They are not photoperiod sensitive so they don't need long days or short days to flower. Bright light is best for flowering. We recommend providing 3,500 f.c. at transplant and once the plants are established light levels can be increased to 4,500 f.c.. They will tolerate higher levels, it is just important to make sure they are not moisture stressed at the time. During this time of year it may be difficult to achieve that high enough light levels. Supplemental lighting can be used be is not essential.
