hey mama! yes if you intend on starting seed for spring plantings youll have to have 14-16hrs of light in total to keep things healthy. if you intend on supporting established plants its about a third less. and any portion of direct sunlight is half as much in general.you can economize by using tubelights but remeber to purchase the two differant kinds of white light to get the full light spectrum.also you can go deep into the old greenhouse threads here at daves and get all the info you can handle on all aspects of your new adventure its worth the trip so dive in! im in my first full season with my rion 8x16 and im in hyper drive planting mode and everything prepared for a massive spring planting of annuals as well as my perennals. the pic is my best bed from this summer.
