I live at a far northern latitude and would like to flower some plants outside this summer.
I'm thinking of growing them inside until June then placing them outside to take advantage of the almost constant sun.
Come July my thought is to cover them with a blackout tarp so as to limit light time to 12 hours for July and August.
I have nothing but an idea here. No idea what the tarp will be made of or how to prevent the environment from going toxic while covered. (humidity & temperature)
I was thinking of building a greenhouse frame over a small grow area and dragging a tarp over it at 7PM, them removing it in the morning at 7AM.
If the tarp is large enough I might be able to stake up the edges for air flow but still provide enough shade to trick the plant into thinking it is night.
Any advise on a blackout tarp are welcome. Black plastic is cheep, but a few holes could mess things up.
How likely is this to work?
