Hi Noiz,
I think I know what your problem is. You're NOT high, and you need to be... LOL
I see on the GHS site that like others stated, indoors is being measured in grams-per-square-meter, and outdoors is being measured in grams-per-plant.
Indoor yield is usually measured in grams-per-square-meter because many indoor growers use the Sea of Green (SoG) method. They are using a bunch of small plants in a certain area and typically they aren't vegged for very long and they don't grow very tall and are kept narrow (little to no side branching). The idea behind SoG is that you are growing the cola on the main plant stalk and thats about it. In this way, growers can easily get many plants per square meter. Think 25 small plants vs. 1 large plant. The problem with growing 1 large plant indoors has to do with lighting. When dealing with HID/indoor lighting, there are distance limitations to the effectiveness of the light (called PAR). one 1000w lamp can penetrate about 3' without diminishing it's PAR. less powerful lights have a much more limited effective PAR distance. in comparison, the SUN's PAR never diminishes, it is universally the same... and optimal for plant growth.
For outdoor people just grow plants in buckets, smartpots, the ground..... because even the tiny flowers near the bottom of the plant can turn into large buds, thanks to the intense universal PAR from the sun. it would be very difficult to do this indoors without lots of even and supplemental lighting, or training techniques like SCROG.
Bottom line, you can get more yield PER PLANT outdoor. You can get more PLANTS per area indoor. plus having a controlled environment can help avert stress (insects, very hot/cold days, storms/rain) which will ultimately affect yield as well.
I'm not sure what the seasons are like in Scandanavia, but if you have a cold spring and a shorter summer, you could always veg your plants indoors, then bring them outside for flowering when summer is starting. Just a thought. Hope this helps.
cheers

) thinking the same thing if not more indoor
