10 watt LED - 8 feet away - enough to maintain Light Cycle ?

I moved some clones from the indoor veg in a closet, to the windowsill.

In the short term (until I get another clamp on LED light) the only light they get is the dining room light. 1 LED light, about 8 feet away from the 6 plants.

Do you think that is bright enough to maintain the Veg. light cycle ?

They get some decent sunlight during the day. They're on the south side & get direct sunlight from about 10 AM to about 4 PM.

The picture shows the window-sill they are on, for the sun light.

This is the seedling that was totalled by the very friendly rooster.

That one seedling is now recovering on the windowsill along with the 5 clones. :rtfo:

I found that its not so much the intensity of one light but the variance of intensity. Moving clones from under the HP's to a 9 w led over night caused them to start flowering but leaving them under the led allowed the to stay in veg. Though the led wasn't anywhere near 8 feet away. I think you're asking for probs to be honest.
