Outdoor

Outdoor

Almost all the plants in the world – including cannabis – can be grown either outdoor, or indoor. The difference is obvious: indoor growing means having the plants inside the flat, house, or simply in a growbox without any access to sunlight; whereas growing outdoor means having the plants out in the open: in the field, garden, or simply in a pot on the terrace – just about everywhere where the sun shines.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Growing outdoor is inexpensive and it does not require any special equipment compared to indoor grows. Outdoor plants can become large and yield huge harvests; there are no electricity bills, because the sun and wind is free; and last but not least it is a more natural, ecological and sustainable way of growing. However, there are some serious limitations: plants are vulnerable to thieves, wild animals (especially in early stages of growth) – and the worst – law enforcement in places where it is illegal to grow. Also, outdoor growing usually yields less potent flowers in terms of cannabinoids content – but that is not a rule, it always depends on the particular grower, genetics, quality of soil etc. Still, many growers swear by growing outdoors and believe that the sunlight is superior to artificial lights.
