Extending the growing season with light deprivation techniques allows growers to maximize crop yields and cultivate plants beyond traditional growing periods. By manipulating light exposure, you can induce flowering and fruiting earlier in the spring and later into the fall. Start by implementing a blackout system that effectively blocks out sunlight during specific periods.
Using supplemental lighting during shorter days can help maintain growth rates and promote healthy development. Heating systems can also be employed to regulate temperature, protecting plants from frost and ensuring optimal growing conditions during cooler months.
