I mean keeping the plants in the large pots and just setting the pots out in the sun for a few hours and then bringing them back inside. I have enough time to bring them out in the sun for a few hours a day but not the ability to leave them outside all the time. I mean outside outside, in the hot southern sun.
And the reason I ask is I read somewhere that the sun puts out about 15,000 lumens per sq ft and I could never match that, so does putting them in the sun for a few hours when I can help them out, or should I just leave them under their regular lights?
