Bush is generally low-quality outdoor grown marijuana, but often "bush" can be pretty potent even though it is outdoor
Cabbage is just what's left after the buds are removed ie. leaves & stems
Skunk is potent indoor marijuana. It's called skunk because it smells strong

Oh thanks for that...
Is there any way apart from smell.. like visually, to tell the difference?

Cabbage looks like stems and big leaves, not buds
Bush and skunk are just labels, they are pretty meaningless really

Cabbage is just leaf as far as I'm concerned, and can be used in oil or hash, but you need a lot.

The difference between 'bush' and 'skunk' is that bush weed is not sensimilla, which is indica, sativa or a hybird combination of both. Sensimilla is the primo weed that is sticky and skunky, but skunk is generally a loose term that covers sensimilla weed, such as Northen Lights, Durban Poison, Blueberry, AK-47, Afghani and about 200other strains atleast.

It basically comes down to potency, which translates to the THC content in the plant. Bush weed tends to have a lower THC content because it comes from a weak strain, Skunk has come from good seeds/clones.
Some bush weed is pretty good and can get you pretty high, but give me sensi anyday.
There is SOOO many awesome strains, each has a unique taste and stone and it is worth knowing what you are smoking. I think you'll find some primo White Rhino around the auckland area if you have good sources, as well as some Afghani and SuperSkunk, maybe some BigBud as well.

variety is the spice of life, so start researching the best strains and the differences between indica and sativa and you will be hooked on getting your own garden started.

peace

that's funny, I always thought that 'sinsemilla' just meant "without seeds" (?/

?)
Bush can be really good - i have grown lovely buds outdoors, and if you only smoke hydro/skunk for ages you can hanker after a change - but as another poster says, it's good to mix em up and notice the different qualities of stone, as well as different flavours etc.- and you can sort of get 'immune' to a single strain if that's all you have, no matter how potent.
In Oz (and I imagine here) you can detect a flavour of the environment the outdoors - bush bud- is grown in - e.g. if it's grown under gum trees you can sorta taste it in the buds, which is sorta nice - 'Mango' buds are lovely!
I guess it's a bit like the wine buffs who can detect the characters that grapes have that are grown in different vineyards/areas.

I think my comments were a little misunderstood,
you can grow just as potent weed outdoors as you can indoors, and skunk doesnt exclusively mean indoors or hydro weed, its just a loose term for sensimilla, which is seedless, high quality weed. Bush weed to me doesnt mean outdoors in general, it means the lower potency harsher tasting weed that I compare to the Mexican Brick Weed everyone calls STRESS in the States. It's usually darker in color, I'm almost positive it is a low potency Sativa strain. Stress gets you stoned, but its called stress for a reason, the good stuff is usually referred to as Chronic, particulary in LA.

So Chronic=Skunk and Stress=Bush

So to conclude, Bush weed or Stress (I actually cant remember the correct term) is not SENSIMILLA. SENSIMILLA is either Indica or Sativa or a hybrid, and can be grown indoors OR outdoors. The terms relate to the quality and potency of the weed, you understand now!

hope this cleared things up a little bit

Iv'e grown an indoors strain outdoors with very good results.
I think taking an outdoor strain and growing it under lights tends to improve it quite a bit,but taking an in door strain and planting it outdoors does it no harm at all.Of course some indoor strains just will not do anygood outdoors at all,but a few that Iv'e tryed did ok.
A while back I was into supply and the guy I was selling to would always insist on in doors so I just told him it all was.He couldn't tell the difference.To give bush grown weed a better indoor type flavour I put a couple of strips of bull kelp in the bottem of the hole before refilling it with
soil.Anybody that reckons bush grown weed is not as good as hydro should try Hollands hope.Maaaaaaate.

whats hydro-skunk 420 ?

Guest · Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2004 10:56 pm

super skunk is actualy skunkxafghani and it may not necesarily be stronger than skunk alone.

There are at least 20-30 different skunk strains offered by overseas cannabis seed banks.

Here in Nz any weed with a stong smell is often called skunk as skunk denotes quality and something special.

Hydro skunk is just skunk grown hydroponicly but it should be recognized that the pot which has tested highest for thc strength in nz was grown in potting mix ............................. not sure if that was the warehouse variety though

hey people
I've just arrived in auckland and need a dealer. Can anyone help me out?

Actually skunk is a strain of mj, look it up at any seedbank

SENSIMILLA is either Indica or Sativa or a hybrid,

No, sensimilla is the spanish word for seedless, ie female mj plants that are not a) hermi or b) pollinated by a male. Any weed grow anywhere of any potency is sensimilla if it is seedless.

I compare to the Mexican Brick Weed everyone calls STRESS in the States. It's usually darker in color, I'm almost positive it is a low potency Sativa strain

I think you mean shake....... a sativa from mexico? Really? Imagine that...

Get a grasp on the basics first, then spread the word. Don't post rubbish 2c

C'mon guys abit of false info getting thrown around here,

Bush weed is a Sativa, which was some of the original smoke that arrived in NZ, skunk is an Indica but also remember that alot of strains have a cross of both Sativa and Indica, both give different types of highs, more info can be found at emeryseeds.com

Sativa taller plants thinner leaves, more of a body stone
Indica shorter plants wider leaves, more of a cerebral high
