Then I guess I'll just be leaving it off. I really hope it does not cut down on production too much!!You would be better off without any light than leaving them on 24 hours a day. I get decent enough production through winter without supplementing light. The length of daylight begins to increase about December 22, so unless you have a need for high production I don't think it's worth messing around with.
weather fluctuations and storms will cause stress and halts in production throughout the season. First year layers will lay pretty consistently, production will begin to ramp up in March and April, so expect your best production during early spring and into the beginning of summer.Then I guess I'll just be leaving it off. I really hope it does not cut down on production too much!!
