I'm a chemist major in college and have a weird love of biology. This is just something new for me and I feel the need to record everything as if it were an experiment hahah. Now for a question...
For the 5 I put outside, we only get 15 hours of sunlight here. Will that be ok?
Your knowledge of chemistry will serve you well. Maybe jump all the way in next grow and try hydroponics? (Then you can help me unravel the mysterious pH variations in my reservoir...)
As for "only" 15 hours of sunlight a day, ideally of course your plants will have a southern exposure and get direct sun from dawn to dusk, but even six hours of direct sun should be "enough" to produce some useful flowering. Maybe you are thinking of photoperiod, though? That shouldn't be an issue, except of course photoperiod plants won't flower until the days get shorter...
Below for your amusement is a shot of the plant that has lived out on my deck since the last day of winter. It lived and flowered with short, cold, dark days, so cannabis can survive without a lot of light. They just don't grow.
