today's bud

i actually prefer that yummy outdoor bud nice and skunky and sparkly and u can just smell the outdoors in it.mmmmmm

yeah i prefer more earthy tasting stuff compared to commercial brite green skunk

I find outdoor weed looks like nasty weed, but it always surprises you with a heady smoke. Trichs mean nothing in my opinion. I've had weed that had no trichs and hardly any hairs, but it was a potent sativa smoke.

Looks good to me man. Enjoy! :smokin:

^^ That something i've been tending to say recently, and while i was ready a site it said it too, the trichs dont actually mean anything.

Those look like nice buds. And since you know the grower, you can be sure they haven't been keifed used to make hash. Better than commercial for sure.

yea man thats what im talking about. For me the looks r great all natural, just like the way it has been grown. I smoke many years and i have my way to find the best bud i can for me. And i believe outdoor organic buds have unique natural taste and smell almost like a spice. Its like honey. Natural honey tastes better and fuller than the commercial one. Thats why i buy my buds from old timers that grows them themselves

dont underestimate the power of sun and nature. Dont put it under lamps, cables and chemicals.

Dont listen to the people saying that is bad. They dont seem to know anything, listen to lip and the others, that is outdoor grown bud its a little leafy but its still good smoke.

Basically, the main thing you need for growing cannabis is LUMENS and the right spectrum.

Lights can do it very well, but the sun has more lumens than any light ever will, and it has both spectrums.... all in all outdoor bud is probably actually nicer than indoor grown bud, because its natural.

i don't spend eternity trimming the little leaves, besides they are potent and they taste fine. my bro-in-law spends 5 hours manicuring a plant (no shit) so he can look at it, pass the baggy and say "oooh, look at this, smell this, ooohh!" lol I just wanna smoke some, not marry it. (then the squid puts a crumb in a 30 cal. bowl and thats that).

i'll post a pic of the buds from my plant that i put on the photo thread sometime this weekend. You'll see the leaves, but i don't care. the shit works and tastes fine.

Actually, I read somewhere that midday sunlight is like 5,000-8,000 lumens per square foot, or somewhere around there, which you can easily surpass with any medium- or large-sized grow light (say, 400 watts or larger). I run around 12,000 lumens/sqft in my cabinet, which is much more intense than mere sunlight.

And the plants don't really have any way to determine whether light is 'natural' or not. If it's the right spectrum, when the photons hit the plant, they use it. A photon is a photon; there are not natural photons and unnatural photons, there are just photons.

Ditto for potassium and nitrogen and iron and all the other things plants need. There isn't natural potassium and unnatural potassium. Potassium is potassium. Nitrogen is nitrogen. The plants don't care where it comes from, they just care that they get some, and not too much.

What sunlight offers is fiscal efficiency. You don't have to pay the sun to use its light. In every other way, indoors seems way better to me, as you have complete control over everything. More light than the sun can provide, much reduced risk of experiencing problems with pests or mold or wild cats/dogs or thieves or male pollen. The downside, of course, is you have to pay for the electricity, but that's a fair tradeoff.
