At least thats my thoughts on that, I dunno for sure. You can get some amazing plants having complete darkness during your dark cycle, just look at 99% of the grows posted on this site. I say if its not broke don't fix it.


And we're not trying to replicate nature in an indoor grow, we're trying to get max yield in shortest time, something nature can't accomplish. If you're going to try and imitate nature, you should let tons of bugs in your room, maybe knock your plants over with a leaf blower to imitate a severe storm during the growing season, etc. Growing indoors isn't an attempt to replicate nature, its an attempt to provide your plants with IDEAL conditions, which are seldom, if ever, found naturally.


just because someone is growing indoor dosnt mean that your trying to grow fast and get as much out of it as you can i simply grow indoors because of the fact that i live around others and u cant just grow pot outside around a bunch of people or i atleast choose not to.

if its not broke dont fix it.

if everybody thought like this we would all be throwing stones at animals for food and lighting our fires with a rocks.

There are many things that require a little testing to see even though i dont have the setup yet for "expirements" . What if there is a posiblity ..when you grow indoor you are simulating nature in a way giving it nutrients and co2 and light etc who knows wat might happen if you take another step forward bud sizes could increase 10fold and you would never know because it wasnt "Broke"
