Neither! I did a science test when I was little, and it was on the sun's effect of plants. I put one Lima bean in good soil in a small milk carton and set it on the window sill in my bathroom, where it got full sun, and one under the cabinet where it got NO SUN AT ALL. to my surprise, the bean in the cabinet, with no sun, grew about 75% larger (or faster) than the bean with full sun. Try it out for yourselves, you'd be surprised!
