" i guess growth without light is going to be problematic anyway. " Yes, I think that's likely. Here I have enough bright sun and warm temps off and on throughout the winter months that if I had the time and ability to move them in and out, most of them would grow even with the shorter days. Since that's not going to happen, I try to severely limit the supplemental water to prevent as much active growth as I can. That kind of growth is not good when the plants go back out when it warms up. And most of my plants get moved as soon as I think possible. That usually means some are going back out before the deciduous oaks have leafed out enough to give some protection. So between too much sun and spring winds, new growth from the winter tends to take a beating. Even old growth that grew in harsh sun can sunburn after those rays have been removed during the winter rest. Mostly that move is managed pretty well, but there are always a few that get damaged. Not an ideal situation, but it is what it is.
