Explain why if you can

i think its natural sunlight just dryinging out your soil faster. plants grow better outdoors than with artificial sunlight, just a fact. plants get bigger,healthier, drink more water...not rocket science. plus you never mentioned if you just put the plants outdoors in their pots, or planted them in the ground, of course a plant in the ground has more root room.

The amount of hours of sun in 2 weeks can be counted on two hands, it has been dreary and rain for 2 weeks, no drying at all

Yes, they are in the ground. I do not see any faster growth or anything like that, and bugs have been eating too, but they seem to be just fricking thriving in the sopping wet ground. I let them get that wet in pots and they are dead meat.
