I can well believe this, and as one gets even closer to the equator the photo-period difference between vegetative and flowering for land races would decrease even more. As a lad I lived right on the equator (it was 7 km (4 miles) from our house to the equator sign on the road), where the length of the day varied by a maximum of only about 20 minutes over the course of a year. The days were never less than 12 hours, but our maximum sunrise-to-sunset time was only about 12 hours and 20 minutes!

It would be totally cool, and somewhat cheaper, to veg indoors at say, 13 hours of light, then flower at 12. :thumbsup:
