Well they get some light in the late afternoon.

after a few days i'll put them in all day sun.

as far as clones are concerned as opposed to seed plants; i know clones dont exhibit as much vigorous growth when they're young like plants from seed do.

but it also depends on how you prune and a bunch of other factors.

i'm pretty sure if care is taken and they're grown right, they can be just as successful as plants grown from seed...
