PublicEnemySkier,
that really isn't a very educated statement. Discouraging a person from growing a plant outdoors is absurd. Some of the best cannabis is grown outdoors. Any pure sativa or extremely sativa dominant plant, is more than likely been grown outdoors, given their long flowering time, extreme height , and some what lower yield compared to indicas.
But maybe your right, all that bud grown in Jamaica must smoke like grass clippings. They must know nothing about good bud, also a large percentage of the medical bud from Cali is grown outdoors, as well as Amsterdam outdoor grows.
If I were you, I would consider maybe learning about the plant before you shoot someone down. I will agree that there may be a few more factors in growing outdoors, and risks; such as , bugs, weather, deer, hikers/hunters/feds. And all bud is going to smoke poorly if not cured correctly, thats the easiest way to tell if it's commercial or not. Commercial growers generally don't give a shit about how it burns or taste, just that it's heavy and somewhat stoney.
