How are you lighting them 12/12 if they are outdoors..?

Outdoors means they are under the SUN.. correct?

Well... Another case of someone who needs to read up on things....

Lighting = Sun (Possibly dumbest Q i have ever heard..)

Buds = You'll see white hairs and around them the bud will form, no flowers. If you see clusters of balls its male so you need to cut it down straight away.

And you really shouldnt have given it 12/12 from the off....

OH I see.. cool

Well...
A plant should receive 18+ hours of light during its vegetative period..

When the plant is 1/2 the size you want it to be....

You will reduce the hours of daylight to 12 hours...

(plants will approximatley double in size, from the time you switch them to FLOWERING-12/12 to the time they are ready to harvest)

What is important here.. Mr. STONE..

Is that the 12 hours of darkness must truly be uninterrupted 12 hours of darkness..

This is when the elves come and hang the buds on your plants.. If the plants or the elves see any light in those 12 hours, they will not come and your plant will not have buds.....

One night I forgot my bag of bud in my growroom...so I open the door to the dark room. And all these little eyes look at me and then disapeared.
I slammed open the door(thinking I was getting robbed by midgets) and threw on the light only to find I crushed one of the elves with the door. I put him in a glass of fermaldihyde and put it in a freak museum.
Now I never go in there at night Because I'm afraid the Other bud elves are pissed at me?
