Light Club Indoor vs Sungrown

We must admit that it was a (really) long time after we started smoking marijuana before we took an interest in how it is created. We assumed that, like karma or electricity, it was the product of some complicated-but-actually-simple magic mastered and practiced by only the most powerful cosmic rulers of the galaxy. But over the years, some patient and knowledgebale budtenders have filled us in on the finer aspects of the growth cycle. That was never more apparent than after our visit to Medgo (3438 W 8th St, Los Angeles, CA 90005), where we decided to take their two rival pre-roll selections and throw them into the “Smoke-tagon” to see which one would be crowned the champion.

Two types of pre-rolls were available for our choosing — several strains of indoor bud, and a few packed with sungrown plant. We were unaware of the difference, so our budtender brought us up to speed.

In this case, it’s all about where the plant is actually grown. Indoor strains are — you guessed it — grown indoors, under heat lamps. This is what you see when most TV shows or movies portray some grand underground grow operation (i.e. Weeds, Pineapple Express, etc.). It’s our understanding that plants grown indoors are easier to maintain due to the regulation of water and light. It’s apparently easier and more cost-effective for young farmers to do this.

Sungrown plants are grown via sunlight, either outdoors or inside of a greenhouse. Here, the sun is the primary light source for the plant. We learned how to tell the difference, too. In order to do this, just look at the bud, itself. Plants with a rich green colors are often grown indoors, while sungrown plants usually carry a darker shade.

We selected one of each type: Cookie Glue for our indoor pick, and Skywalker to represent the sungrown flowers. Let’s spotlight these condenters a bit, shall we?
