Is outdoor farming outdated? Or is the technology ...

Being stupid,/philosophical, outdoor growing will always be an option for cheaper growing, and a change of pace, to indoor growers. I did it, cuz, 1 - Never did before, and 2 - Summer indoor grows are hard, due to cooling requirements. No AC in my house. I will see soon, whether my buds (quality) are any better/worse, once I harvest.

Growing outdoors is the best way to do it, and that will never ever change because 1. the sun's rays bring something special in their spectrum , there's something there that's not entirely possible to replicate with LEDs yet. 2. the soil, the wind, the bugs, all that for some reason i dont know why brings something to the terpene profile , it just tastes better for some reason. 3. it's basically free if you figure it out ... at the end of the day it's a matter of taste if you like outdoor bud better or not, i do , some dont, but outdoors is just as relevant as it ever was. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Depends entirely on climate

Depends on your geographical location, and how uch money you put into an indoors grow. I mean.. Where I live, it's not hard to get a better yield indoors than outdoors, simply because of the cold and wet climate.
