I have always started plants inside under lights and used 12 hours of daylight.
This year I have the luxury of a hoop house and wonder if at the latitude of 37 N
(Springfield MO) in February if lights would be beneficial?  

Next week day length will be 11 hours so I am inclined  to think that lights will not
be necessary this time of year.  Does anyone use lights in a hoophouse if say you were
to start plants in Dec or Jan?

Thanks for your input!
