To be more specific we must consider strains - many time plant populations that have grown in a specific environment for many generations are very suited to that environment (Usually homogeneous - less allele combination so a more stable species but when taken to a different climate can thrive/cause different changes. Also weather - hot climate - the bud might compensate by becoming airy and light. Indoors you can control many more of these environments. Now with Indoor - say you are like me and LOVE haze's . These tall plant are poorly suited to indoor, they need tons of light and can be unmanageable. To be honest I think people are more concerned with growing methodology - level of flush, correct nutrients, and the growing medium etc.. rather than setting. But that may just be me. More notes: For most it comes down to hydro/soil - Larger (at times more potent) bud vs better/smoother taste. Be even this is a misnomer - you can grow organic with hydro and produce WONDERFUL TASTING bud. It's really about getting things to optimum potency before it hits ripeness, and beings to degrade. peace, DigitalAlch
