A grow trial where the same strain is cultivated simultaneously in a fully open-air outdoor environment and inside a greenhouse structure to compare yield, disease resistance, and bud quality.
A major theme of the episode. Dakota found the open-air outdoor Smackdown and Banana Biscotti produced bigger, frostier, mold-free buds compared to their greenhouse counterparts which showed some powdery mildew and smaller production. Less airflow and reduced direct sunlight in the greenhouse were cited as likely causes.
