Howzit Farmers,
I live in Hawaii where we dont get days longer than 14 hours during the solstice, so it is difficult to get a plant to continue to veg when put outside.
I've been researching techniques to keep plants in vegetative state and have come across a 12-1 lighting technique where you disrupt the sleep cycle for an hour in the middle of the night cycle and wanted to give it a try. I was wondering if anyone here knows what the minimum lumen requirements would be to disrupt the night cycle outdoor?
My goal is to find an economical, off-grid solution to light up my girls and keep them in veg. The cheapest I have found is 1000-1200 lumen Solar-powered LED flood lights that retail for ~$40 on amazon. Just wondering if those will put out enough light to do the trick.
