shown). Under HPS lights needed fruits of Sonata and Magnum fewer days to ripe than under LED lights. LEDs increased the number of days to get ripe fruits by five days. Number of days from pollination to harvest of Sonata was 33-46 days (average: 41 days) under HPS lights and 41-56 (average: 47 days) under LED lights and for Magnum 31-49 (average: 40 days) under HPS lights and 39-55 (average: 45 days) under LED lights (Fig. 19). The variety seems to have no influence on the number of days. No relationship was found between the number of days from pollination to harvest and the weight of the fruit.

In the middle of the harvest of Sonata were most ripe fruits per week counted compared to the beginning (first two weeks) and the end of the harvest period (last two weeks). Around 10 fruits were weekly harvested when harvest reached its maximum (Fig. 20a). In contrast, for Magnum was the harvest more even during the harvest period and weekly were around six fruits harvested (Fig. 20b).
