Outdoor potency

Nick12

I want to ask if there are strains which thrive outdoors more and get more potent even if it's not more potent on the paper? For example, og kush will be hitting stronger than Red Hot Cookies.

1) You need good seeds from a well known breeder. 2) Is mandatory to have a good enviroment and select the strains based on this, Outdoors I always use tex-pot for better airflow and temperature of the roots. 3) Use a compatible micorrizhae and bacteria product for your grow medium to increase yields and protect roots from pathogens. 4) Check PH and EC levels, PH for nutrient uptake and EC to know how much add everytime, you can check the run off to guess the EC for the next watering. 5) Use a good line of nutrients or if you prefer to mix them, please use the EC meter everytime you add a product to check the dosages you will need till you get your own table based on your experience. 6) And last but not less important, the drying process and cure is CRITICAL to preserve all the compounds and terpenes. And I think thats all, if you can do this I guarantee you that any strain you grow is going to be a good journey, some times with more or less production based on strain but with high quality buds.

Genetics are genetics...........nothing magical happens depending on where you grow them..............however, outdoor plants grown in sunlight have something "special" about them because that is how they are meant to grow and no matter what lights you use, NOTHING can match natural sunlight.........it has EVERYTHING the plant needs and produces better buds than any indoor strain IF grown properly.

Different conditions can bring out different things in plants. Better is up for debate, depends what you want. Is a sports car better than a 4x4? If you live in town, maybe the sports car is great, but if you live somewhere rural, a 4x4 might be better. I have grown a strawberry banana clone I got from a friend and grew it outdoor and he grew the mother indoor. His report was that mine was much sweeter and more flavorful... but there are tonnes of variables and we didn't do any tests. Personally I prefer what I get from sun grown, because it affects the plant in a way that suits what I like and want to do with it.
