Okay so it's been a minute but I think dark is enhanced cellular respiration but don't hold me to that. Mostly it's a hormonal thing. The plant detects the change in season based on the length of uninterrupted dark per day. It ripens faster because as that uninterrupted dark gets longer it thinks it's closer to the winter and it goes through a last ditch effort to make seeds.Okay so the light period gives them the energy to get big and what the dark helps them finish?? What exactly does the darkness do for the plants
