Why does everyone seem to think Indoor bud is better?

[fluid69]

Faster to harvest...perhaps. Better...no way.
Not everybody likes hydro better, and I definatelly don't consider it the best. I'm one of those that much prefer the flavors and aroma's of soil grown meds...and there is no discernable difference between the two, in regards to the effects.

A lot depends on the grower, his talents, the quality of his/her genetics, the nutes and medium...But it's just plain easier to grow indoors. No nosy neighbors. No insect problems, no vermin or deer chewing on it, no hail storms, no street lights screwing with light schedules, no flooding or drought...

i'm with you 100%. I prefer the ease of a soil grow myself. and plants def prefer indoor around here since the soil is so rocky and made of red clay. but I think the average "stoner",(not growers) thinks hydro is better because of the street rep. you know the sells pitch, "this shit's hydro man!" LOL. but I'll be damned if I gonna pay 10-15 dollars more for anything! I've seen dumbass's around here pay $120 for a 1/4 oz of "Hydro", that didn't get me any higher than a bag I paid $50 a 1/4.

fluid69 Reviewed by fluid69 on 05-04-2009. Why does everyone seem to think Indoor bud is better? Everyone seems to automatically think that indoor bud is better for some reason. I don't see why that'd be true at all. The only advantage I see is environmental control but that's. At the end of the day the potency would still be in the strain would it not. I dont know.. any takes? Rating: 5

The street dealers around here freak when I smok 'em out with what I grow indoors.... they want to know where they can get some or get some seeds, etc. They have a hard time with really good weed, most just can't handle it. I smoked one out and he still doesn't know how he made it home that night or anything that happened after until he woke up in the morning.

They find it hard to believe that what I grow doesn't have a single seed on an entire plant. When they grow outdoors or indoors, they don't cull the males. Either they don't know or they don't care.....they are growing for quanity not quality. Thats the main difference.

back to my original post

but I personally believe it comes down to the grower and his/her care of the plants, as well as proper harvest and curing.

everybody freaks out over some good homegrown! there's quite a # of growers local to me, most grow in 5 gallon buckets outdoors, but plant stealing was a huge problem last year. so plant security is also a huge pro of indoor growing.:thumbsup:

Yeah...gotta love the Madison Ave. type of marketing.

Anyone see the documentary, Super High Me? In the beginning of the movie, the first thing the guy does is go into a dispensary and ask about the cannabis products available. The guy behind the counter mentions how the 'purple' cannabis is more potent. (folks...purple is only a color, it is not a sign of potency)

A movie taking you through the legalized medical cannabis process, yet spreading bullshit and marketing hype right out of the gate. Kinda pissed me off, and I quit watching it. I would expect this from a major manufacturer, but not from those we are supposed to trust with dispensing our meds. Whether it was a moron behind the counter, a moron that trained the moron behind the counter, or a business owner adding $10 a gram just by marketing a color change as a relevant distinguishing feature...bullshit is bullshit.

I guess once I've mellowed-out a tad, I'll watch the rest of the movie, but I would have expected better from a cannabis provider, in charge of dispensing other people's meds. (there ought to be a law against these practices, lol)

Anyone see the NORML ad's on Fox News channel...? It's about time! :thumbsup:

no doubt! the couple of times I actually seen/smoked purple shit, I was not that impressed.

isn't it a shame all the disinformation that goes on?

[headshake]

I'm going to try it because I don't see an advantage to growing indoors other than environmental control.

you just made your argument for yourself!

that is EXACTLY why growing indoors is preferred to a lot of people. (not that it is better necessarily.) but to do a grow comparison you need a controlled environment. you are not comparing apples to apples.

you also control the type of high by when you choose to harvest your plant (genetics obviously play a large part, as well).

sorry i didn't see this thread earlier.

Don't know if its better or not as far as high goes, but I agree to me it has a richer flavor. In my case I am a medical user/grower and its illegal for me to grow out doors, but in doors I can do.

I am going with Hydro because I can be gone for days at a time with no one to look after the girls. So with Hydo, a reserve, and some automation it will run on its on for a few days with no problem.

tell me about it.. I swear most people who smoke bud are air heads.. which actually reflects the general population anyway. One of my best friends (as much as I like him) gets bud from Cali that they charge as much as 150/quarter.. 500/oz. They claim that it's so good because its "Cali" bud (no such fucking thing unless it is a Cali landrace if you ask me)and thats where all the good stuff comes from. It comes from the medical disp. as far as I know and yeah the quality is some of the best I've ever had but when I lived in GA the Florida bud we were getting was just as good (whether it was homegrown or outdoor). I used to tell them this and they said.. "Florida isn't known for having good bud".

WHAT!!! that is some air headed shit to say given the fact that good bud can be grown anywhere. It is so much hype floating around in the cannabis community that it is sad. I don't try to enlighten people anymore. Just let them remain ignorant.

I've never seen it rain in my growroom . Muchless a seasons worth of it .
I'm bettin you lose trichs to it ?

It only rains CO2 in my growroom , 350 - 375 ppm of CO2 in the outside atmosphere . Yet 1500 ppm in my room . We indoor growers are control freaks . Sometimes it's nice to fool w/ Mother Nature

Ive factored it all in my man.. rain.. everything. I'll just have to see for myself.
