Yeah but you can control so many more variables by growing indoors.

This study didn’t even bother controlling one of the few variables they could and that make a massive difference. The soil media is completely different indoor vs outdoor. That’s not a minor fuckup. There’s really no justification not to control for that. Give both plants the same soil composition.

The title is misleading without mentioning that. It’s like studying how different types of exercises lead to more or less muscle mass gain among two groups, but forgetting to mention group A gets workout supplements and group B ate only potatoes the whole time. Bad science.

Well, if outdoor plants optimally grow in some type of soil, but indoor plants optimally grow in another type, then it makes sense comparing both optimal growths.

Otherwise, you’d have to compare them when grown in soil that benefits one type.

Its kinda like trying to compare Brazilian MMA fighters vs Thai MMA fighters and then saying the comparison is invalid because they ise different styles, well obviously Brazilians use BJJ but Thais use Muay Thai..

I don’t think this is a surprise to anyone, if a grower wanted these specific alkaloids rather than THC/CBD they would adjust conditions to suit.

I don't think we even have figured out all the different cannabinoids yet so don't bet on that just yet. We also are only now just starting to understand study the endocannabinoid systems in humans.
