Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I was in a parking lot the other day and this chick was smoking a cigar. And I said wow you don't see that very often a chick with a cigar. And she says it isn't tobacco it is hydro and I said hydro? She said it is super strong because it is grown under water. So I figure with people like havoc or some other experienced smokers around here I can get the scoop on why this stuff is so strong?
Weed smokers Why Is Hydro so Potent?

Hydro-olics yo! make your car bounce!
She was smoking a Philly and told you that Hydro was grown underwater?
LOL @ UnderWater!!!

It's a combination of genetics and what can be dissolved into the water it's growing on, so you can micromanage its growth. You want the plant to yield the highest amount of THC possible (you can see the THC, the more white crystals you see at the top, the better)...Although that's heresay, I've never personally grown weed. But it seems to be a common train of thought...at least with the people I talk to that hydro is more potent and more dangerous where sess (associated with ground growth) is weaker. I think another term for hydro is chronic?
Correct me if I'm wrong

What you saw there was a blunt...probably 1-5 grams packed into a cigar sheath.

the other factor to potency is controlling the cycles of light and darkness diruing th life cycle of the plant to maximize THC production.
but with other things held constant (nutrients and light schedule to maximize THC are going to be the same for any MJ) genetics are what make a weed "crippy, krypto, hydro, etc."

Well most of the black guys I know go around talkng about how they'e "Dro" is the "fire shizzy" when in truth it is just good looking mid-grade. Then I pull out some of the REAL weed that I get from a hippy friend of mine and it blows them away. Why? Superior genetics my friend. Hydroponic grow system are the most efficient way to nourish the root system of the cannabis plant, but the best herb I've ever had has been grown in a soil medium or outside(Potent Sativas ROCK). This is just my opinion...don't mean to offend you brothas out there as I'm sure some of you get real high grade stuff too...its just that most of the DRO aroung here sells for midgrade prices($40 1/4oz) while the cheapest KB sells for $50 an 1/8oz.

also if and how the buds are cured, etc.
ALSO
its hillarious that on a steriod message board, no one here realizes that you can also pump up a plant full of chemicals to increase potency. Yes this is a common practice on the commercial market (though its not strictly a 'natural high' anymore).

You smoke the buds, not the leaves. Unless you are a total and utter fool, which you are not.

I used to own a proton it was a hydro unit (i no longer have)
The neat thing is by controlling the amount of light to darkness ratio you could force the plants to bud several times a year,and by controlling the temerature you could change the plants that were male to female.

basically a lot of commercial growers add a lot of chemicals to the plant's fertilizer which cause a net reaction of the plant producing more thc in the buds. I was a watching some clips a while back about from a 'weed college' in amersterdam, and they were offering this as a word of caution when you're lookin for the "best" herb in Holland.

Wow, some of you are really lost.
Like Wodin and others said, hydro does not mean potency, genetics and the grower's experience are 2 big factors. Hydro is good for a couple things, yield (sea of green, although this can be done in soil)consuming space and sometimes less margin for error if you have a bit of experience. The top 3 strains of herb I have ever indulged in were grown in the ground, outside, in the sun, where it is supposed to be, no lights can replicate the sun, properly grown outdoor is superior to anything.

You can grow hydroponically using the sun.
Hydro (aka WATER) ponics.
"Hydroponics is a technology for growing plants in nutrient solutions (water and fertilizers) with or without the use of artificial medium (e.g., sand, gravel, vermiculite, rockwool, peat, coir, sawdust) to provide mechanical support. Liquid hydroponic systems have no other supporting medium for the plant roots: aggregate systems have a solid medium of support. Hydroponic systems are further categorized as open, where after the nutrient solution has been delivered to the plant roots, it is not reused; or closed where surplus solution is recovered, replenished, and recycled. The definition of hydroponics has been confined to liquid systems only, which blurs statistical data and leads to underestimation of the extent of the technology and its economic implications. All hydroponic systems in temperate regions of the world are enclosed in greenhouse-type structures to provide temperature control, reduce evaporative water loss, and to reduce disease and pest infestations.
The principal advantages of hydroponic controlled environment agriculture (CEA) include high-density maximum crop yield, crop production where no suitable soil exists, a virtual indifference to ambient temperature and seasonality, more efficient use of water and fertilizers, minimal use of land area, and suitability for mechanization, disease and pest control. The major advantage of hydroponic (CEA) compared to field grown produce is the isolation of the crop from the soil, which often has problems of diseases, pests, salinity, poor structure and/or drainage."

The best Ive ever smoked was Orange Crush from Amsterdam. Dunno if it was hydro or not.
