In a tropical rainforest where plants grow all year around you might not need to control when you plant. In a northern clime where day length varies over the year by ±6 hours and the seasons move from ice and snow to blazing sun, then you crop once a year and need to regulate planting. | |

by convention, the title should always ask a question.
