i'm too lazy right now to google so why not ask the experts? if you have a link please put it here as i am very curious about this.

since i have never done anything more than germinate and get a couple inches in artificial light my question is for you total indoor growers who want more potency.

it's universally accepted that outdoor bud is more potent than indoor but i wonder why...

one big difference i see between indoor/outdoor (besides varying temps, varying light intensity, and more lumens in shorter time) is auxins..outdoor plants constantly track the sun. so, has anyone experimented with regularly tilting your indoor pots to mimic the earth's rotation, causing your plants to generate and use those auxins?? true, wind from a fan will create some auxin use but is it to the same extent and are these the same auxins used to track the sun? are these phytohormones linked to potency?

I've never thought about that before. Very good question but I don't think anyone has ever tryed it before.

well, i'm getting my garden ready this year, plowing and whatnot, and i was thinking about some tomatoes i grew last year... i had a few plants from the same strain, not clones, but definitely one phenotype from outward appearances... anyway, i accidently crushed one of the main stems with the cage and as that plant recovered its tomatoes became much better tasting than the others... if flavor is linked to auxins there is obviously some chemical domino effect..

You might be right about it. Someone needs to try it but its not going to be me.

tilt the pot every few days i guess.

to recreate nature you'd have to tilt them throughout the day. plants actually lean in the direction of the sun as the day goes on. it's especially noticeable in sunflowers.

has anyone considered a light mover type of track and ljust move it down the track across the room throughout the day then rotate the pots 200' daily tis would be more convenient and more like the natural effect.

i was away from the site for a while but i did some basic research and i would definately say that phototropic auxins (the ones that make plants move to light) are related to not only quantity of production for fruiting plants but also in overall vigor. i found research dating back to Charles Darwin's son that showed an increase in fruit yeilds by manipulating these plant hormones, i guess no one has ever tried it with weed.



if i was growing indoors i would def tilt pots throughout the day, or if i had a hella complex setup, do like dank said and move the lights.

An interesting theory actually. I'm not sure but Id say the difference of indoor and outdoor is UV.
