Thoughts on Indoor vs Outdoor Quality

I’ve done about 10 indoor grows and 4 summer outdoor grows here in SoCal. Wondering what my fellow growers think about indoor vs outdoor. Some swear that outdoor can be more potent; does anybody have any data on that?

Ive grown Purple punch indoor and outdoor from same seed bank this past year, and have done same with Cookies and Sour D in the past, and here are my observations.

Indoor requires more work, but outdoor also requires daily attention due to bugs, mold. Both my Purple Punch plants were monsters. Indoor, it was a 4’ tall beast in a 3 g pot under 600w from wall LED lights, producing 4 oz of colorful, sweet tasting bud. Outdoor, I planted in a 10 fabric pot and got 21 oz of huge, dense buds. In terms of taste and potency, both very similar. But main difference was the much bigger outdoor buds- like golf balls! With outdoor here in SoCal, where night temps rarely drop below 60’s in summer, I have not gotten any purple hues, even with Purp Punch, Granddaddy Purps, Cookies. It is temperature that causes color.

Best part of outdoor is the yield, huge buds and a similar level of potency as indoor. Indoor can give that more crystal coated look and more color, but is the weed better?

I look forward to both indoor and outdoor grows. What are thoughts about merits of each and the quality of the weed?

Someone mentioned genetic. Good point. Sun also has the UV innit. Oh wait. The sun is the UV. The giant Halide sob.

If you compare both loads of work they are about equivalent if you want primo.

Outdoor dank I say are plants that make it passed the elements and really show their true colors. Socal can survive a lot of genetics outdoor. Even in December. Around this time gotta watch the wind though that will blow a wet pot of colas over time and time again.

Do an run for test. Two clones man. One outdoor one indoor. But make sure you give them both mad love. Wash the outdoor after you chop in 5 gallons, shake dry and hang that shit until u notice it's dry to touch then hang cure it with ur indoor but label it. Smoke a bud from both off the branch and u tell us what u think.

edit* washing is more tech than I just said it there but you can research diff methods. I use Baking soda or soda ash whatever I have at the time + lemon juice. Never liked usng hydrogen peroxide

Many times outdoor that tastes bad u are burning and smoking dust :eyesmoke: :peace:
