Indoor vs Greenhouse vs Outdoor THCA
What each growing tier actually buys you
Indoor flower
Controlled climate, dense refined buds, loud terpenes — the premium tier, priced like it.
Greenhouse & outdoor flower
Sun-grown economics; less visual drama, chemistry that can test right alongside indoor.

The call
Indoor buys refinement — structure, trim, terpene loudness — and charges for every bit of it. Greenhouse is the rational middle: most of the quality at a friendlier per-gram price, and our usual value pick. Outdoor is the budget lane working as intended when it is priced like outdoor. Two facts keep the tiers honest: no COA verifies a tier label (it is a vendor claim riding on credibility), and chemistry ignores marketing — a greenhouse batch with a strong, batch-matched lab report beats an indoor batch with a recycled one at any price.
