RE: Let there be light

Lighting the pumpkin patch???  Not in California.  Not anymore.  First,
you'd go broke.  Second, Gray Davis would personally arrest your ass for
lighting an outdoor space.

I have used various lighting techniques over the years, indoors with the
clones and outdoors as well. I notice no variable difference in additional
growth, flowering influence, growth patterns, or adverse or unusual growth.

I never tried a "controlled" experiment though to verify if lighting helped
anything grow more, though, just didn't seem like the efforts justified the
use. I'd like to hear about anyone who has tried a "controlled" experiment,
and what the results were.

Warmer temperatures seem to be more helpful initially, which is the only
thing I found to be a benefit using additional lighting, but I haven't
experimented with it enough...I just wanted to state the things I've
noticed, since I've dabbled a little bit with it.
