Let’s start off small. So you want to grow marijuana for various reasons whatever they are, where do you start? Do you go indoor, do you go outdoor, what’s the major differences. Here is a short brief to help you make an informed decision.
Outdoor Growing
The best way to grow marijuana is outdoors, making use of nature’s natural elements and nutrients. While indoor allows a grower more control over what their plants do, the natural elements top that of any nutrient or light. Growing outdoor has pros as well as cons. One pros is size, you’re able to grow bigger plants and still keep the strong potency of the strain you are growing.This is because the sun’s rays are able to photosynthesis all the way to the root of the plant easily compared to indoor, they also have a lot more rays of light, that we are unable to replicate yet. This is the life of all plants. Imagine it as the soul of any grow operation. Without this there is no life.
While outdoor growing opens you up to more chance of having to deal with pests as well as unwanted attention, it also comes with less issues such as mold and the natural elements help with pest control. Pest control indoor and outdoor is the same. What you should find is less issues with your crop provided your lady is no where near a male. You will find that growing outdoor is a lot easier compared to growing indoor.
A problem with outdoor is just as the natural elements are good for the plant, they can also be bad. Your crop is open to weather elements such as hail, excessive rain, etc. This can obviously put a damper on things. Especially when it’s been growing for a while. This is why we suggest planting in a portable pot.
Overall outdoor growing takes less of your time and more of you patience.
Indoor growing
Growing indoor is basically us trying to replicate the natural elements needed to grow marijuana. Everything is the same except you have lights to replicate the various rays plants receive from the sun, and then you need to ensure your plants are receiving carbon dioxide efficiently. That’s where the fans and extractor fans come in.
Growing indoor allows growers to experiment more, by changing up the elements and amounts thereof, plants grow differently. Researching this to see the different effects on plants THC and CBD levels will be crucial as we move forward with marijuana as a medicine.
While most people will say that indoor makes them higher, this is not in fact, fact. Outdoor has the ability to have more yield than indoor, if left to grow and flower naturally over its intended time span using the natural elements. While indoor is currently leading the potency race, we should see this start to fade out as more people are able to grow freely.
Research into indoor growing is still relatively new but is not short of enthusiastic researchers. There is still a lot to learn about indoor growing, as the green rush commences it will be interesting to see what research brings from this method of growing.
Indoor growing over all requires small amounts of patience and takes a lot of your time.
