Vocabulary/Slang Terms (Updated With the Missing Terms)

amazing thread. has bossted my vocabulary loads

That shed some light for sure. thanks!!

Herbs - Aromatic plants used for seasoning, medicinal purposes, or garnishes. Aromatic
herbs are the ones that have fragrant or smelly leaves or flowers. Cannabis leaves are sometimes used as a Herb.

Hermie/Hermaphridite - A plant that changes sex midway through it's life cycle, to have
both FEMALE and MALE characteristics. Due in part to many factors, but primarily due to
stress (ie; light stress, heat stress, nute stress) or improper dark cycle. (ie; not sealing off
the grow area properly and not letting the plant get 100% COMPLETE darkness)

HID - High Intensity Discharge (lighting)

HPS - The best light available today for growing marijuana. High Pressure Sodium lights
are very bright and very efficient. This light has a red/orange spectrum that is ideal for
the flowering phase. With enough of these kind of lights you too can grow those
centerfold buds. HPS comes in a wide variety of wattages from 70 watts up to 1000 watts.

Hormone - A biochemical product of a specific cell or tissue that causes a change or
activity in a cell or tissue located elsewhere in an organism.

Hydroponics - The growing of plants without soil, instead using a medium like clay
pebbles, rockwool-floc or perlite and vermiculite mixture. And giving the plant all the
nutrients through the water the roots are in.

great work! thanks! one minor correction. ScrOG and SOG are two different things. ScrOG is Screen of Green as you described. SOG is Sea of Green and refers to a growing practice made famous by a well traveled video. Through early cloning and very short veg times, you wind up with smaller plants and smaller yields, but you also finish very quickly. so if you are eager to get those first precious grams of bud into your bong, SOG is the way to go. http://www.kindgreenbuds.com/marijuana-grow-guide/seaofgreen.html

This is a great sticky. Other forums similar to this one should adopt a similar sticky in their NEWB section.
