Growing autos all year indoor.

Afternoon all.
As the title says, can autos be grown all year round, indoors, but without a tent or lights. No specialist equipment what so ever. Just popped into medium, a nice warm, central heated room, with natural light.
I've read on some sales websites, that this possible, since their not photos.
Has anyone tried this.

Morning all.
Was checking out my greenhouse temps the last couple of days, averaging 25c, daily. Its in a great sun trap as well.
Don't get hard, frosty weather here in winter, just rain, and wind. So cold temps aren't really an issue.
So I decided to drop 3 beans for the fun of it in small pots, 2, 5lts and 1 10lt..
I dropped 3 RQS strains.
Royal dwarf
Northern Lights and
Easy bud.
Not expecting much to be honest, all this is just for fun.

I have sooo much seeds that I'll probably never get the chance to use, so nothing lost.

They'll definitely grow. I just wouldn't be counting on big plants. I've seen autoflower bonsais that are basically grown like house plants. And some people do just grown them by windows

Hi jp1
It's just a bit of fun, and a experiment to see will the grow.
I was/ am looking into on seeing how to grow a Bonsai plant.
Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure that he does it year round - a lot depends on your latitude and the angle of the sun coming in the windows - but here's a window grower. I've actually seen this guy have better results, but this was the first thread that came up in the search I did and it shows his set up.

I've grown autos on a table top with no tent, but I did hang a couple of COB lights over them, on for 13 hours per day. The plants produced decent buds, not a lot, but good genetics and good quality. My house is 66º during the winter, I think with the lights on it warmed up into the low to mid 70's, but I think the temps were the biggest factor in keeping them smaller. They were very healthy though, with cooler temps and less intense lighting (than in my tent), they didn't eat as much.

It would be interesting to see the difference between a summer window grow and a winter one, assuming the ambient temps in the room changed. If you have total indoor climate control, then the biggest variable would be the number of hours of direct sunlight your window gets seasonally, depending on how far from the equator you are and the size and location of your windows.

I have an extra plant this grow, when the tent gets crowded I'll probably take the extra one out and put it by a window. Because of neighbors trees to the south of me and the shape of my house, in winter my south facing windows will only get a few hours of direct light at best. I also live in a place with very rainy/cloudy winters, so I really can't count on sunlight sustaining them. Like you, I have too many seeds, but I also have too many lights, so I'll probably hang a light over mine.
