This was just a test, so to answer both of your questions, no I won't be growing them indoors or outdoors, it's still far to cold to plant out anything.

But I will let them grow a little longer under lights to see what happens.

I would like to try @Artorius method of growing dwarf beans indoors out of season, but I don't have the natural light for it. Do you think growlights would suffice?

I can't say for sure, but I would think they would. It would be good to know for sure.

I was once forced to grow beans under lights for 2 weeks due to a spell of unexpected bad weather. One time isn't much to draw a conclusion but what I observed with mine was the grow light fluorescents were not strong enough and the bean stems elongated far too much really quickly. I think if you have the really intense full spectrum grow lights you might be able to do it, but my inferior set up would not have succeeded long term I don't think.

Grow lights work for tomato plants and they must require just as much intensity of light as beans do. If you have grow lights try it and see what happens. I would think bush bean would be the best one to try because they are smaller.
