question on pot

do you (you as in people on the other side of the ocean) call pot different things than us? I've seen posts and stuff where skunk is mentioned as being something great to smoke. And from how I see it, skunk is nothing more than the best of the mediocre. Like if I was given skunk instead of what I like I'd be rightly pissed off. So is the terms different or what?

I know in the US the top end is called Chronic, people wouldnt use that term here. In the main we only call it skunk or green.
Is there hash round US, well i'm sure there is but in general what's the hash like over there?
Do people still really say 'wacky baccy' I always thought that was one of those rubbish terms no one except teachers use.
What does it mean out of interest?
Weed/Grass - can be like dried, dusty stuff or brickweed.
Hash/Solid/Resin - The brown (in most cases) stuff.
Skunk/Bud - The buds of the plant. Can be hydro or outdoor grown. Not too much variation in strength, but can sometimes get very very strong stuff.
Words used for all 3 of them are puff, draw, dope etc.
That may not be true for everywhere, I've heard different words used by people from other parts of the UK.
I have never smoked the sticky residue stuff out of a bong. I have heard mixed things about doing that, some people say its good, others say its bad and dirty.
The term "hydro" just refers to the method of growing (hydroponics) not the actual strain of cannabis.
The roots of the plants are in a medium be it volcanic ash or other such porous material and the nutriments are washed round in a water solution. In this way you can give the plant exactly what it wants when it wants it, and because the nutriments are in simple form the plants doesnt have to work to get them.
However, there is some debate as to whether this actually produces a better plant, because by only feeding it the raw chemicals it needs to grow you MAY be neglecting the minor trace elements it would pick up from soil.
Also all hydroponic plants will be grown under lights, which will make the plant grow much faster because they can be on 24hrs. But, they never give the full spectrum of the sun so many people say they dont quite produce the same effect.
Personally the outdoor grown skunk I have had in the past has been better than stuff under lights. Just as tomato's grown outdoors are better than lamp ones. However this difference may have been due more to do with the grower than the method per say.
As for making solid or resin. You get a fine mesh and rub dry buds, leaves etc above it. The resin glands then fall through the mesh and you scrape them all up and press them very hard together.
The Hawaian weed I had while there was wierd, very very strong but only lasted about half an hour.
And in South Africa you really only get outdoor grown stuff, its shit leaf, but then at £4 an ounce you cant complain!
You'd have to import 100's of kilos to make any real profit.
Though they do have good soft SA hash, I'd love to get some more of that.
Shit even nepalese hash was going for £15 an 1/8th there!
