My lights are on 18 hours a day, sometimes 24 hours a day, the snowbanks , pncream and maya especially love the extra lights, and I think that is why I am getting Y's. I feed them and water them and all, of course, since they are growing. I am braced for the winter that is headed our way. Really looking good there Elizabeth. I have a huge Cherub for you. I am glad CG is doing well. Charlene I love the fact you grow those in a green house that is so cool.
mstish I heard that too.. but so far, this year, I haven't had any bad things happen from too much light. this isn't the brug room. This is the East wall of the main growing room, where the black eyed susan vine and tropical hibiscus are blooming. There is a draft from the windows in this room, even with bubble wrap over them, but the lights give them extra warmth , and it is heated, but I have the vents blocked off. Hubby lets me pay the extra to keep the lights on, but he worrys constantly about a fire. I don't.
