Yes flower it. 28 inches is super tall. If it doubles in height after forcing itll be 56 inches tall when done and you dont have the light for a plant that big. Youll be harvesting a small quantity as it is. FLOWER IT!!!!! FLOWER IT!!!!!

Hello Josh when I first read you're post I mistaken it for 28cm and thought there's no rush, I'd get more vegitive growth on it. However at 28 inches I would say induce flowering and see what happens
Like Sativagrowin says it's going to get big.

I would like to see more growth, more leaves and it to "bush" out more but at that height I would have to flower

yeah i induced flowering, i heard that you should let it sit in the dark for 36 hours when enduceing flowering instead of going straight to 12/12, why would i do this? how does it help?

Hello Josh I've never done that I just switch straight to 12/12.

I have heard of people gradually reducing time lengths down to 12/12 but I've never bothered

Alright, Question : How dark does it have to be during dark phase? like pitch black? My plant is preatty well darkened, just has a little bit of indirect light on it, as in the area isnt pitch black..is that ok?

Well, outdoors, plants flower with starlight and moonlight.

But indoors, you should get it as pitch black as possible. You can use carpets/heavy black fabrics to cover gaps and holes. But, it should be as dark as possible. You might risk hermies.

Wait on input from more experienced growers on this one.

Hello Josh you know I don't really know how much "not quite darkness" (for the want of a better phrase ) a plant will tollerate before it would be unable to flower ????.

I've never had that problem because when the light is out the growroom is totally light proof, it's really dark . However I did grow an outside crop on my first grow and the natural night is definetely not total darkness.

However if I were you Josh, I would try to find some way to block all light out to be on the safe side
