Welcome to both The Dude and to sidsmoker, I regards to your question about the autos like think different and Auto X doing better inside compared to outside, I would say it has to do with light exposure time. An auto getting 20 hrs of light per day should be able to metabolize alot more than a plant that is outside, maybe getting 14-16 hrs per day, without counting for clouds etc...therefore growing more. I have seen some TD threads that were grow outside, and they looked nothing like any of the TD's grown inside. They were nice, but not mosterous. Hope this helps
