​​​​​​​​​​​​​Grow it yourself: indoor vs. outdoor

The discussion about indoor or outdoor growing has been going on for years. Both options have advantages and disadvantages, so we summed it up for you.  

Indoor growing 

A big advantage of growing indoors is that you control the climate. The temperature, humidity: it can all be precisely determined. For indoor growers there is no risk of bad weather (and therefore a ruined harvest) and you can grow all year round. 

One disadvantage of growing indoors is the lack of sunlight. No matter how good growing lamps are these days, nothing can beat the power of the sun. Indoor plants are also often a bit smaller and of course the cost of the required energy is high.

Growing outdoors 

One of the things you should really like out for, is that when growing outdoors plants are more prone to disease. At the same time nature gives them a hand: ants, ladybirds and wasps chase away mites and other pests that can ruin outdoor growing. 

In short, when growing weed indoors you produce (often) smaller plates at higher costs, but you do have more control on the growing process. Outdoors your plants grow higher and it’s a lot more green because you don’t use as much energy, but bad weather or pests can (partly) ruin your plants.
