Observations from greenhouse-grown plants in 2019, fall, by David Brenner. Most of the images were taken by Sam Flomo. At planting the light timers in the campus greenhouse were set for lights on from 8 am to 10 pm (about 15 hours since it was light at 7 am). On September 7 the timers were changed to 8 am to 4 pm, so the daylengths were short and local, to force flowering, since the plants were large enough to flower well. Rove beetles were released on September 7 to control thrips.
