The other thing is. Indoor costs more. Unless you've got solar or some kind of free energy. Outdoor has other risks too. Namely people and the odd animal. But, you get free light. And water when it happens to rain.

Outdoor is fighting the bugs and weather. Inside is just about the same. Except that you're the weather. And the bugs aren't coming from every fuckin direction.

I find indoor 100x worse for bugs outside the only one that causes more than a bit of leaf damage is caterpillars those fucks have caused me some grief over the years but since I started spaying with B.T I don’t lose too much to them

I look at indoor and outdoor as two completely different things they are almost polar opposite in my view,especially the way I grow I do coco and salts inside straight organic in soil out I’m a bit o.c.d with ph and e.c and timing on feeds indoor when I feed outdoor I don’t even measure shit when I make a mix I just free pour from the bottle and feed different stuff if I want,I find outdoor involves more “feel” and indoor is more regimented

 

[Nugachino]

Yeah. We're very different people.

I do organics indoor and out. I hardly measure anything once I know the rough volumes used. And I water-feed whenever I think they need it.

Another 3 in the final pots 5 to go,looks like I’ll have 5 spare females. Should have 8 varieties so I’m pretty happy with that will be good to be able to have a bit of variation.

Good to see your almost there. Spent most of the day about 9 mountains over looking for spots and creeks. Very happy with the creeks and soil I found.b

Bob don’t fuck around,I think it was in bict s thread last year when he had a run in with a black snake. He’s the type of guy you like working in the bush with no bullshit just tuck in work hard and deal with shit as it happens

I grew in soil my very first indoor grow around 98/99 and haven’t grown indoor with soil since lol. When you have a hydro system dialled in the speed of growth is really amazing. With something like your scrog you could take 25% of the time taken to fill that size screen in D.W.C or similar system it’d be even quicker they do have plenty of cons but when you get your shit down there is nothing like seeing a plant almost grow in front of your eyes

 

[Nugachino]

That was the only temptation. The speed of growth. I can't be bothered trying to walk the pH and res temp tightrope though. I'll stick to soil organics.

I did 3 years straight 6 cycles a year doing perpetual and was just on the edge of being burnt out with it and that was just a 3 light flower room. Had 12 in flower 12 in veg and 20 clones at all times it’s a lot of work.

Dedication much?! I couldn't do that it'd become like a chore, and I hate being told what to do

 

[Venus55]

FUK YE CUUUINT hay wheres miss venus at shes cool hay

Haha you're funny as ....

 

[Venus55]

I really enjoy growing outdoor indoor is more about controlling the environment and all the other shit than the actual growing,outside it’s all about getting the plant in the best shape possible and then it will just do it’s thing.

I'm finding outdoor hard! I'm so freaking paranoid about pests after seeing first hand the damage they can do relatively fast. I'm inspecting them 24/7 constantly bent over to look underneath the leaves and stem etc. Sucks having to be so worried all the time...(that neighbour would have to be loving it tho u'd have to think, lol )

That’s one of the reasons I’m single (the other one is that I’m a fucking cunt apparently lol) I don’t take “orders” well. It’s not that it’s a chore but it’s just the constant nature of running a perpetual grow cloning,veg,flower,dry,trim then repeat it becomes a bit like Groundhog Day.

What bugs are doing the damage ? I’ve used neem cake in my soil mix for the first time this year and so far I haven’t had 1 bit of insect damage on any of the plants and I haven’t even sprayed yet,I haven’t seen a lot of insects around for some reason but I do think adding neem to the soil has helped. Get some eco neem and eco oil and spray every them alternating every 3-4 days make sure you get underneath all the leaves and on the stems really soak them.

Feel like dog balls after a million beers and too much food yesterday. Going to mow the lawn and put a few of the outdoor plants in their final pots today. Might follow that up with a bit of a chuck then a kip so my liver doesn't climb out of my body to find somewhere healthier to live

Have a chuck first then a double bloody Mary without the tomato juice

See I haven't encountered any caterpillars ever. It's aphids that are my nemesis.
