Hey I'm kind of new. What's the difference between indoor and outdoor grown? Outdoor is way cheaper is it not as strong? what's beter or worse between the two?

My two cents.
I find that outdoor if allowed to fully mature is definitely better than anything grown indoors. Indoor weed tends to taste better because it is usually fresher. I have had really excellent indoor weed in both taste and quality but it never quite reaches the quality of a properly timed harvested and cured outdoor grow. The only explanation I can offer for the typical higher prices for indoor grown is that it is typically grown until it is fully mature even if that is just 4 or 5 weeks whereas outdoor weed is often harvested early out of paranoia over getting busted or ripped off. Outdoor weed that is harvested early definitely will not be as good as indoor weed that was fully mature when harvested.
Outdoor weed grown properly (no fish emulsion ever) and without being overly nutriented and being fully mature will always be better than the same exact plant grown indoors.
Let the discussions begin.
Indoor will always test higher if grown with C02. Outdoors there is only so much c02 in the ambient air. And the climate can not be controlled. If you were to take the same strain 1 outdoor and 1 indoor with added c02 you should have 5 to 7% more THC in the indoor plant. Temperature is also key in max production of THC. Controlling humidity: temp and c02 will always produce a more potent plant!!!!!!!!!
there is alot of things to take into consideration....
do you have a space to grow indoors?
are you prepared to buy a light, nutes, venting, fans, soil, etc....?
lots of maintenance (monitoring ph, temps, light cycle, etc)
smaller yields, but really good, quality buds :jointsmile:
or do you have a spot outdoors that is not visible to the public?
a way to get water to the plants on a regular basis?
still lots of maintenance, watching for pests, theifs, storms, etc....
higher yeilds, that is the only plus to me, but i know lots of people that prefer outdoor if they have the land to do it.
Both ways are good, just different. happy growing! :jointsmile:
Outdoor fo sho
Though I may be somewhat biased,
Indoors has some advantages. You control the climate. You can control the lights. However the yields are small. It is easier to grow inside with a much better chance of some good smoke. Also you can schedude a harvest every month because you control the photoperiod.
Outside has the sun. There is no light made that can duplicate it. Your plant has unlimited space to grow into. And of course the soil is an unlimited buffet for your plant. But there are no sure things. A rainy week at the wrong time can ruin your crop. A ripper can steal your stuff. Many more variables. Much better yield. And unless you live in Hawaii (or other tropical location) you only get one shot a year.
A plant grown inside will yield a couple of oz's. It will take 8-12 weeks. The same plant outside will take 24-36 weeks and yield a pound or more. You take more chances outside, but the retun is far larger.
As for quality, While I personally have yet to see anything grown inside that can beat what I grow outside, I'm sure others will feel differently. Not many indoor growers here.

This is why we will have a prob in leaglizing. There is no set benchmark for THC content.. It effect everyone dif, what gets me high may not even buzz you or vice verse.
When we have something, meds or leagle that has munipulated thc levels then we will have our benchmark all across the world.
Or someone come up with a THC test kit so everyone can show the THC content of their buds and then we can see who has the best.
Anyway mother nature can not get as hot as a 1000HPS shoved up your ass. LOL
I agree; apples and oranges.Quote:

Lead
Right now we have some co-ops and dispenseries. That's the way it should be if leagle.
But every other drug that is leagle is regulated and manipulating. Why should MJ be any dif. It must be to be farely taxed. I don't like it either but there has to be a benchmark for fare taxation. It's the greedy government and that's the way it will be. The plant is not the problem the gov is.
How many taxes can they get from grow your own. LOL
I don't want leagalization I want to end the Prohabition.
Medicated is the only way I feel good about this Country. Heavily
Every now and then I sound like I'm making sense. just maybe not while medicated. LOL
Absent prohibitionist policy, why limit distribution to "co-ops" and "dispenseries"?Quote:
