Spring crop finished, disappointed. rant

People who downtalk outdoor grown bud really dont know shit as far as Im concerned. The only thing indoors give you is control.. it doesnt give you better nutes, light, water, or anything. No indoor grower can match what a plant gets in nature.. potency/strength might be a little better indoors but thats it. As far as smell, taste, texture of the bud its no better.

i agree if your outdoor bud sucks your not doing it right...end of conversation.

Spring crop finished, disappointed. rant My spring harvest is curing right now, can't say I'm too thrilled with the results, better then nothing but not sure it's worth my troubles. 6 plants started from clones back in late Oct/Nov, I put them in 16 oz cups while I was waiting for my fall crop to finish and in no real hurry with them so I just kept them under what I thought was enough light to keep them from flowering but about a month later they started to show hairs so I got them under brighter lights at night and it took about Rating: 5

IF you only want to grow one or two plants in a bedroom closet maybe but I can tell you from first hand experience moving plants outside from inside the development of the plant is very much stronger and faster. I moved seedlings in 32 oz styro cups from my inside grow room outside a few months ago(when we had a nice 10 day stretch of weather) and I was stunned by their development over that week, in just a few weeks they doubled in size and in fact were two feet tall when I transplanted them, TWO feet tall in styro cups. Within a few weeks of transplant most were already larger then the indoor crop I just harvested.

Like I said, if you're only option is to grow inside then so be it but if I had a choice I'd choose outside every time. I don't really see an advantage to feeding plants inside or outside if they are in containers, the feeding would be pretty much the same. You have an advantage over pests but that isn't difficule to manage outside unless you have a very large number of plants. Then you have to factor in your power consumption and time, I find it takes a lot more work to nurture an indoor crop, the 24 hour lighting can raise suspicion, the heat build up can be a real problem and there have been numerous house fires reported from indoor grow operations.

not to mention your root zone is virtually unlimited. soil dependent of course. if i could hide an acre outside id charge for corn maze fun. you call it maize i call it cannabis
