Cloudy cool days....

Hey guys I’m wondering how well a plant (bagseed) will do through a UK autumn, I’m concerned about many cloudy days and not a lot of straight up sun and how it will affect yield, I’m experienced indoor but not outdoor, anyone know any info on cloudy days etc? Thanks

I looked back at my grow log from last season, and I went through a near 2 week stretch of rain, clouds and crap weather. Wisconsin, USA, so a little north of the UK. I just shook them off multiple times a day, and they still seemed to fatten up nicely. They caught up when the sun did come through.

Thanks for the reply dude, do you know any science behind lighting on a cloudy day? I know there are tons of variables but in general? I think I have pretty much a two week stretch of the same weather comming up also with temps dropping around 11c at night Ive been bringing them in the house at night when it’s cold but I don’t want to confuse the poor things as my house is 21c and outside it’s like 18c daytime, if it’s a mild night I’ll just leave them in the shed.

Ultraviolet light still gets through the clouds to our plants and our skin. Ultraviolet light has its own spectrum just like regular sunlight, and still provides an energy source for the plants.

As far as temps, unless it's a heavy frost, or freezing, they will be fine. A frost can even spur a final burst of new growth/resin.

Thanks again dude, daytime temps are averaging 15c over the next week or so, so hopefully it will carry on doing its thing at the same rate!
