Indoor vs Outdoor

[Kant]

why is stuff grown outdoor always cheaper? every time i see a thread asking what the prices are like at various locations there's always a distinction between indoor and outdoor. the only reasons i can think of are pesticides and freshness. outdoor plants are more vulnerable to pests and are only really fresh at the end of the harvest. Does anyone have a better explanation for this?

hmm ok you kinda picked up on one of the reasons why.
Outdoor ussually only gets about 8 hours direct sunlight a day, it might even be less if its in someones backyard, a forest, or near mountains. This make the plants grow more leaves, so you get leafy bud, with a large of amount of space between flowers on the stem. Obviously this has a lower value.
A lot of outdoor grows are poorly tended to, and males are not removed from the crop, so you end up with 100+ seeds in every ounce. When ive seen bags like that, 1/4 or more of the ounce's weight is seed.

dont get me wrong some outdoor can be great if it gets stacks of light and is well looked after. The best combo would be plant under sun all day then move it inside under a lamp for remainer of light cycle. the sun is the best grow lamp.

outdoor is more susceptible to frost, insects, and being found, but indoor is susceptible to mold/fungus, and other problems from poor ventilation like leaf curl/burn.

99% of the time outies suck. really harsh, extra amounts of stems, extra amounts of leaves and horrible taste all due to conditions ranging from sun exposure times to weather to bugs. Theres a few exeptions out here in cali where i've seen bud look as nice as indoor that was grow outside. Outdoors are always about $2000 a lb compared to a nice super rude perfectly grown indoor lb for $4000.

wow i haven't seen this thread in a long while. any, my point was if you have two bags of bud of comparable quality, often times outdoor is cheaper.

Imo indoor bud grown well owns outdoor.
Others disagree

 

[DirtPoor]

This thread is so old but where's all the outdoor growers? I think that bud grown outdoors with no cover could be a bit less desirable, but IMO greenhouse is the best.

Iv grown outside and Inside to me the quality is the same it's all about genetics

 

[dirtsurfr]

I'm going out this year who wouldn't want a lb per plant
compared to 4-5 ozs per plant??
And as far as quality I'll take out door if grown right.

Shit dude some built up aggression and all, they have shrinks for that. Type a question about weed in google and I garantee you RIU will be one of the first answers, it's actually how I became a member...

 

[keifcake]

The google engine helps me find info easier than the search on here.

I guess it's a bit difficult for some to understand with both indoor and outdoor in the title

 

[dirtsurfr]

Good answer! I didn't even look at the date.

ummmm, in the outdoor section of RIU?

ummmmm, where did anyone say anything about GROWING, indoor or out, before you resurrected a dead thread? maybe it's a bit difficult for some to read and comprehend a thread

looks to me like it is a thread about PRICES of indoor vs outdoor..

....if you're looking for outdoor growers, they are in the outdoor section

While I do see your point about the price and not actually growing(I was thinking more about satisfaction of indoor and out)...what's the big deal with one wanting information on a thread that hasn't seen any light in a few years? When it's all said and done, I'm just trying to gain as much knowledge as possible from growers more experienced then myself.

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

no big deal. all I said was the outdoor growers are in the outdoor section.

it's cool.

 

[poplars]
