Growing cannabis outdoors and indoors: pros and cons
Growers around the world are still arguing about where is the best place to grow marijuana. Some prefer indoors, others like outdoors. In this article, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each method so that you can choose the best option for yourself.
Features of growing indoors and outdoors
Indor allows growers to fully control all indicators: humidity, temperature, light conditions, etc. When threats appear, the gardener can quickly correct the situation and not worry about the crop. Due to the optimal parameters, the buds are larger and more powerful compared to the indoor ones.
The disadvantage of indoors is that LED lamps will not fully replace the sun. Therefore, inexperienced cannabis growers have a small crop, and the bushes themselves turn out to be “poor” and frail. Under natural conditions, the culture is less susceptible to ticks, since wasps and ants come to the defense. The appearance of a tick in the interior is fraught with a significant loss of crops, and agrochemicals are dangerous to human health in such conditions.
What is more profitable - closed or open ground
There will be associated costs in both cases. For growing indoors, you will need top dressing and hemp seeds; for outdoors, you also need to purchase equipment. The grower will also have to spend time watering, pruning and sanding. On the street, some of these functions are performed by nature, but indoors you can harvest 2-3 crops per year.
Is there a difference in quality
The quality and taste characteristics of the indore are many times higher than the out. The buds contain more THC and have an attractive appearance because they are not exposed to wind and heavy rain during flowering.
Conclusions about open and closed ground
Indore:
Harvest once a year;
The plant should be hidden among other crops or planted away from crowded places to maintain privacy;
The presence of a water source near the field;
Cultivation only in the area where the sun's rays fall;
A minimum of time spent on caring for a culture, since nature takes on many tasks;
Low cost item.
Outdoor:
Year-round cultivation;
Equipment purchase costs;
Time spent on care, regular monitoring of indicators is required;
High whimsical care in comparison with indoor, which is compensated by the greater power of the cones.
Each method has its pros and cons, so choose the option of your choice or combine both methods.
