Perhaps yes. I place it indoor just beside my second floor window facing south west, thus it gets pretty damn intense direct sunlight from 4:00pm till 6:00ppm. Other time, just bright. I thought it's sufficient enough, guess I'm wrong then. I'll introduce artificial light and see if it gets better.

Strangely enough, other VFTs don't seem to give me this phenomenon though
