thanks. just cheap shop lights from Home Depot...we ran lights in the greenhouses for the first 2 months after planting. Now the crew is covering each greenhouse in the pre-dawn hours and uncover at 9am to put them on 12/12 light to trigger flowering. They have been covering for 1 week...Those t5

Whatever yall did.......it worked. But did you guys flip the lights on at dusk or after dark?

at dusk. The farm is off grid. we run a generator for a few hrs after dusk to to keep the plants from flowering. We get 3hrs of run time from 1gl of gasoline, so we put in 1 gl and start the generator at dusk and the generator will shut themselves off after 3hrs....

No topping done, training thru the trellis to keep uniformed as possible. Only thinning the lower branches for air flow.

DJJ, I think I read that you also have a true outdoor grow too? If so could you compare the bud quality; size, density, to the covered plants?

The full season outdoor plants have much more adversity to deal with on a daily basis, and mother nature take her toll in many ways. Just overall more stress on the plant. Where the greenhouses really pay off is the last few weeks of flowering when the buds are getting big and susceptible to moisture and cold. You can lose a lot of outdoor buds the last 2 weeks of flowering due to the weather. I rain & wind can cause havoc with your harvest.
