. However I'm not sure if a certain amount of lumens would need to be available to the plant in order to keep vegetating outdoors. After all, the sun is pretty freaking bright, so a 100w light might not be bright enough.....but not speaking from experience....

I tend to agree but I'm surprised how bright that area is, I put a mirror directly across from the patio light so it shines directly into the mirror. I don't think I could get away with much more light without looking suspicious, this is on the side of my garage so it looks like I just forgot and left that light on next to the door.
