Is possible to grow without sunlight?

[R3D5KULL]

Hi guys! No, I'm not trolling! I open this thread to know your opinion on this topic. I have to say that after some experiments, I already have my own conclusions. Yet before posting, I would like to know what you think about it.

r u serious?its impossible

I would like to say, grown plants out of direct sunlight.

You can, there is always reflected light and diffused light but you will be growing mostly leaf on spindly plants...
Yield is directly related to amount of light so more hours/intensity = more weight. Low intensity = low yield, and the plants will be a lot more vulnerable to pests.

Exactly

White asparagus comes to mind when I hear some thing like this. I would be interested in hearing what you have found / done with canna

well then yes....big node spacing,airy buds,les trichs,smaller yield

Be perfect if I grew for any of those lol.

out of the nine plants i see you might get a half ounce

Its better than no weed but still, I kind of feel sorry for those plants. A 50 watt CFL over that area would make them yield more..

they will grow but as everyone else mentioned they will be lanky and airy buds.

plants run on carbs, they leafs collect sun and convert into sugars for food

little leafs = less amount of light absorption
big leafs = more area to collect sun/c02

also look at your leafs for green darkness increasing chlorophyll does wonders for light absorption.

The plural of leaf is 'leaves' unless you're from Toronto.

i don't understand what's going on here. are you saying these plants have been in the dark since they sprouted? that's impossible, plants need sunlight to make chlorophyll, the shit in the leaves that makes them look green to human eyes. if those plants had been in the dark for any length of time the leaves should all be yellow or pale white.

grown out of direct sunlight? yeah they're gonna be stretchy thin and spindly, sorta like the pics you posted. they're also gonna take a really long time to finish and you should feed them the least amount of food. but why would you want that? if it's outdoors just move them to somewhere they can get at least 5 hours of direct sunlight. even on that little bit of direct light you can harvest a plant thats still gonna be pretty small but it will fill in more.

also don't let your pots get so dry. don't need to up the frequency or anything. just on the day that you water do it in the morning instead of later in the day so they don't dry out so much. i see you're starting to get pH issues.

indirect lighting outdoors leads to lanky plants and loose ass buds...IMHO..... I had a few swamp spots back east self watering and all they were used for was extracts/hash....

And then no one cares how bad you grammar or spelling is, they'll still pat you on the head like a happy-go-lucky sidewalk-gum chewer because you're from Taranna.

why wouldnt you just get $50 worth of lights for them?!
