We get 22 hours of sunlite June 21 and right now, today we are receiving 13+
hours of sun.  It was +2F this morning and our snow is starting to melt.  I
agree with you that the fan only strenghtens the tissue of the stem.

Clair,
Being in zone 1-2, you have lots of light in the north and your hours of
daylight are already longer than ours and stretching very fast. You must
have close to 20 hours daylight around the summer solstice (June 21) ... I
would be interested to know more about this. Already, your hours of daylight
are probably long enough to grow plants without the need of articifial
light. Del in Minnesota must be between 48th and 46th latitude line and I am
close to 46th. Del would have a tiny bit more light than I, at this point
since we are past March 21st, where lighting would have been about equal
everywhere in the northern hemisphere. I think I have a bit more than 11
hours right now.
Clair, you might say that our lighting perspective is different.
A fan is useful to strenghten the tissue of the stem but I don't think it
can replace light.
Tell us more about your location.

Hélène, zone 3-4
