i know that the more light the better BUT would a plant produce ANYTHING in shady conditions? i know it wont be hardly anything but a free slice would be nice or even a gram or two. would i get anything at all?
If you just plant a seed straight into the ground with no special soil, no store bought nutes, no bug sprays, etc you will be lucky to get a gram. It takes a lot of time, energy, and money to grow successfully. You can go the bare minimum, but without even providing sun I wouldn't expect much if it even survives.
I currently have a plant under 2 18 watt fluorescent tubes, it will grow fine, but it is going to take a little long...
