I agree with you that the lighting could be the biggest challenge without direct sunlight. And it's not only the amount of light needed, but the color of the light. "Cool-colored lights will stimulate leaves and vines, but not great for flowering or fruit yield. Warm-colored lights will encourage plants to flower and bear fruit." So it's recommended to use both colors of lights. Very interesting. Do you get any sunlight at all inside?
