Trish: Others may have already made the suggestion, but you might
consider beginning to increase the number of hours you have your lights
on. For my indoor CPs I keep lights on 12 hours winter and 18 hours
summer. I gradually increase hours in the spring and decrease in the
fall. Right now my lights are back up to the 18 hour cycle.
