Step 1:

Outside or Inside?

The first decision we must make is what growing style we are going to adopt.
1) It can be grown outdoors, as long as the climate is warm and there is a minimum of 8 hours of sun per day.
2) Indoor cultivation can be a 24/7/365 cycle.
3) The outdoor growing season, in our tropical climate, can be carried out throughout the year with the correct varieties.
4) Outside, since our light cycle is 12/12 all year, we can use supplemental light to prolong the vegetative state of our plants.
5) You can keep a plant in a vegetative state outdoors if you make sure to give it 4-6 hours of extra light after dark.
6) Growing indoors allows the grower to control the light cycle.
