Bringing outside plants in with no lights

so due to issues beyond my control I am going to have to bring my auto flowers inside. They have been grown outside and have approx 2 weeks to finish. Inside gets a patch of sun for a couple of hours in the morning. Will they be ok, it’s pretty devastating timing & my 2nd grow.

Unfortunately, just a couple of hours behind a window will not be enough to finish your plants. In fact being behind glass will diminish the effectiveness of the sunlight, further complicating things for you. Cannabis needs at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight each day to be able to function and grow properly. Any less and metabolism slows which obviously means growth and everything else slows too. Being autos they could benefit from even more direct light, so you do have a slight problem. As Mr Chevron suggested, even a couple of cheap LEDs will dramatically improve the chances of having your plants finish normally and without issues. Do you have anywhere on the roof where you could put them, even up a tree works well, most people expect plants to be at ground level and elevating them can be a simple and effective way of avoiding detection. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

Hi ! Met nog 2 weken te gaan, kan deze verandering wel wat stress bezorgen aan de planten. Normaal gezien behouden autoflowers hun hoeveelheid licht de volledige kweek. De kans dat de bloei gaat stagneren door zoveel licht weg te nemen is behoorlijk groot. Je zou ze dicht aan een raam kunnen plaatsen, maar ik denk ook dat je ze beter nog wat extra ondersteuning geeft met wat kunstlicht. Veel succes en als de oogst er is, genieten!👌🌱

They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight at this point. You may have to move them around the house at different points in the day. I would personally find a 2 day shipping site like Amazon and buy a couple cheap lights. You could get a good enough one or two lights for $50. Well worth not losing your harvest for.... Or a nice light if you plan to grow indoors at all.
