Alright now ive been talking to a few people on here. If ive been told right im pretty much fucked now because i have to wait all the way until like august/september for my plants to flower? There nearing about 3months and some odd weeks. Someone help me out here. I was told that putting it in darkness for full 24 hours then putting it back outside next would force flower it. Then someone told me that now that its over 12 hours of lighting outside that it wont work and its myth. lol. So someone clarify all this shit for me before i fucking go insane and just hash these bitches. imp:

I was having the same problem, i had my plants inside for a while under 18/6, i put them outside thinking they would just flower, but then i found out that outside at the moment there is 15 hours of daylight each day, thats why my plants werent flowering, so i am puting them inside every night now to shorten the daylight hours. Hope this helps.

it has to be 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to start flowering

Actually most strains outside will begin to flower at 14 hours of darkness.
But 24 hours of darkness won't flower your plants.They will go back to veg.

then what do i fucking do? theres no way to force flower outside now? someone help!

Well, what you can fucking do is wait. It's going to be difficult to force flower outdoors when the sun doesn't respond to the needs of a single plant.

What you could try to do is make a tipi style tent from some very blacked out materials, like a couple tarps -- anything to keep the light out.

You'll need to only let the plant get a maximum of twelve hours sunlight, so you'll have to put the tent up for a minimum of twelve hours; then take the tent down in the morning so it gets ten - twelve hours of light again; then repeat from step one.

Tedious, arduous, and better left to nature.

Next time, try using some auto-flowering strains of the ruderalis hybrid kind.

thank you

If i make my plants flower for a few weeks then leave them outside on about 15 hours of light a day will it still revert to veg?

[Jdog7000]

yes it will.

This is some interesting news to me. I'm curious about my plant. It's just over 3 feet tall now and should be flowering now but is continuing to veg as well. It's in my patio which only sees about 13 hours of light and has plenty of white hairs and pistols.

What I would like to know is, will it just continue to veg as I have read from the previous posts? Also, why didn't anyone post an article stating this before? I mean it totally makes sense as I know that in order to flower one must run a 12/12 but I have several other posts and nobody ever even mentioned this. Just seems a little odd.
