Durable Galvanized Steel Blackout Light Deprivation Agricultural Greenhouse

Light deprivation is a useful growing technique often implemented to encourage or discourage flowering in plants outside their regular seasonal schedule. Using blackout tarps to simulate the seasons' changing, growers can take advantage of up to three harvests: early summer, late summer, and winter.

Growers accomplish this by controlling how much and how often plants receive light. Plants sense the amount of day and night hours using their circadian clock to determine whether they should be working on growing foliage, producing seed, or heading into dormancy.
