I cannot afford lights so Iam using the sunlight

[Chad1212]

Iam living in Mediterranean area where we get up to 5 hours of direct sunlight and 7 hours of indirect sun light
My seedlings are looking good for now,Iam growing autos so I assume there wont be a problem,wouldn’t it?
Please give me some tips for this grow

Is this a window grow? Yard grow?

5 hours of direct sunlight is severely low.

With an autoflower it will serious under produce with that limited light.

Can you put it on a stand to get it higher up to gain a couple more hours? Move it maybe to a new spot for the second part of the day for more direct light?

Yea. Thats rough. 5 hrs is just not enough. Your gonna want to figure something out.

Move which window your using for direct light when it's not getting direct light.

It's not the best, but some regular CFL bulbs can help. A couple of desk lamps can hit the back of the plant not getting light from the window. Maybe make a false corner wall to place behind the plant. White wall can reflect light for you.

Growing in a window will produce a stretched and spindly plant with very little bud.

Better than nothing. That's a fact.

But when it beings flowering make sure you are not using the white cool light bulb. You will want the more yellow version for flowering.

Which again will not magically make your plant good.

Just slightly better.

I beg to differ with some of the comments on this thread.

I get no more than 6 hours of direct sunshine per day and manage to grow fairly decent plants.

Rigged up some white foam board for my banana pepper plant. She is blooming and producing peppers still. Gonna try it with a small potted cannabis plant this spring.

Would desk lamp do the work?

Yes. What's the info on the bulb in it?

Its a regular bulb but I will try to find some lamp with the led light
Would that make my plants grow?

 

[HydroKid239]

This is what I have used. I use it for germination only now.

Just do what you can. I have a plant vegging in my living room. It's by a window with a regular lamp with a 100 watt equivalent daylight LED bulb. I don't know how it'd work for budding. I should throw an auto in that spot someday and test it. This is a photo so I keep the lamp on 24/7.

It is a little more stretched out than the same plants in my rooms. I just keep supercropping it.
