Light cycle question

ok guys, so I'm trying to grow a tiny little plant on my balcony.

Just a fun little grow.

My question is, how critical is the lighting schedule.

Here's how she is lit now:

7:00AM-11:00AM indirect sunlight
11:00AM-6:00PM direct sunlight
6:00PM-12:00PM I move her inside under a flourescent DL bulb.

Start over again the next day.

I know that you are all going to say that I need to buy lights and timers and blah blah.

This is one plant, and I'm not spending the money.

So my question is, will she grow ok under the current conditions. I don't care if it takes twice the time.

Let me know. Thanks!!!!

As long as there is no break in the light, that is you get her inside before sunset, she will do fine with that setup. Just try to keep it the same every day. Soon the days will be long enough you don't have to bring her in for extra light.

Grow OK? Oh ya, you should yield about a pound

Thank you so much for the answers guys.



I found this link and it had some cool info.

It should grow ok in that condition but you cant expect a big yield, my first grow was almost same condition and I got 30g from a white widow plant. Then I bought light and everything else and it is not the same story.
