Growth during winter

Hello everyone I'm new to Dave's. I have quite a few very small brugs that I wouldn't mind getting to size for spring. In a heated greenhouse, with a good fert program, will I need extra light to promote solid growth?
My sanguinea seems to produce good solid growth, and all the others have always been kept dormant so I haven't tried this. With other plants I have wound up with stretched stems. I'm near Vancouver Canada if that helps.
Thanks for any replies, Dennis

Dennis,
Though not as much or fast growth as in summer, I manage to get size to most of my small brugs over winter and on to bloom spring/early summer.
My glasshouse area for brugs is kept cool. I supplement with growlights And a regular fertilizer schedule to keep growing.
Hope this helps (o:

Hey Dennis, nice to see you here. You know Liz and I use HID lights, keeps the brugs growing well but you do need to give them a rest period around December/January for 4-6 weeks.

Everyone - please welcome Dennis - he's saved me in more ways than one.
For the others who haven't met you. Dennis is a master gardener and a professional landscaper. He does amazing work and grows wonderful plants.
AND - for those of you who are raising my sang x sang cross. Tonny, Ludger, and lots of others - Dennis' fuzzy sanguinea is the mother plant.

Dennis, welcome welcome!! the more the merrier and any friend of our Canadian girls must be someone special!!!

Hi Dennis,
I did a double take when I saw your name. My best friend is Denise Taylor and thought she had joined! Welcome, I am sure you will enjoy it here.

Thanks everyone, and Liz for being so kind. I currently can't set up HID's for them in the ghouse, although that would be great. I have a double ballast 4' flourescent canopy. Due to these bulbs having to be within inches of the plants it hardly can take on all of the cuttings, but I can be choosy.
Thanks- Dennis

Her brother's name is Dennis, that made me really look!
