Hydro is the best stuff out there. altho some chemo-weed has knocked me on my ass... What you said is half true. Some strains of bud remain the exact same no matter how you grow them. Hydroponics is growing in water. You probably already know this BUT I'll go thru it anyway. Instead of having soil and blah blah, hydroponics is the roots directly in a water solution and frequent aerating of the roots (cuz they need air) whether by misting them or dunking them or whatever, there's several ways to grow hydroponically.
With pot, what gets you high is "the crystals" a dust that covers the buds. I can collect "the crystals" in a coffee grinder over a period of time of grinding up buds and sit down, roll a regular run-of-the-mill cigarette, add the crystals to it and get high. Now with hydroponics, yes, they grow faster and bigger. More production. Speeding up nature to peak efficiency. The crystals accumulate more also. Not sure if this part is all true or not, it's what I've been told by very respectable drug-dealers. Regular pot outdoors (or indoors for that matter) grown in soil, there's wind, the dust falls off, etc. Plus regular pot only accumulates a little bit of crystals.
Now the THC part; *inhales* TetraHydroCannibol is in the weed plant, it gets ya high too. There are two forms I believe, the one that gets ya high and makes ya feel all funny and the other part is the one that gives ya the groggy affects afterwards, it runs its course longer than the first one, so after the "high" is gone, the "low" is still there. It's called C-something, CFG or CLT or something. But despite this fact (whether it's accurate or not) normally regular pot is harvested just before it flowers, the buds yeild seeds and people growing regular "homegrown" pot want the seeds for the next crop. But alot of THC is lost when the seeds form, that's why with "hydro" you'll never find seeds. If you find seeds in your hydro, it's not hydro. Cuz someone going thru all the trouble to grow hydro and with cops and neighbours, they want the best possible dope they can grow.
We should call this thread "Sweet Cheeba 101"
Lance is probably pissed off at me.
As for lighting, there's all kinds of different things people have said, "Oh, 400 watts per every two-foot-square of garden" and some regular bud is just grown outside in the sun. There's periods too. The vegetative state will be something like 16 hours of light and the plant will grow. To induce blooming (AKA bud-formation) you drop the light down to 12 hours. There's a bunch of other stuff, PH, humidity, etc, I won't get into right now. But that's basically it; hydro is better because of the technique in how it's grown. also different strains will generally be better than others.
I'm pretty sure what I have just said is right. If anybody reading this thinks I'm wrong, feel free to post your corrections. Is this all clear? *exhales*
Oh yeah, and female plants have big buds on them whereas male plants don't. I don't even consider it worth growing male plants. I just chuck them. Don't ask me why this difference between the sexes, i have no clue why...
