Lol, mine are nice pretty green. There not COMPETLY int he sun, like 3branches with leaves blocking ALL of there sun. But i choose the roof because, its a good place to hide from police & nosey people and still give them good sun...and if i put them up there and not in my daily view i will forget them for a week and give them good chance to grow. Im newb and trying to be patient...thats best way for me.
