artificial light/indoors growing Vs. nartural light/outdoor gronwing
I though it would be interesting to start a thread that discusses the pros and cons of growing neps under artificial lights/indoor growing Vs. growing neps outside under natural light. I know this has probably been discussed on many occasions but I have never seen a side by side comparison. For example:
Artificial light/indoor growing
Pros:
more control of parameters (temp, humidity, etc.)
intense coloration
light is assured and constant (unless power goes out)
cons:
costs money
heat emission
imitating the sun can be even more expensive
outdoors/natural light
Pros:
high quiality light
good coloration in bright light
induces better flowering
free
cons:
may cause leaf burn
more exposure to outdoor pests
dpendance on climate/weather (i.e. cloudy/rainy day, no bright light)
Are there any intense differences??? Size? Health? Growing behavior? Antyhing else worth noting?
I know these are probably just vague examples, but that is why I want to make of this a topic of conversation. I would really love to hear from others who have had far more experience with both methods, or well, far more experience with one of the two. I know there are probably many more reasons, both from personal experience, as well as from hard facts. I also have always wanted to see a side by side comparison, as well as a pros and cons list for both these methods. I have tried many resources to find such a th
