2287 Sadiq �22 With Cold Frame Fully Removed

While there may still need to be some details completed, this shows the cold frame structure fully removed and the plant ready to fill its new growing area. The lights have been transferred from the cold frame to a 10ft metal pipe that is attached to the larger hoops of the hoop house which can be also be adjusted with light hangers. (The pipe can move and so can the lights on the pipe.) Having these still over the plant allow for a lengthening of the photoperiod and also DLI (Daily Light Integral) but despite these being official grow lights they still do not cover that much are with high intensity light.

The goal is to make the plant think that it is more like Jume 18th and not May 18th when it comes to the duration of light the plant is receiving.
