Nobody grows outdoors??

Cool,I'm doing Mimosa/Orange Punch this season,looks good,I've done outdoor for over 30 yrs.,now that the market in MA is saturated it's the only reasonable thing that makes sense economically,It's a lot of work,I grow about 15 strains in pots and clone the bottom half/2/3 of the moms,always plan on just keeping clones but just can't do it(always end up keeping the moms).Only thing is I wish outdoor had the frost monster (crystal trichome)look of indoor but weather always knocks it down a notch.That said outdoor has a couple month longer life cycle which may lead to more complex smoke,the idea of "vegging" 2-4 wks then flipping to flower STILL feels foreign to me, I freely admit indoor wins a beauty contest but what about "character" and a long lived "natural" life for the plant,just wish a "perfect weather" button existed the last 2-3 weeks before chop.
I have several threads going they started inside but are all outside now and have been fir over a month
Sour Vengeance, Panama Red, King Kandy all outside. Panama Red not liking the weather… they will adapt.
1st Photo looks similar to my potted moms w/ the bottom half branches removed and cloned, even have the 10/10 shelter,though wind can send that sucker airborne,one yr. after harvest I got lazy and left it out,and before I could get to it a Nor'easter destroyed the FKN thing.
22 plants all outside. The reachet ones are PR… lol. We had high winds a few days ago and they are in shock right now. They will look better in a week or 2. King Kandy seeds to be the heartiest strain. It has been out the longest and has had time to adapt. The Sour Vengeance I was gifted as testers to grow them out, and make a grow journal on X. I also have it here. PR just got out on Easter. Not adjusted yet. They will figure it out. I always have my summer grow out by April 1st. I usually start them end of Feb or 1st week of March. This year I started them in Jan.
Those are beautiful! I wish I could put mine in the ground. Too many animals.

I decided to only keep the last 8 inches of so of the best branches to smoke. After drying I bucked the rest right into large grove bags without trimming to wash.
Only trimmed the best.
That's how I'm handling it being only1 man.

Definitely not in the highly illegal areas
, a lot of people here have taken the risk of growing whole acres of highly smelly skunk type indicas and not only did they get caught, but worse 
.... Not to mention that more than a few years ago if you got caught with even just one joint, you'd be sentenced to at least 6 years in prison. And not very friendly prisons here either.... Rather hellish... Now things are a little bit more chill, as the younger generations fight for legalization and even ones in the government as well.... Mine is luckily a low odor Sativa dominant Hybrid and I would still never risk the outdoors....
May to about October
