Reply to comment by epelle9 in Researchers find that outdoor cannabis can "express more cannabinoids with potentially desirable bioactivity" compared to cannabis cultivated indoors under artificial lights. by OregonTripleBeam

Except you then don’t know if it was actually outdoors that led to this or say the nutrient mix lacking some ingredient in the indoor mix.

It’s useless data.

Well, no studies are perfect, but if thats the soil they are grown when sold, it makes sense to compare them that way, and is definitely useful data.

Then those differences should be explicitly pointed out in the materials and methods as well as how they affect the results in the discussion.

There are a lot of proprietary soil mixes and nutrient/fertilizer regimes. Without this knowledge it is impossible for other groups to repeat this work. As such, the data has some use but is lacking enough detail to be less than definite.
