Plants will mature in cold weather here's South African kwazulu In NJ at 40 N pictured an November 1 with low temp down to 37 and highs at 60. I had Himalayan plants out this year later down to 27

Seems like its always half a dozen of this and 6 of the other..

IMO: Outdoor you are subject to Mother Nature's Fickle Finger of Fate. Indoor you are god in control. Outdoor the sun is free while indoor electricity is costly now. Outdoor I can grow 'em as big as I want. Indoor space is at a premium. Outdoor there are issues of security. Indoor produces the most photogenic flowers... etc etc

Personally, I prefer outdoor-organic-sun grown buds.. OTOH, I know some peeps that rather have that indoor hydro taste..

Hi dudez...the sun is the most complete light we can use.. the earth is the largest pot we have. There the vegetable can grow to its maximum development. Obviously outdoors is better however if we are not in places where there is always sun. indoors you're in charge...always...but.....

I have also noticed with the newer breed of strains, they don't seem to do as well out doors as the older strains. I feel like recent breeding has been focused more on terpene and trichome production, which isn't as viable outdoors given the environmental variables.

This is an interesting observation.

Having made a few seeds outdoors in the distant past, I think one factor could be much of what we "bred" for next year's outdoor came from outdoor selections and successful crosses from previous years. Not to mention alot of what we started with for seeds came from stock that somebody else had already grown and done well with outdoors.

That whole acclimated, born and bred outdoors thing. We were more likely to pop spring seeds from seed moms that performed well in previous years etc. Also, the emphasis wasn't always about "high thc", the weed "worked" or it didn't. If it "worked" real well (heeeey that's some good shit) and grew real well, we grew more of that next year.


(stoner equation time) "Observant Guerrilla breeding" + hybrid vigor + a little luck = higher outdoor hardiness

@ Captain Red Eye,I think what you're describing is what most guerrilla growers did during the prohibition days. For many, seeds were limited and environments were limiting. That being the case, many gems were created or adapted.
I've always found it easier and certainly more productive to adapt outdoor strains to indoors, then vice versa. I'm curious how strains originally reproduced outdoors but since reproduced indoors for several generations would do outdoors again. Anyone have experience with that scenario?
