Growing Indoors VS Outdoors

Growing cannabis indoors is very different from outdoor cultivation, even though marijuana has the same requirements to be grown. The outdoor environment must be recreated indoors for cannabis to grow well. Outdoors, a gardener can expend a minimum of effort and mother nature will control many of the things to come. Indoors the grow room assumes the role of mother nature and wields control of ALL factors influencing bud growth. Most people that start growing actually understand what all needs to be done to recreate this “mother nature”. Therefore the indoor grower must re-create the outside. Don’t let me scare you here, marijuana is one of the easiest plants to grow, it’s a weed built for survival 

Outdoor marijuana cultivation is normally limited to one crop. In warm climates, spring crops are also possible and if growing in a greenhouse with darkening curtains up to 5 full crops are possible. Light is often inadequate since the marijuana patch must be located in and undetectable place (damn feds, ruining our grow). A friend grew a wonderful crop in the middle of a midwest city that was camouflaged by several trees. It went undetected until the end of the season. One fine mid September day, a hard freeze caused the tree to loose all of its leaves overnight! However the marijuana plant stuck it out and was sticking out like a narc in a pot patch.

Indoor cultivation is harder to setup but the benefit is much better then growing outdoors, with a couple lamps you can re-create mother nature in your basement. By adding a timer to regulate the light plus a couple other supplies you can grow your pot year round. Indoor air is easily controlled to promote growth and create and unfriend environment for pests and diseases. Increase CO2 content to allow for better growth. Forced ar provides circulation and vertilation to keep air fresh. Raise humidity by misting or evaporating water into the air. Lower humidity by draying air with a heater of dehumifier. Clones root faster in a warm, humid indoor environment. Heat from the HID (lights) system provides ample heat for many grow rooms. Raise or lower air tempature with extra heat and an exhaust fan attached to a thermostat.

There are many pro’s and cons to each, law enforcement etc… lets here your ideas.

I miss the voting option for a greenhouse

Greenhouses do boost the grow a lot compared to a outside plant

There ya go TMC i added a greenhouse option just for you

I personally prefer to grow plants inside as there is less risk of been found out in my opinion. Also another upside of growing indoors is that you can keep an eye on your crop.

Indoor and outdoor for me, though I have much better success outdoors.

i like both

outdoor is too scary for me. yes imma punk.

ill take indo for 500, alex!

im more outdoor i find it to be more easy because the best water for the palnts are distilled or rain and when u know u cant water it one day it may rain and it wont kill your beautiful crop

Agreed, I prefer outdoor although I tend to start them indoors on a windowsill. Outdoors is best if you find a decent spot, you've got a much lower chance of getting raided if they're not on your property. Like the bloke above said, rainwater is high in nitrogen and minerals, whereas tapwater often has chlorine and other nasties in it. Yields tend to be better outdoors too, especially if the plants are started outdoors earlier than normal. Costs are kept to a minimum because there's no electricity bill to pay, and because you haven't got several HID's to add to your bill it decreases the chance of getting raided. Call me Mr. Paranoia but....

There is not a grow room on this earth that compare with the great outdoors after all indoor grows are trying to emulate the outdoors.the only problem with the outdoors is finding a place where no one ever goes to, well for at least the british summer.but if you can find that place and the weather is perfect i have only ever had one good realy good summer and that was about 10 year ago.but this year is looking promiseing we are getting at least 3/4 good bright warm days allready so this could be the year.

Variety is the spice of life.

We enjoy doing a little of both indoor and outdoor Hawaiian Hot house. This will be the first season we try to take clones from 18/6 and plant for the long season, getting tips from fdd2blk's " starts with a gallon of gas" . This is such a great site with wonderful people. Here is a look at some thumbs of whats in the line up.
By growing under lights we can put new clones into flowering every month.I get bored easily so asked my caregiver if we could harvest something every 30 days or so.

When we are all done trimming/manicuring/making butter and tincture rock candy suckers there is another harvest to work on!!!
Happy growing.....

thats really rough , i live in canada . got a nice little lady growing right now she sprouted may 20, i sowed the seed april 20th. took a whole month to germ but now shes 3 foot very close nodes and bushy maybe you should move here lol

im still pretty noob at growin but under the right circumstances you can get a much high yeild throughout the year growing indoors and your buds may be danker but it mostly depends on where you live and how much experience you have in either

im an outdoor fan but when it comes time for harvest, scares the shit out of me when im walking back with 30 or 40 plants in my arms and ive come to notice my pot grow outdoors doesnt even come close to my indoor potience

I prefer mine indoors, where I can keep an eye on it, have control over the environment, and not have to worry about some teenager carting off the fruits of my labors.

i do both...outside for my profit plants and inside for my smoke/special ones ...outside is a pain in the ass tho...some many factors to ruin your plant

i grow inside that way a law man wont just pass by and see my shit also i wont have to worry about other ppl seeing my crop and wanting to steal it
