Outdoor VS Indoor

[BritishColumbia]

Here we are again,after last years wet season I'm not to eager to get back out their.Only walked away with a 10 pack for all my troubles,10k ehhh....you see I run indoors from september-April and then I go outdoors prep may plant early June as my indoor room gets to hot in the summer,all in all I still would of made twice as much if I stayed in and that's what this is all about MONEY right?But to get to the point what's better indoors or outdoors....investment,time,work,risk ECT.....I mean for me i get 2k a P for indoor and 1k a P for outdoor now I got an 8 light 4800w indoor and I pull a 10 pack every time,with my veg room I'm able to get 6 crops a year..120k a year tax free minus 5/6k in expenses,my investment was around 10k.Now if One were to invest 10k outdoors you get get enough supplies to pull 200k easy.Pumps,irrigation,soil,nutes,clones ECT but as any outdoor grower knows theirs alot that can go wrong compared to indoors,here to crop 100 P's you would need to do a 1000 in early April or 2000 in june,8-10 plots easy,you would lose 1 or 2 easy.At the end of the day is outdoors better then indoors?

Hey BC,

Its not all about money for me. I enjoy being alone in the middle of know where. I enjoy the taste of outdoor that comes from the soil and sun and UV that cant be duplicated indoors.

No indoor grower anywhere, growing any strain under any indoor conditions has ever or ever will harvest 10 or more pounds from 4 or 5 plants nor will the indoor grower ever understand the true nature of the plant if it is only grown in artificial and unnatural enviroment. There are many many examples of this but a good one is the strain "Hashberry". If you read the description it talks about a short plant with compact growth. The truth is hashberry grows to 8 feet or more outdoors and " compact" is the last label one would put on it.

I think your making a classic mistake in growing,you got dollar signs in your eyes before your crop is even bagged up.you should be be more concerned with becoming a better grower and finding a strain suited to your needs.and start planting a heck of alot more because obviously 10 pounds is not enough for your situation. if you invest $10,000 in an outdoor crop you should be getting a lot more then 200k back.you could get that with $1500-2000 in supplies

Each situation is unique,as far a 2k for supplies lol.Where are you shopping police auctions?The drippers I use cost a buck each and at 2000 do the math,generator/1k,8 sub-pumps/1k,pro-mix hp/1k,clones/8k,hidden expenses/2k easy.Have you ever done a commercial before?Do you grow in b.c. where it rains all spring and the best outdoor fetches $1300 a P,not that I'm complaining as 6 monthes of probation for 1k a P is better then a couple a years in jail for 2k a P and as far as being concerned at being a better grower I'll keep that in mind lol.

in my outdoor area i could grow between 30-50 plants and easily get 100lbs.i did the math and its in the neighborhood of about $3200 for supplies and gas to get there.......im content with using this spot for 8-15 plants tho, im gambling that the choppers that fly it wont bother with a small plot like that when the entire mountain range is known for the 2000-10000 plant grows(busts) made famous by our southern neighbors.

If they find my plants outdoors they don't seize my house and everything else I own.

Plus, nothing beats the sun and outdoors you get larger yields and denser buds. Gotta' love it.

I'll second this sentiment. Not to take a jab at ya, but just to let you know what you'll likely learn after a few seasons of experience out there.

Money or not, be sure you find ways to ENJOY it, because there is nothing like growing outdoors, being outdoors, cooperating with nature to care for your plants.

That said, I would also argue that a grower who had never grown indoors is also missing out on a very valuable experience and lessons learned about your plants and what they need. You are able to sit with your plants and observe them far more closely indoors than you ever can outdoors. Indoor growing is a valuable thing to have under your belt.

Good luck out there everybody.

I’m all over this one. I agree if I did not love the outdoors this hobby would have been over years ago. If I were “in this” for the money first I would not still be “in this”. There is too much failure in the beginning to call it a financial decision.

You have to love your work to be an outdoor grower year after year.

PEACE

outdoors is much more of a gamble, plain and simple but threre's nothing like it .

I'd love to have an outdoor grow this year...but it's a crap shoot at best because of our climate.

You're lucky to get plants in by June 1st here. Mid June is much safer...and it can snow in mid September...or be cold and frost heavily.

I have some bag seed from the Sacremento area. I'd really like to try a outdoor grow here. Maybe I'll try it. Nothing much lost if it doesn't go well.

Here we are again,after last years wet season I'm not to eager to get back out their.Only walked away with a 10 pack for all my troubles,10k ehhh....you see I run indoors from september-April and then I go outdoors prep may plant early June as my indoor room gets to hot in the summer,all in all I still would of made twice as much if I stayed in and that's what this is all about MONEY right?But to get to the point what's better indoors or outdoors....investment,time,work,risk ECT.....I mean for me i get 2k a P for indoor and 1k a P for outdoor now I got an 8 light 4800w indoor and I pull a 10 pack every time,with my veg room I'm able to get 6 crops a year..120k a year tax free minus 5/6k in expenses,my investment was around 10k.Now if One were to invest 10k outdoors you get get enough supplies to pull 200k easy.Pumps,irrigation,soil,nutes,clones ECT but as any outdoor grower knows theirs alot that can go wrong compared to indoors,here to crop 100 P's you would need to do a 1000 in early April or 2000 in june,8-10 plots easy,you would lose 1 or 2 easy.At the end of the day is outdoors better then indoors?

not to be a jerk........but it sounds like you care a bit too much about the cash and haven't taken time to learn enough about the plant.

even at 2 O's per plant, you should be getting 100 p's if you have 6-100plant plots and lose 1.

Maybe you're investing too much in equipment when really you could potentially do better with an auger, some water crystals, and some time release ferts.

Maybe, when you seem to be just trying to throw money at the situation in the form of irrigation systems and other things, you just need to be willing to do a little more backbreaking work to reach your goals. Try native soil with a dry mix. Try using strategically placed rain collectors (tarps and barrels, buried reservoirs, etc) during pre-season to get water near your plots so you can handwater without such a hike.

enough equipment/materials for 1000 plants should cost less than $2000. As for price of clones; why not use your indoor setup to kick out a few prior to your outdoor season? seems that a 1kw would provide all the light you'd need for moms and then the same light could be used to kick out all the clones you need.

The negative factors of outdoor grows can be negated pretty quickly by some smart plant spacing and high numbers. Obviously, budgeting for failure is part of the OD planning process.

If money is your only motivating factor, why not try another line of work? There are lots of professions out there that can net you the cash you desire if you're willing to put in a bit of time and effort training for them.

etcetera is abreviated etc, not ECT

High financial goals are rarely achieved without hard work or high risk.

Also, if you don't already know a person who will buy it all in bulk theres no money in it.

Thats the reason I don't sell anything, I don't know anyone who would but it all.
