If you grow your plants for the nice pretty flowers that's cool, but I know which option I would take.
i agree. stabilized conditions are always better than outdoor variables; however, plants that are grown/flowered outdoors are more resillient than indoor plants.

therefore, if the plant gets used to a gradual change in temps (such as the natural changing of seasons) you have no probs.

i am NOT saying, though, that you should take and indoor plant, kept at 80 degrees and put it outside. nor am i saying to lower temps to 50-55 in a night.

the on/off temps in my basement are DAY:81f, and NIGHT 58f. no probs, and an unmature sample has gotten me roasted....so not all potency goes away for sure... and the taste is absolutely amazing....

just my 2 pennies....

I have insulated with aluminium foil, the covered again with PVC foil with the White side out. I have covered the top with a type of "lid" like apperatus, so as to keep the temperature maintained at a constant 25-28 celcius (80-85F) I have three 20 litre pots, filled with coco-peat organic, and are using the THC A and B Nutrients.
