah it was back in the day when you could go off
Rats were hitting me hard so I had traps around the plants

Wow man. That's one stellar patch! Biggest buds I've ever grown were outdoor. Made my head look small.
Rats eh?? that's wild. Haha as long as you don't catch a toe in your own trap...
I've had deer issues.
I remember picking up big half chewed buds off the ground. They were brown from sun and storms. Dead. So when I went to smoke this hard, brown, animal chewed, weather beaten weirdness... it was so harsh all I could do was cough my ass off after one rip. It was as I recall, the second strongest weed I've ever smoked in my life. I never did figure out why. Sun?

And yet still, some of my favourite homegrown nugs were outdoor. And most of the growers who I admire/consider experts will say exactly what you said right there oeric.
As fun as it is to grow indoor...
Outdoor is highly under rated.
I'm all about dat outdoor.

lol.....I had the deer issues also. Then I started using synthetic lions piss and spraying that around the area. I didn't even see birds after that. The damn rats would chew the branches off and drag them someplace and I'd come back to a stick in the ground with no branches. I started trapping the rats and made a friend out of a red fox that lived in the area and was into the easy eating that the traps provided him. That fox was my grow partner for the next few grow seasons.

I'm responding without reading this thread. I know that makes me an asshole but I am anyway.
IMO in the 90's hydro became a buzz word, because it was still a relatively new way of cultivation...and anyone growing in a hydroponic setup knew what they were doing. It wasn't the actual manner of growing that was any better, it was just that hydro is so much easier to fuck up. Therefore, people with successful harvests of hydroponic buds were more likely to know about what they were doing than some jerk off who shoveled some dirt out of his lawn and grew bag seed in a closet under a handful of fluorescent, ya know?
Nowdays hydro doesn't mean fuck all, since there are so many ways of growing that are considered "hydro" by people. Soiless is easy enough to do. IMO it's all a huge waste of time. Yeah you can flush hydro a bit better and faster, but you only REALLY need that control if you're fucking up anyway.
Good soil shouldn't need any nutrients other than maybe a root booster for the first 30 days at least. After that most people aren't gonna veg TOO much longer, but I give 'em a good flush when moving to flowering. 4 weeks into flower they get a solid flush, and then 2 weeks before harvest I give them a really thorough flush every 4 days. I'd put my best harvests up next to anyones fully hydro setup and I don't think they taste any worse and certainly get you just as faded.
Soil is better IMO, but I'm speaking from my own experience and for my personal requirements. I guess if I were in a really huge continuous op I wouldn't wanna be fucking with bags of dirt all the time, but in a less than 10 plant situation it's best.
Edit: Or whatever Magash said. I don't question his judgement anymore.

Well said, but I was talking more about how people use the word dro to describe potency even if it was grown in soil.
