When you say there's no sunlight do you mean it's night time or just overcast? Even when it's really cloudy the sun rays still shine through, hung out at Santa Cruz for the day, really over cast and I was burnt by bed time. That light would be ok but unless it's almost dark out there (black, night time, ect) I personally would just leave it outside. If possible maybe put the light on it out side. Good luck

its like complete clouds not overcast, been raining all day which is also a worry. so do u reckon if i had my light on it it would actually do something?

If it's that bad and raining a lot too ya it wouldn't hurt to bring her in. The light isn't very much wattage but it will do any other lamps you could throw on here would make her happier, maybe by a brighter window as well. She is a plant though, she'd make it if you left her.

shes just spouted a couple days ago and its been cloudy those few days so im worried. i am able to get a few of those lights on her aswell. and the sun is basically gone now. its starting to get dark and leaving her on my windowsill wouldnt do too much but hey, may aswell

Oh what she's a sprout yes go get her quick, as little guys direct rain can triple them. Some deal ok with it and perk back up, some don't I don't like to risk it. That light is fine for a sprout, but if it cold on your windowstill just put her some were warm and breathable air flow is always helpful.

Ya she's a little too wet for her size but not much you can do about it other than keep her warm and most needed is air flow on her right now to help with all that moisture. She looks nice though, bag seed or does she have a name?

Uh oh, santa cruz you say? I'm only a hour or so away.
To OP, is your main goal to keep her in veg? If so, from what you posted, sounds like you got it.

Don't know much about lighting times in ausie but a 400mh/hps is a little over kill for her size. She would like it very much though, I'd say wait till she's about at least 6-8" for a light that big.
Here's a cheap little led for veg if you can afford it,

she needs about 18/6 lighting, I keep it 24/0 until about 6-8" under a 2ft t5 then throw her under a big daddy bulb.

True mader very true I use a 400w dimmable ballast and turn it down to 200w tho I have watched a utube video of a guy growing auto who directly potted the seeds and it was a 1000w mh and his seeds handled that np

Ya I've grown a few autos under a 400watt set up right from seed worked out just fine but I figured the MH bulb cost more to run and until she gets enough leafs to really use up a decent amount of light it seemed like a waste.
