I'm documenting growing indoors in a sunny south facing room. Just soil, compost and sunlight. I started with 10 Sensi Seeds ruderalis indica seeds that were several years old. They all sprouted but a few died right away and a few died some days later. So right now we're three weeks in and there's 5 of them left and they are doing fine. They already have a nice smell if you stick your nose in them :)
Why this way? Outside is not an option and I don't want to spend money on equipment I might not need. We'll see how this one goes and I'll adjust what's needed for the next grow. Weed has been doing fine for thousands of years and I suspect it will do fine this way too.
I got about 4 weeks of veg in, before my friends and I were out of weed, chopped the plant and dried it in a toaster oven. This was almost 50 years ago, when it was perfectly acceptable to smoke leaves.
I checked out the strain - apparently it's a semi-auto flower (half the plants flower with no change to light) -- I think with normal photoperiods you may have issues with light coming from inside your room at night
im pretty sure you cant really do "all natural" and inside at the same time.
good luck! i looked at this strain, and like @elduderito says, it has a 50/50 chance of being an auto. that might change things for you. if some are photos and some are autos...
I put them in bigger pots and they seem to have adjusted to the new roomier living situation. I've read it should be fine if they get at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. I'm curious to find out how many of them will autoflower. I think I'll force flowering anyway at some point by putting them in a completely dark room.
I used to smoke a lot way back when (20 years ago), but I ended up getting panic attacks after a several years of use that grew into abuse... so I quit. I deliberately went with a strain that has a fair amount of CBD and I'm trying to keep is as organic and low key as possible. I'm not looking for a gigantic yield or ultra high THC content. Been there, done that and now I'd like to find out if the mellow homegrown route is more to my liking.

Well it's been a while, but there hasn't been much going on, except they're happily growing growing growing. One of them is quite a bit smaller than the others, but they're all doing fine. The whole floor they're on smells like cannabis :)
Am I correct in thinking these are preflowers? Female I hope, or is it too soon to tell?
