Thanks docThe idea for this whole schmear came from a paper from 1913 in France from a man named Julien Tournois....He was growing Hops and Hemp "underglass" (old term for greenhouse growing) He found that they would "flower most precociously in winter". He observed that they would flower most rapidly when allowed only 6 hours of daylight.

Google Julien Tournois and you will eventually find all sorts of views on this idea as it stands in regard to basic plant growth to C3 plant function manipulation....
Do NOT use logic to explain what you believe to be fact on this topic......
The OP is making an acceptable experiment to discover the useable information it can supply.....I am about to do a commercial size run in a side by side test to determine the commercial viability of this theory in actual application.....I will not be starting this phase for another 8 weeks.....I will cover the experiment here also.
Till that time. I AM closely following this thread!!!
WELL DONE so far! @torontoke
