RE: How Different Growing Methods Affect Your Cannabis - Dr. Emily Earlenbaugh

You could mention that growers also combine all these methods together. Some call it flip flop organic growing.

Start outside in the spring, keep plants in the ground for vegetation, then move them indoors to flower under controlled environments.

The flavors will have a natural evolution to the terpenes over the months as the seasons change.

Funny, I would say the exact opposite about this:

• start indoors under 24 hour light, using passive hydropics for ultra-fast germination in rockwool.
• transplant to larger RW cubes, avoiding any transplant shock in the process.
• once 24" high, just take them outside to the greenhouse. Free sunshine does the rest, still protected from bugs. Any plastic covered tool shed, pump house, or other innocuous fixture in your garden does the trick, just needs full sun all day if possible.
• I can get full clone (no germination) to mature buds, in 3.5 months this way; 6 weeks indoors, 8 weeks outdoors.

@phusionphil @surfyogi @myroadtours @sieses @mateushism So true - there are many ways to combine the different methods of growing that can yield incredible results. And environmentally friendly ways to modify indoor grows like using energy efficient lighting.

Indeed, starting them under normal outside conditions, en then bring them indoors works good you get strong plants, only down side is the pests you might bring indoors and then they to love the indoors so your problem wil be multiplied if you dont watch out.
Also stress could be a dowside, some strains do not like sudden changes in environment.

Yeah pests are the lamest part of outdoor. This plant is also one of the most effect ways to loosen up clay, it will grow anywhere if you just want to let it veg aa a plant

I once started inside to spruit. then let them grow outdoor, and the last few weeks indoor.
