I would have assumed that most plants need a daily light/dark cycle but maybe not?

- NoMoreNicksLeft 3mo agoThe world record holder vegetables are all grown in Alaskan summers, up north... where they get 20+ hours of daylight per day. Dunno, maybe the CAM plants would do bad (pineapples) but just about everything else benefits.
- tredre3 3mo agoMost fruit crops need 8-12 hours of darkness but it changes depending on which point they're at in their life cycle. 20 hours of light is usually fine during the initial stages, then they require 8-10 hours of darkness to bloom, then back to 18-20 hours of light during the fruit growth. (I'm not a botanist or a farmer but I grow greenhouse veggies for fun)
