Well, I also have a wife and kids. Besides living in suburbia hell now. If I was still in southern California, or even South Carolina, that would be an option. I grew in my back yard there a few times. Getting busted is not an option for me. Even though I grow only for medicinal use.
Like I said, if you have native seeds, they will grow on their own with little to no maintenance. Native seeds are already genetically predisposed to soil, light and temperature. These pure strains make outdoor cultivation easy and semi-consistent.
Doing this in the U.S. is only possible in a few areas where some strains are still pure, or have been bred from native plants, such as northern California and Washington state.
Planting outdoors with various strains with unknown genetic traits can be a disaster. Indoors you can control everything. So with todays seed availability, and for stealth, indoors is definitely better in my opinion.
But in other countries and other parts of the U.S. the pheno's are so tight to the region, from being bred year after year, the yield and potency can be amazing. Of course I have seen warehouses with 30' ceilings get plants up to 8 feet indoors in soil in California.
But the whole point was that outdoor light, humidity and temperature, with the proper strain, will almost certainly have better traits then the same strain indoors. In "Better traits, I include chemical content, metal content (I am allergic to base metals) taste, potency, aroma, and all that stuff.
I am by no means an expert on any of this stuff. But genetic traits of human, animals and plants are more of less the same. They adapt to their environment. If you plant Ice Queen outdoors in Southern California, chances are you will fail. Plant it in Canada, you may have a beautiful plant. But if it could be planted where the original strain came from, it would be more amazing then it already is.
Peace
I give up, too much typing :-0

Do you think it would be a waste if I was to use for example two 1000 watt enhanced spectrum HPS with two 400 watt enhanced red spectrum metal halides in a 8ftX8ft for nice hard tight but large buds? Instead off three 1000 watters,considering heat,power,and what ever else might make it more difficult to control enviroment efficiently for great big and tight buds.
I did not mean to hijack a thread.I was reading a comment by Madame Crash about the blue spectrum during flowering,plus I finallly found someone"gno111" that asked a question about tightness I would've asked, heir-go the excitement of this thread got me all hyper.Sorry bout that. Hey kickstart,I know More light tghter buds,but does mixing in alot of blue with the larger amount being red make it any easier to get the buds tight yet big,assuming nutes and water are right?
