however, if you let it grow naturally outdoors, you could always trellis the plant so it grows horizontally and stays short.

if you are going to artificially put it under 12/12, don't use a burlap sack. it will damage your plant cause of it's heaviness, and once the plant starts budding you definitely don't want anything wrecking the buds. i had to cover my budding plants with plastic bags to move them one time, and the buds got slightly damaged. you gotta be really careful with them delicate babies./


I have a tomato cage around it so they will not get damaged. Thank you so much for the advice. Also how can I trellis the plant?
Stoney21 Reviewed by Stoney21 on . Help with a plant I have a plant that sprouted in my yard. It is about two weeks old. The first picture I took on day 10. I sprayed some stuff that I found in my mom's shed. It said it was to increase the yield of tomatos and vegetables. Well 4 days later the plant looks a lot better. If this plant is a girl, how and when will I know if it is one. Also what should I do with it to make it grow faster. Also when would I expect budding. Also it is a high quality plant, because the only seeds I throw in my Rating: 5
