How much direct sunlight is needed?

[SHRED]

I'd love to be able to move my Autoflowers outdoors to save on energy costs and it's just less complicated. I am a little over three weeks into veg under T5HO.
The temps where I live now are in the 70 to 80 range with most times being at least 60% humidity or more. Nighttime lows are in the high 50s to low 60s and they are climbing.

Sunrise to sunset has about a 12 hour span now.
My balcony gets about 7 to 8 hours of direct sunshine.
Is this enough to produce good flowers on my Autos?

:Sharing One:ideally Shred i like to give them at the less 12 hours of good light with 18 hours max light for my autos but thats the cool thing about them they,re not light determined you can still get some good bud maybe not the full potential of the genetics with that setup.."My 2 cents"

Thank you. With my electric rates here in San Diego County it is tempting

SHRED, if you do decide to move them outside, do it gradually, start with maybe 2 hours of morning sun and increase some each day.

Good luck

What they said ^^^ 7-8 hours is pretty good bro, maybe try 1 or two plants at a time and see the difference

Min 6hr direct sunlight. Min 14 hr day.

Like Oldster says ease them into the solar blast. Shade cloth works good, but don't trap heat close around plants. Create an open shady space that vents freely.

I dont know really... But I think my darlings have like 4 hours of direct sunlight.

And perhaps its been like from11 to 12 houra of light in the day.

Its spring... the city I live at is very humid due to proximity to the sea, but it rains little.

The plants are positioned ao they bath from direct sunlight at 11am... cause if the day was "cloudy", it usually "cleans up" till that time (cause of the wind).

My plants are stunted under purpose, cause I need discretion... and cause its a seedrun.

Even not being optimum condition, it will grow, you know?

I dont mind much if it will grow huge, I just want to grow! ;-)
