12/12 isnt set in gold its just a general rule used by INDOOR growers.

the days have been getting shorter for almost a month now depending on the strain they should start to flower soon.

GET A PEICE OF WIRE (with plastic coating) bend one end of it into a hook shape and wrap it around the main stalk about 3/4ths of the way to the top.

anchor the other end to a stake in the ground and SLOWLY bend her over, twist the wire enough to lower her top a few inches every few days
