Lights, camera, action! or How long do I leave my lights on?

If you've decided to grow your violets under artificial lighting you might be asking yourself (or me), "How long do I need to leave the lights on?" Personally, I believe 10 hours a day is more than adequate for the average grower who is growing for their personal satisfaction. If you exhibit your violets, 12-14 hours a day is sufficient.

However, if you're not seeing the bloom count you think you should be seeing or plants are reaching towards the light source, bump it up an hour and measure the results. Remember, make small changes and then measure the results.
