Your right, the buds indoors can easily look danker, but it doesnt mean they will actually contain more thc or be danker...cuz outdoor sunlight is powerful as fuck, and scientists believe cannabis evolved with thc as a way to protect from UV damage, so the sun being so strong can cause outdoor plants to contain more thc...while they may not look as pretty lol but im not 100% on this...jus hypothesizing
yeah man, that makes sense...i hear all the time out west in your part of the country that great dank is grown outdoors...i myself have just never seen it...i've got friends in lala land i gotta visit, i want to try some organic outdoor gdp or sfv og kush...as long as it had a great taste and got me stoned as fuck, i wouldn't care if it looked a little less....and Zig, i just saw your grow, awesome man!! you an outdoor pro?? looks like you got things handled....Your right, the buds indoors can easily look danker, but it doesnt mean they will actually contain more thc or be danker...cuz outdoor sunlight is powerful as fuck, and scientists believe cannabis evolved with thc as a way to protect from UV damage, so the sun being so strong can cause outdoor plants to contain more thc...while they may not look as pretty lol but im not 100% on this...jus hypothesizing
Yeah its trippy bro, and it makes sense too when you think about it...all those little mushroom shaped transparent trichomes , I could see how they protect against uv damage...
Terrific points!and that bud looks friggin awesome!Alright for the matter of indoor VS outdoor, lets face it they both have advantages and disadvantages, sure you cant control when the sun gives your plants light but the intensity of the light is much greater then any light you can buy, aswell stress from the elements outside is beneficial for the plant as what doesn't kill it only makes it stronger. wind is what makes the stems strengthen and become more sturdy forthat you can grow big buds without the plant fallen over, and the rain in small amounts cleans the leafs, makes hte plant produce more resin on the leaf for a repelent and of coarse the plant will take in small amounts of moisture through the leafs.. basically if you got the climate for outdoor growing and you know what your doing, and you use the right strains you can defently grow grade a stuff outside and yeild much more, just remember location location location, i live in BC canada and i have grown VERY good ganga outside, infact i had a friend who grew the same strain indoors with HPS and i grew it outside, we used same nutrients, and the conclusion was that i got a bigger crop and my crop seemed to turn out much more potent. EXTREMELY dense buds, people knock outdoor all the time because they get this weird idea its all swaggy but its not true, it can be very much Superior, and dont froget half the process of getting really potent buds is the drying/curring process if you dont dry and cure them properly you wont get that awesome tasting no burn in the lung weed we all love.
Here's a picture of one of my colas from last year, fully cured, this stuff would knock you on your ass and make you speak in toungs, the strain is double O7
and its about as hard as a brick of hash i kid you not.
OUTDOOR RULES!
hell ya my brotha! great stuff...i've never seen outdoor that dank, just awesome...i just love marijuana sooo much, that is the bottom line...for the first time ever i have 4 plants goin in my best friends back yard, it's an awesome spot, one just showed sex, a boy...it's purple wreck so i'm gonna pollenate a branch of a lady to make more seeds...there all in 5 gal pots, and totally organic soil with ammendments..i go over there almost daily to take care of em, and i'm really excited to see how dank i can get some outdoor buds....this is my first try...i've already put some neem oil on and there's no signs of pests....
I'll throw my two cents into the fray, I've grown outside for 41 years now. I don't know that much about indoor growing, I've smoked my share and have had good and bad same as good and bad outdoor. Genetics, strain for your growing conditions, knowledge of your soil and how to enhance it, lots of attention, you get bigger yields outdoors. As already stated drying and curing are the key to good smoke, you can take the most potent smoke around and ruin it by doing this wrong. Nothing can give your plants the balance that the sun does, the plants have evolved from their exposure to the sun, maybe down the line indoor strains will evolve differently, but I love growing outdoors.
yeah, this year I'm crossing afghani mazar and g-13 giga bud with white widow. results coming this time next year!
well put bro, my plants are outdoors for the first time and not just outside in pots, they are in the ground and in some of best soil my state has to offer. I'm pretty lucky that the soil in my area is top notch farm land soil.
Outdoors is more potent because of the natural sunlight, you also get bigger buds outdoors(don't get me wrong, If properly done you can get big buds indoors too). I prefer indoor growing because I am god, I control the atmosphere and have everything dialed correctly. Outdoors is a really good way to get experience because you will encounter pest, but you can't do anything about the weather.
