I totally agree with you, my Nl from last year looked great. Even better than some of the indoor stuff that pops up around here now. I think indoors there exists a higher potential for perfection as it gives you more control over the environment. No rain, bugs, dust, or foreign plant material, etc. to taint those precious buds. Not that it can't be just as good or even better under good conditions grown outside.
Hey friend to you mind if I ask were your NL come from?? I've just got the Auto Flowering one....Im gonna have to put her outside. Maybe move her around to get more sunlight. I'm not fimilar with these Autos, but I think they call for like a 20 hours of light and 4 off, I might be wrong that's what I'd thought though. I'm gonna go transplant that NL to a 5gal bucket and probably ease her outside as it seems drier and sunnier. The other plants are some Burning Man clones and that Key Lime x Dos. I'm afraid will start flowering. My plans was for the 20gal tote for the Key Lime x Dos, and maybe some 10gal grow bags I'll put a few Burning Man in. Those Key Lime x Dos were getting huge in 5gal buckets last year. Those old girls should explode in 20 gal!!!! Just a update as I'm finally seeing some of what I'm gonna do outdoors this season. I've still not ruled out a guerilla spot or possibly pressing my luck with the old one that I mentioned a guy telling me he'd grew some up there a few yrs ago. Glad it was dark when he told me or my face would've gave it away lol. I just told him it's way to far to carry water, which it is. I'll use water crystals if I'm guerilla growing anything......which is still 50/50 and I'm leaning to just containers. It's a lot of work guerilla growing. I'm better off just running indoors and skipping the guerilla growing. Most all my weight comes from container plants anyway. It's just fun trying to pull off a guerilla grow!!!!
