@GrouchyOldMan you are intuitive, as that is EXACTLY where my future endeavors will concentrate.
If all goes more/less to plan, after this summer I will have enough head stash squirreled away so that I can afford to only grow between September and May, when the Tent is viable. That gives me 9 months to produce 1lb/yr of cured smoke, maybe 3-6 plants (depending on yield) every 9 months. I think that is certainly doable.The only thing I lack is to either buy a 2nd dehumidifier, or battle with my wife to take mine back out of the kitchen and outside of the summer months she probably wont care.
Yes, my roots are in hydro from way back in the day. My career has been in Instrumentation and Process Control which certainly applies to the this. The ability to control an environment is very appealing to me. Then, if something goes wrong, it is usually my fault, and I will learn and will strive to not repeat. I have seen hydro produce some fantastic results and I aspire likewise.
The main aspect of indoor vs outdoor “for me”, is that with indoor I have far fewer hazards than I do outdoors. Eliminating hazards seems worthwhile. For example, the graph in my previous post shows that outside (green line) vs the Tent (blue), the total time spent in the sweet pot was better for the BLUE, and really could have been perfect if I upgraded equipment. Outside there is not a lot you can do when conditions get real nasty.
I feel like the main goal is just to keep things in the sweet spot, that seems a lot easier to accomplish indoors, as Mother Nature can be a wildcard.
