Oudoor veg v Indoor veg

[postmandave]

I got 2 big bang from someone so i thought i would do a thread on the differance from vegging outdoors for 2 months to vegging indoors under 600 watt mh.
I germed the seeds last week and planted them in john innies stage one on tuesday.
The oudoor seedlings will be placed outdoors tomorow and the indoors will be placed under fluoro tubes tomorow for 2/3 weeks then placed under a 600 watt mh they will be fed only water and superthrive ph 6.8 for the first 3 weeks then i will start nutes.
I will be repotting into john innes stage 2 with added perlite after week 2 using the full canna range of nutrients after week 3.The purpose of this thread is to show people that they could save £££££££ on electricity if they have an outdoor spot to stick a few plants while the good weather is hear and imo the final product is way better than the final product from an indoor veg . but be aware of nosey neighbours and weed theives make sure the spot is well secure and wont get you into trouble. be safe all the postman

It won't be fair unless you match the dark times with each other along with the ambient temperature. Also keep in mind the ground temps will be much cooler at this time of year verses your indoor soil, also giving the indoor plants an unfair advantage.

You could never never never never compare 600w of HID to the powerful sun! I'll be glued to my monitor to see the difference though! Madeline made a good point that they won't finish at the same time.

Bree and maddy I agree there is no way that a 600 watt mh would be any contest to vegging under the sun.The purpose is to show the differance in size and weight of yeild you can acheive when you veg outdoors . I read an article last year called outdoor veg indoor flower and the size of the plants and yeilds acheived were amazing .So based on that i thought last year i would give it a go so i put a clone outdoor last summer and after 4 weeks we had a bush that we got 120 clones from lol.But this time im flowering the plants to see the differance in quality and yeild to indoor veg .so hope the thread is intresting to folk and if anyone has any input its more than welcome like soil to use or feeding routine( would it be differant with outdoor grows)differant needs outdoor?any input at all would be welcome.will posyt some more pics on sunday.be safe the postman.
ps thanks for the input girls.
