birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . cutting light back prior to setting starts outdoors? i've heard that cutting light back on starts, from 18 to 12 hours, prior to planting outdoors, will create plants that are squat and stand up to the winds much better. the plants tend to both grow and flower at the same time, but still mature in the fall time. the plant's energy is not wastsed on producing unessesary/wasted branch and leaf growth. the yeild is about the same as normal. anyone tried this?
