No way I believe that it yields better indoors….no strain yields better indoors, unless you don’t know how to grow outdoors. What I would believe is that terp profile is likely to be better indoors due to better temp regulation.
I won a competition in 2005 through a reputable magazine, they feminised some seed for the comp from purple Urkle as it is a clone only strain, I was the first in my country to have it and it didn’t disappoint, grew 20+ oz outdoors in a greenhouse and loved the indoors, the smell was the hardest thing to mask, boy she smells but the smoke, awesome to say the least, I feminised my own seed stock from the clones I had cause I only won 10 seeds, I still have her to this day and it’s my number one
