Indoor greenhouse- making seasons happen?

9 years ago

I have a year round indoor greenhouse. As I've said many times I live right on the ocean in Oregon with saltspray, 50-85 mph year round wind, and little sun. These prevent much of anything but spruce trees and nature to grow outside- so no outdoor citrus.

In a quandary about how or IF to make seasons happen. I can keep the LED grow lights they use on year round 12+ hours as I do now. Or cut back slowly to 8 or so hours in the winter. The only thing I can't do is keep the temperature down in (fake) winter because the rest of my plants are plumeria. They are also in the same greenhouse with multiple T5HO lights which give off major heat- when they're on it's 85-90*.

So do I do it, or do your think I can keep them growing like summer year round? That's what my plumerias do btw.
