Natural Light Indoor?

Is it possible, when doing an indoor organic grow to only use natural light?

I have my babies sitting on a windowsill for part of the day, and they seem to like that as much (if not more than) sitting in the grow box I made for them.

I live in CNY, and its still a little cold out (30's most of the time, I move them to the box at night)

Experience anyone? Please and thanks!

Ya with proper light it is possible to finish a plant inside but you should let it veg inside untill the weather is better and you can plant it outside

I was curious about this myself

I have 2 windows in my apartment that capture all of the afternoon sun from about 11AM on....I've thought about sticking my plant into the window to catch some of those sun rays but I don't know if the light passes through the window enough for it to make a difference....or if it would be worth taking them out from under lights to roll the dice with the sun....

My plants appear to be loving the natural sunlight.

Planting them outdoors isn't really an option for me (tiny yard, lots of neighbors)...

I guess until they start looking like they arn't okay...I'm gonna let them go. Each day, they are bent in a different direction (following the sun) which is the only negative (?) as far as I can tell.

well it would be best to get them in your yard as in the window they probally wont create the best buds and will probably cause you problems with stretching but if your just in it for a little smoke should work just fine

Yeah, I'm not looking for a pound a month set up here...I just wanna save on some bud, and gain some respect for the plant by watching it grow

My yard isn't really an option...if I wern't so lazy, I'd take a photo and show you the 6 inches (plus) snow in my lawn

Personally I don't think natural light will produce enough lumens indoors....maybe or maybe not. Insuring that your plant get enough lumens is very important.

Ya forget outside if its that cold..Sorry im in California,but you can pull it off if the window gets enough light but the max you will get is like a quad and thats if your lucky,your probally looking at more like a couple of grams but good luck and best wishes

sorry for the double post,but once agian and most importantly have fun thats what its all really about.

I agree....have loads of fun.

fun is the answer my friends, fun is the answer

I have put foil dull side in and it captures all the light. No more bending to follow the sun. J

hmm well im sure it would work, just wouldnt be as pretty as some lol, maby try putting a light on it over night and letting it eat the sun in the day for a bonus sorta?

snow?!? harsh haha just rainy here, damn all the californians on here and their perfect weather all year

peace

yes but move them from east to west after 12 they should be fine

Seen several people use them for lighting reef aquariums. Corals need a lot of light too so this is what I would do if I owned my home.

OK I have a 4x4 flowering room that has a window to the side of it. I am using a 400 watt hps as well as the sun that comes in that window is reflected into the room and it gets about 5 hours of sun a day as well as the light over it. 3 weeks into flowering now and I just started the sun part of the grow but already it shows major differences in all lower buds that normally don't get touched. I actually made a very large light weight reflector and covered it with Mylar so I can pretty much direct the sun right on the plants in the room.

This grow is DWC and all of the room is Mylar as well. Actually it blinds you to go into the room now. Temps are around 80 in the room and the res is 68 to 70 as I pull outside air into my air pump to help keep the temps down. Outside temps range from 14 up to 45 currently.

Let me know if anyone wants to see pics.
