Earlier this year I told myself I was not going to do this but here we are.
Daylight hours table for my latitude:
Notes
Explanation
The Duration of Daylight table provides, for each calendar date, the total time that any portion of the Sun is above the horizon. Typically (for low and mid-latitude locations), this will be the elapsed time beginning at sunrise and ending at sunset.
The Duration of Darkness table provides, for each calendar date, the total time that the entire Sun is below the horizon. Typically (for low and mid-latitude locations), this will be the sum of two elapsed times: the time beginning at local midnight and ending at sunrise, and the time beginning at sunset and ending at local midnight.
For definitions of sunrise and sunset, see Rise, Set, and Twilight Definitions in our FAQ area.
For an explanation of why there is generally more daylight than darkness during the equinoxes (and all year at the equator), see Length of Day and Night at the Equinoxes and Comparative Lengths of Days and Nights.
Time Zones
For U.S. locations (Form A), phenomena times are presented in the standard time of the place requested, using the current time zone of that place. Standardized time zones were introduced in the U.S. in 1883, but the time zone boundaries have evolved considerably since then, with places shifting from one zone to another. This service makes no attempt to track such changes.
For worldwide locations (Form B) that require it, the time zone can be entered in hours and a fraction. For example, for locations in India, the time zone may be entered as 5.5 hours east of Greenwich. The time zone field can accommodate up to five characters.
Currently I use these tubs to make a sort of clamshell.
The lexan is pretty diffuse, for a fact this is not light tight, but it appears to be working as I have this sativa dom in reveg now.
Questions I have are is it better to deprive and sunrise AND sunset or target the ruduction at one end? Does deep shade do anything? Is there a breathable material that is suitable for use as a single plant covering? I have photography fabric (1 layer reduces light by 50% so could I use multiple layers in combo with deep am shade?
I feel like I would rather take advantage of a natural sunset, has anyone tried shifting the am or pm darkness to stay on 12/12?
I plan to do this in the fall as well but will be different strain, and I also want to push as late into the season so I will be working on some supplimental light/heat management (diy style).
I am mainly an indoor grower but want to get away from the heavy reliance on electricty, which means I will need to insulate that coldframe better because right now I am only slightly ahead because heaters are just now only operating periodically at night.

I hope you join me on this journey.
