Then back to business as usual outside. If plants are in the grind I use a Homemade Panda film pouch or silverboard panels for the dark period. Here’s how they look.

The atrium will be fine as long as you get 5-7 hours of direct sun. I grew in a window sill for years, it would only get direct sun from 10am to 3pm and it worked out great. I would get 2 foot size plants and just over an ounce. If you plant two or three that could be a nice grow every year

Outside 6 hours direct sun minimum is the general rule of thumb the more the better id say though

Howdy Everyone, I Was Just Wondering How Much Direct Sunlight Does A Plant Need Thats Being Grown Outdoors. The Planned Circumstances Are That I Have An Atrium Inside My House That Isn't That Larger. (An Atrium Is A Place Outdoors That Is Surrounded By Your House On All Four Sides). It Is Approx About 25 Feet By 25 Feet, Therefore My House Casts Shadows Upon The Open Space Of The Atrium During The Day.

Will This Be A Problem Growing Outdoors Starting April In So. California? ,Do Plants Feed Off Simple Sun Light Or Direct Sunlight? All Advice Would Be Appreciated.

I'm A Pretty Smart Guy And I Catch On To Stuff Fast, I Just Want To Keep My Learning Mistakes To A Minimum.

I Was Also Thinking Of Vegitating In My Backyard And Then moving the plants into my atrium during Flowering (when The Plant Becomes Valuable And Smelly.) Would This Work? ,I Would Love To Take Advantage Of My Atrium In My House, Since The Atrium Would Block Neighborly Views, Potent Smells And Thieves.

That's a great plan. If your home during the day you can add lights during the morning and evening. You just have to be home some days so you can adjust the timer every week or so as the time of day when the plants are in the sun will change gradually over time. So basically if you add some blue and red LED in am and pm it will be best for optimal yield and resin production. Too much shade makes less potent and smaller buds. However indirect sunlight has a lot of lumens and if you add some Led in the am pm it should be even better then regular outdoor.

My plants are In a field area and get direct sunlight all day when outside except for a few on the edge of the area and they’re yield is usually a little less and have moisture issues as they’re is less wind in that area and air flow. But they get all the light they want so at the height of summer they’re getting like 15 to 16 hours of direct light no shade
