drdawg said:Great information, Paul. My post was geared towards the average hobbyist (like myself). Entire books have been written on "light" and many lengthy articles have been written on how light affects plants.


It's really an interesting subject. I've read a few books about photoperiod, which were mostly about the effects of light on humans, but the effects on plants are always mentioned too . I'm actually using a bright light box to try to change my own internal clock. My sleep schedule has been out of sync with the rest of the world for decades. I'm really more on DST all year, and when the rest of the world turns their clocks back in fall, my internal clock just won't change.

Plants have their own circadian cycles, too.
