Is it possible if the mint grows at the south facing window? How long will it live?

I know that my plants need light since my apartment doesn’t get much of it but I am also worried about safety. Should I leave the grow lights on or off (theyre on a 12 hour timer)?

Ps - I am only gone for 3 days

I’ve got a few indoor plants near my living room window and the light there changes a lot from morning to afternoon. One plant started leaning toward the glass so I turned it. Then I moved another one closer. A few days later I swapped them again because the first spot looked brighter. Somehow this has turned into a tiny daily furniture shuffle before I leave for work.

They’re growing so nothing seems seriously wrong, but I’m just wondering if I’m making this harder than it needs to be. I like checking on them after work and now I notice every tilted stem like it’s filing a complaint. I’d rather learn their habits than keep reacting to every little change. Yesterday I moved the same pot twice and finally realized I might be the problem here lol.

Do your plants stay in one permanent spot or do you move them around depending on the light?

Think about making an app that makes it easier for my self since im preety carless and am on screen like evruday to grow plants any ideas I should include
