Currently growing pineapple chunk and the plant is only getting 4-5 hours of direct sunlight a day (gonna harvest in 10-14 days and probally only gonna get 15 grams bc of lack of sunlight.) Is there any strains out there that don't require alot of direct sunlight ???
 
Yeah that is a tough one for sure, I've always been under the impression that the more light you get, the more growth you get. Now having said that, I do know intermitent shade is okay, as long as it isn't constantly shaded or dark. I know there are strains that do well in slightly lower light levels, not 100% sure which strains but possibly haze varieties. Google it and find out, I'm sure it's been asked plenty of times. Most guerrilla growers run into this issue some time or other as their grows increase in size and locations.
 
Go to your local garden center and look at all the indoor plants. Very few have flowers. Bromeliads being the most popular, but they only grow one single flower and if it dies that's it. Orchids are another plant but they are a bitch to care for and the best indoor species are ugly. Most heavy flowering plants need full sun. Cannabis is large and produces lots of large flowers. No way around it, you need full sun, which is a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight every day. If you can only do five hours, get auto flowers. They're smaller so they'll have the best chance, but honestly they need full sun as well.
 
Ruderalis can cope in harsher climates and less sunlight, just daylight is often enough to get result but the strain aint very potent, more of a recreational smoke. Don´t you have the possibility of growing in combo with a growlight? The LED ufo 120 watts is a very good light to grow with.

Dude I do believe he's growing outside so why would he want specs for a light?

"even under low light conditions (min. 15-20,000 lumens/m2), such as under fluorescent tubes, CFL lamps and 150-250W HPS the performance is satisfying."

There was more than just light specs. Where does it say he grows outside and where does it say the plant can´t be put under a light while there´s no sun? Who are you to answer the post for him? Just because you believe something you need to comment, could it be you love the sound of your own voice? I gave an option whether he takes it is up to him not to you. BTW what did you contribute?

Hmmm, that sounds like it's outside to me, Could be wrong, maybe they brought the sunlight inside lol. **Good job to those that actually looked for any viable low light strains!! Peace!!
 
https://www.seedsherenow.com/shop/seed-types/regular-seeds/707-seed-bank-angels-delight/ I know this thread is older but folks still can use the information anytime .I asked this question myself years back l and never read anything like this description .I found it.
707 Seed Bank – Angel’s Delight
Dosido x Kush Cleaner
10 Regular Seeds Per Pack
Like the Eye Candy, this one blended really well together. Cookie type plants are dominant. Searching through these I found some insane genotypes. Most look like cookies but with great yields. Large resin glands full of vanilla, kush, lemon candy terpenes fill the air around the Angels Delight. I did find several that looked like they had been dipped in sugar. They perform well in all environments. Outdoors it did really well in areas that didn’t get as much sunlight. Supporting the branches is highly recommended.
Indoor 8-10 Weeks
Outdoor Mid-Late Oct https://www.seedsherenow.com/shop/seed-types/regular-seeds/707-seed-bank-angels-delight/
 
Twenty20 seeds has a strain they claim does well in low light. I've never grown it, so I can't verify the breeder claims (below), but it sounds interesting.

Good luck.

SF’nG

Nose: Sour Lemon/LimeExtreme gas similar to SFVOG
Notes: One of our earliest ripening outdoor varieties. Extremely resistant to botrytis and powdery mildew. Very effective in low-light and shady areas. Heavy trichome coverage and exceptionally nauseating gassy terpene profile. Extremely potent and flavorful.
