Do gardens need sunlight to grow?

[Shad0wkaster]

just wondering if glass walls and ceiling are required for an indoor garden. Found 1 post and it said no but it was an old post so I just want to verify. Thx

Nope. My greenhouse is inside a cave. Grows just fine.

Having glass walls near grow plots makes them grow much faster. They get a huge buff. The way the description is written, it just says "near". A glass ceiling might be enough all by itself, but i do glass walls too just for the aesthetics.

I also have a ton of crops related talents and buffs from the grow plots, so maybe there's a negative debuff from lack of light. I have so many positives they're completely negating any penalties if they even exist.
