Light Deprivation Technique

[Sammi11]

So I just read the new article on light deprivation and how to get more outdoor grows per season. So far I have only done indoor, but Im curious. So my question is, by flowering in june or july wont the buds be airy and not the best quality due to the high heat?

Welcome Sam, I would guess it depends on where you live, but bright summer sun pounding on em ain't a bad thing.

Fans, evaporative coolers, raw A/C sun is mainly light you can directly manage heat, especially if you have a light dep enclosure.

In North CA summer heat is mild and inconsistent. Only lasts a few hours per day. Anytime you grow outdoors, you have to be considerate of weather. Not just heat.

Growing outside is easy, just a different set of peramateurs. Once learned it’s better than indoors imo +++ free SUN!!! My outdoor grows reach 12ft. Or more after topping and supercroping 😎

Free sun is great. From a commercial standpoint, I think OD is superior. Now mind you I have only tried this in CA where the weather is typically better than rest of the country.
For medical purposes, ID is necessary. Only real way to completely control the environment. Some people (in the medical community) with weakened immune systems should not even attempt smoking OD stuff. It could kill them.

Their are som exceptions for every rule of corse, but if washed as a should b after the chop, What’s the difference OD or ID?
people with problems your describing shouldn’t smoke anyway imo. RSO comes to mind as well as tinctures 👍

Processing doesn’t guerentee mold free or pest poop free. Not worth risking life.
Hate to tell you, there are some very experienced growers on here that have this condition. They grow their own and have no issues. So why exactly shouldn’t they get to enjoy smoking it? Eating it or absorbing through the skin doesn’t guarantee safety either.

I’m very curious as to what malate or sickness causes DEATH BY POT ? And I did say thay shouldn’t smoke, as there doctors did I’m sure !
Like peanut allergies som react more severely than Others, if I react poorly to something I ate drank or smoked I wouldn’t do it again would U ? I’m done with this.......

Lol. It’s not the OD pot alone... like I said a compromised immune system is what is dangerous. But OD weed is exposed to mold spores (amoung other things) which can cause illness or worse in that case. It’s not the pot... but what can come with it.
I’m not trying to have an argument on line here... I was just saying what works for you, might not work for everyone else.
