This point is probably moot now, you plants look nice, but none the less its useful information for the future. Most windows in houses now days are UV treated. Different glass, window types, coatings and what-not all make differences. A typical, newer style, double-pane window has energy star crap built into it thats great for your heating and cooling expense but bad for good lighting. Light gets through but not the good stuff ya need from it.
A lot of prescription glasses that have transitional lenses (auto-darken when in bright places) wont darken at all if inside a car or behind an double pane window, some might darken a bit, depending on the glass, but not much.
The only reason I know is because my damn $350 glasses don't get dark while I'm driving on a sunny day. I have to hold them under sun that doesn't pass through a window first then stick em on if I want em shaded. And, they don't hardly darken when I'm at home cause of our energy efficent windows.
Once again, you're doing great with those for a first grow like me, but this might help someone later...
