Tricks to force sexual maturity of plants

Lots of lights are better than sunlight. Not in energy use, of course, but in lumen output, which is what matters to the plants. If you keep a 1k, or even a 400 watt light, close enough, it's more light than sunlight could possibly provide. I think I read that sunlight provides about 5000 lumens per square foot. My 400 watt light with a decent bulb spits out 55,000 lumens, and I use it in a smaller space than 11 square feet, so you do the math: it's better than sunlight.

James WIN! :P

Tricks to force sexual maturity of plants Hi, I got 3 NL's on the go under 400W HPS but tiny cupboard and no ventilation other than keepiong the door open when the lihgt is on. Also using miracle grow :S I dont want people commenting on my conditions - they cheap and get the job done for a fair yield. Anyway, Flowering before the plants have shown their sex results in poor yield/longer flowering (apparently - certainly makes flowering longer). These seeds are feminized - i wanna force them to go so i can flower them now. Rating: 5
