Had my first experience at a California Hydro Store today...

[Anti]

[rant on:]
The guy behind the counter started telling me about the "strands" he liked to grow.

Strands of what?

Hair?

If you refuse to call them cultivars at LEAST call them STRAINS.

Not good, hydro store guy. Not good at all.

[rant: off]

 

[SeaMaiden]

Seriously, at the shop he was talking about that? I thought that was completely verboten. I call them variously varieties, lines, cultivars, or strains. But when people call them strands it does crack me up.

 

[Kcar]

I have a friend that insists on calling them strands. Like cannabis is a rope, and
each kind is a strand, man! lol

 

[catalyte]

hahahaha!!!!

 

[jackpot7]

lmfao it drives me crazy too!

 

[unclefishstick]

well yah gotta figure anyone working in a growstore for minimum wage probably isnt the best grower in the world....otherwise they most likely wouldnt need to work in a grow store....

 

[fungzyme]

Yeah, the hydro store guy should know it's not about what strand yer growin', it's all about pickin' the best phenol. Or is it phenom? I forget...

Probably a new guy set up by coworkers in the back room laughing their asses off.

Where I live, the hydro guys NEVER mentions anything to do with growing of weed. It is a big NO NO. But, I live in a place that does not appreciate the cultivation of weed.

heres the only three questions you should ever ask a hydro store employee..
1. do you have X in stock?
2. how much does X cost?
3. any chance i can get a discount?


if you have any other questions than that,come to icmag first and get an answer,you're likely to save a shitload of money...

 

[Mr.Fastcast]

I sometimes asked for freebies.

That drives me CRAZY !!! I hear it all the time..

Glad it bugs other people..cause I thought I was the only one who noticed

 

[Floridian]

I read an article the other day about a particular strand that may cure cancer.They are talking about reefer right?

 

[lee van keef]

Haven't heard "strand" in a while and it's been nice. I'd like to start using cultivar, cause I'm down with proper nomenclature and all but I'm afraid I would frequently get this response: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRQijskAMp4#t=07s

 

[Ziggaro]

I hate when people say strand (strain is OK).. I like cultivar the best (we're not talkin bout fungi here..).
But I feel like a douche saying it correctly, like I'm trying to point out that they're wrong
I can't help it! It's like when I ask how you are and you say good. Then you ask how I am and I respond, "I'm well." Sometimes I just want to say, "I'm good, too" so they don't feel bad.

It doesn't bother me at all.

ummm, weed (drools)

 

[420mike]

Ever since I moved to Cali I have heard the word strand used when it should be strain. I just stopped correcting people, its too much work.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Stay out of the South.

They can't talk either.
