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 Last edited by Pananep; 25th October 2008 at 10:48 PM. |
