I didn't exactly mean soil but yes that can be a pain too. I meant more like bugs, animals, rain, wind. Obviously you can still get bugs indoors. I just found a nice piece of land that I could guerilla grow on so I think I might do that this coming year. Veg a baby out to 2-3ft and then walk her out into the unknown

.
I also don't grow soil and have been doing RDWC and now a passive hydro system so I haven't tried much outdoor because of that as well. I just never had a good spot but now I might try it out. Two summers ago was perfect for a grow outside but this past summer was very wet so I'm hoping things will be nice this summer.
