Controlling it doesn't make it right. Have you actually grown outdoors? I have for a very long time, while I do enjoy the taste of my indoor hydro better (yes I know lol), potency is the same, I still enjoy the outdoor as well but I don't find a huge difference in taste if grown in the same medium, indoor or out. To say one is better is a personal opinion I think, or your just not doing it right. But yes there are more challenges outdoors but most are easily overcome if you know what your doing
