the flowers are growing at a faster rate now. i went ahead and tied the leaves loosly to the stem, using a wide circle of wire, which doesnt hold the leaf close to the stem and is working for now until the floral growth gets bigger. growth has literally stopped now, at 42 inches. i havnt tried putting them outside. btw, this is in a cupboard 3.5x3.5x7.5 which has concrete block walls and a wooden firedoor. the firedoor has 5 inch holes drilled thru 2 inches from the bottom, there covered with bug mesh. i then have a 4 inch hole which has the same bug mesh and watever i can find to block the direct light. i also use a bit of ply to block the light from the small holes. if any light does get in i think it wud be so little none wud get at the leaves. ive started my bending, on my younger plants as there in a nft res and the stems are only 6 inches from each other when seedlings, so im pulling them to 1 side. will this hurt the plant in anyway? thanks for the help and suggestions
