How are mids grown?

We all know that shwag is just fields of wild cannabis harvested, leaves stems seeds and pistils, and is thus shitty. And dank is good genetics with the male plants usually weeded out (sometimes there are hermis, which would explain why sometimes you get dank bud with a seed or two).

But what about mids? I mean, if I was growing bud I'd make it quality. After all, it doesn't take much work. I have two theories: mids are good genetics grown in shitty conditions (like Acapulco Gold), or they're relatively crappy genetics grown in decent conditions, or maybe there's just a whole separate world of "mid-strains". I mean, it looks like it's pretty much grown like shwag, only only the buds are harvested, and it's fairly potent.

I'm pretty sure they come from out of state/out of country too. The dank stuff is mostly homegrown but I'm pretty sure mids come in shipments because sometimes the market floods with the same kind of mids everywhere, while other times we have the normal variety (like right now, the same kind of bud is everywhere, even in Maryland I think from me and my friend exchanging pics).

While i do mostly agree with you id like to point something out. You can take bagseeds from mids and grow some decent buds ... you can take a dank ass seed and fuck it up and get some seedy shit. When a plant gets fertilized it takes a lot of thc to creat the seeds / pods so its going to be more mid range bud.. keep only the females and more of the trichs are gonna be left

Mids are grew mostly the same as schwag.

Large Commercial Grows in mexico. They are taken better care of than the plants schwag comes from, they are normally picked early and bricked up which is why its mid.

If they took a little better care of it, picked right time and didn't brick it up, let it dry and cure like we homegrowers do then it would be excellent smoke.

Mids is just Good Schwag.

It all works out though because it helps us with shallow pockets!

I believe there are many strains of varying quality. If you use seeds from a medium potency plant, you can take the greatest care possible and get it to it's optimum potency, but it still won't be as good as a much more potent strain given equal care.

I think that shwag is just left to grow in masses, then once the time of harvest comes along, they probably check the triches on one plant and then just harvest everything. I think mids is somewhat the same, just grown with more care, such as harvesting the plant at the right time.
