I don't see why anyone would grow them indoors really The trick to getting them raged outdoors is a lot of sun and aggressive feeding with supercropping when they are really young- I mean as soon as you get the lateral growth going in a ball- it should be ready to super crop, you want to break all the branches at once. You can really only do this once though because they flower so quick. I noticed they can take a lot more abuse early on for some reason, probably because they don't have a photo cycle. They even handle the wind outdoors better imo. Plant early May here on the west coast will get you an end of July harvest.
What I mean about aggressive feeding is. Once germinated indoors it should go outdoors asap with a cup to protect it from the wind. Then let it root for a couple of days. Around day 5 it should be raging and you can start whatever secrets you have up your sleeve. You can pretty much double those up. Autos are tanks I believe because they don't have the stress of a day night cycle. Just my opinion though compared to the other strains I've grown. Early may is pushing it with non-autos because they could flower. I wouldn't grow autos indoors for a long period and move them outdoors- you get most of your growth from the sun. Nothing beats the sun. I don't care what anyone says about that. It's just not the same, indoor and outdoors are two different worlds when it comes to growth and manipulating growth Maybe if they made a light with a full ultraviolet spectrum, but even then it's still just talk, the sun is what the plants want.
Crazy laws are so annoying.. Spend hundreds a month on power just for small yields.
