This may seem like a dumb question, but let's think about this.
Why do outdoor plants grow so frickin' HUGE compared to indoor plants?
My guess is that natural sunlight kicks the shit out of anything we can make with HIDs, CFLs, or LEDs, no matter how much scientific wavelength / lumen / par value BS we tell ourselves.
Indoor and outdoor plants can be nuted the same, grown in the same mediums, use the same size pots, etc.
But I see grows like dirtfarmers and others, and I just have to wonder, is the natural sunlight the ONLY factor we cannot control, or is there more to it than that? I imagine that airflow may play a part, but we can always put lots of fans in an indoor room.
I've seen photos of indoor rooms using many 1000 watt HPS bulbs, and the plants are nowhere near as big as some outdoor grows I've seen.
