i have heard they do...soooooo
do they? its been about 2 weeks and my plants are already showing some red/pinkish hairs and even 1 completely amber hair, it looks amazing

this leads to a more "scientific" question

no day ever has the same amount of day light its always going up or down
for the north its going down right now....i guess we all kno that

EXAMPLE
so today the sun goes down at 8 15
tomorrow it goes down at 8 12

what if u transferred this into indoor growing? every week lowering your daylight by 10 mins?
in 6 weeks your light cycle is an hour shorter 11 hours light. 13 hours dark

this would immitate the outdoors even more.
so if my first question about flowering outdoors is correct would immitating the outdoors time cycle flower indoor plants quicker?

Well, here goes my best shot at an intelligent repsonse.
Ive grown about 6 years outside and 3 years in. Alot of what I put outside are clones of what I grow inside. It seems to me that the plant finishes quite a bit faster inside.
Outside the plant can spend a month or more in preflower. That is, showing sex but not budding out yet. Inside you go from 18 hours light to 12. That shocks em into flower and they spend almost no time in preflower. The exception to the rule is a stressed outdoor plant. A stressed plant, (you name the problem, heat, bound up roots, underwatering) can really finish fast. Sometimes a stressed outdoor plant will finish 2 to 3 weeks ahead of it sister clones.
This could be the cause of your gold medal sprinter, or you could have a fast finish phenome.
Either way, it is probly the exception and not the rule.
So in my opinion, it is best to go to a 12/12 or 11/13 and leave it there for indoor growing.

I grow indoors and out. Most people want the indoor, and swear it's better, but it just looks better. The true heads report time and time again the outdoor bud is more potent, tastier, and smoother.

Honestly I think most people don't even think about if it is grown indoors or outdoors.....most never question or think about it. Also Ive seen some outdoor purple that looked indoor and ive seen some funky indoor that looked outdoor. I really dont think the average joe questions it and just wants to get baked.

Unless you are a millionaire the suns the best (depending what region you are in) for growing in dirt.

Here's my opinion on why goldenchips plants were growing faster indoors. You said that you only put clones outdoors, clones are known to grow a small percentage slower, each time you clone. You cant clone a clone from a clone from a clone from a clone, because you will get a shit plant (not saying this is what you are doing). So if you have a plant and you clone it, that clone is going to be the same genetics. If you had the exact records of how long another plant of the same genetics (not a clone) took to flower, you would notice that the clone flowers a small percentage slower (not always true, but most of the time). You can grow faster indoors because you can give plants fake sunlight hours of 18/6 and 24/0, to bad this lighting is only real in polar regions :(, where your plants would die in a split second. If you put a plant, right when the years lighting change to around the same hours of light and dark (12/12), your plant is going to (most of the time) grow faster outside under the sun than the plants under your fancy lighting system. :)

Please let me know if anyone disagrees :).

What you say goes against thirty years of gardening beliefs of mine but I'm not an expert on mj or any other plant for that matter but I do attend seminars on a regular basis. Not sure why a mj clone is different from an apple tree?

i think its more with importing/exporting larger quatnities that people start to care. and from my experience, people who purchase large quantities for further distibution always prefer the indoor, but its only becuase they have no idea what theyre talking about, no matter what the outdoor looks like taste like or smells or smokes they always want indoor, beats me why but thats usually the case, at least with my personal experience.

probably becus indoors, the smell is more potent due to no rain falling on the buds during harvest time or other random issues like that. i grew outdoors last year and it stunk so bad man. guess its the preference but u cant make sunlight inside. sunlight inside would make indoors better completely. unelss u grow outdoors and u then put your plant in a shed or something to keep the morning dew off of it.
