well i hear chronic and i think hydrochronic, whats the difference?
is hydro chronic even a word?
also, i never did understand the difference between something like Orange Kush or White Widow and then just "chronic". I usualy buy chronic unless they have kush or widow.... i dont get the difference... can someone please explain?
asked my friends, and they dont know. I also asked my dealer, and he didnt really give me a straight answer

It's all marketing my good man. "Chronic" just means good weed. "Hydrochronic" is a way for dealers to make the weed sound even better, when in fact "hydro" means water, which therefore could mean it was grown hydroponically. But, probably just a marketing ploy. "Orange Kush" and "White Widow" are more marketing gimmicks, but could in fact be actual different strains of very good indica bud. Other people could probably fill us in on that. Your dealer probably doesn't know anything either, all he cares about is making some money, unless he is actually the grower and therefore doesn't want you all up in his business. Anyways I'm just ramblin here.......

if your dealers aren't growing, then they probably don't know what strains they are selling... orange kush, white widow, etc are all strains of ganja... 'hydro chronic' would be (i guess) the strain chronic grown hydroponically (with water jars)... check out overgrow for more detailed info...

Technically, Chronic is a term that describes marijuana laced with cocaine, though it has taken on a meaning to mean really potent ganj. So aparently, your dealer is selling you weed cut with water and coke.
Okay, probably not.

You're dealer, like everyone else who deals with inexperienced people, is trying to make his stuff sound the best. Hydro just refers to the way it was grown, and chronic is just a stupid name for some good stuff. There is also an actual strain called Chronic, but i don't know how good it is.

my dealer hasnt ever used hydro when saying what he has. Its usualy Chronic, stress, White widow, Orange or Purple kush. But i wasnt sure if chronic be used for Orange Kush, or if chronic its self is just the name used for good weed. Like you have highs mids and lows. Stress, Chronic, etc...? so then Chronic could be used for Orange Kush?
oh and Yes, i have had Orange and Purple Kush and then White Widow (which my friend was convinced was laced with coke, which is why it was called white widow).
I just never looked into these things, and instead of assuming and looking like an ass when im talking to someone, i would like to get the actualy diffenitions so to speak about strains...

"chronic" is actually a strain of weed, but generally it just means any type of good bud
anything with a name(blueberry, white widow, silver haze, etc) are all "chronic", assuming they were grown correctly, good homegrown will also be reffered to as chronic.
but fuck all that, just pack it and smoke it.

I put something in the bong that definitely wasn't called "chronic" by the seller, certainly not the best, but it gets me stoned

My advice to you is... Forget everything you think you know. Period.
Don't listen to anything anyone tells you unless you can prove it with FACTS.
http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis.shtml
Go there.
Strains aren't a very big deal right now. Only when you start growing will strain matter and that's after a few goes at it. If you buy $50 seeds your first go around, you'll waste your money.
Some people will argue the strain thing to death, but whatever.
If you go around with these terms you keep using you'll make a fool of yourself.
My dude simply has good weed. I had a conversation with him once and it was clear that he didn't know much more than where to get more to sell to me.
Do yourself a favor and just read read read. Then when you think you know, you will have no one to tell that will know what you're talking about. You're lucky if you find someone who knows but you wouldn't be able to spot one right now. You could waste a lot of time with a smooth talking bullshitter to find out he made you a fool. Places like the shroomery is one of your only exceptions as far as people in the know. Stick around.
And if you use slang, use local slang so your friends know what you're talking about. Slang is different everywhere.
Example: In Texas speed is dope, some older people use 'dope' for weed. It's all a regional thing dude. Don't use slang unless you know the person you're telling knows exactly what you're saying. Don't assume. You could be asking, "You want to smoke some dope?" (referring to weed) He hears, "You want to smoke some speed?"
See where I'm going with this?
Good luck!

People make up names to sell shit because they don't know. Like someone said earlier, unless you know whose growing it, or your dealer does, no guarantees.
Also here's a strain guide. http://www.overgrow.com/strainguide/ Look at the pictures. If you aren't sure what you have, and you think its laced with something, more than likely you don't have the genetics you think you might.
