ABCs of growing weed in the indoor vs outdoor. 【Pros & Cons】
Growing weed is one of the great pastimes of the marijuana community, and for a good reason.
It’s a fun, relaxing hobby that allows you to control a lot of the quality of your cannabis. Many people talk about growing weed as an indoor or outdoor activity, but they don’t usually get too much detail.
Growing inside has advantages, and so does growing outside, but which is better? In this article, we’ll get into it.
How to grow the weed
Every plant needs a few things to grow: light, water and nutrients. Cannabis is no different. When you grow weed indoors versus outdoors, none of these elements will be able to occur without your help naturally. So, you’ll need to give your plants the right amount of each element to thrive for either method.
Growing marijuana indoors requires a warm, humid space. If you’re growing in a basement or attic, it must be insulated, and humidity should be controlled. Also, there must be good air circulation to prevent mould.
Tending to the growing plants is labour intensive. You need to provide light for them at least 12 hours a day and monitor their water needs. Pruning, fertilizing and trimming are also part of the routine.
When growing marijuana outdoors, you’ll need to protect it from animals, insects and other environmental conditions that might harm your crop. Weed needs lots of sunlight to thrive in nature, but too much can cause it to dry out, so you also have to protect it from exposure with netting or a screen.
Difference between indoor and outdoor growing
Let’s talk about the difference between indoor and outdoor weed growing.
Indoor growing:
Indoor growing is growing weeds in a controlled environment. It’s often done by using a special “grow kit” that includes everything you need to grow your plants, including a tent, powerful lights, and even fans to keep them cool. The main benefit of this approach is that you can control every aspect of your growing conditions, which means you’ll have more power over the results. This also means you’ll be less vulnerable to weather disasters, pests, and other factors that could mess up your grow. However, it also means that you’ll need some room for the entire setup, which can take up quite a bit of space (especially if you’re planning on cultivating more than one plant).
Outdoor growing:
Outdoor growing is when people plant their weed plants outside in the ground or pots. This means that they don’t have to worry about setting up a grow tent or having enough space for it—all they have to do is find a sunny spot and wait for their buds to mature! However, this method comes with its own set of challenges as well. For example, if it rains too much in your area during the summer months (like most places), this could cause mouldy buds on your plants that are difficult to deal with later on down the line.
