    Hey yall.
    Planted first seeds ever 1 week ago, didn't do any of the germinating stuff I've since read about :p But still got I think about 8 or 9 sprouts. I wasn't expecting any so I had like 4 sprouts in each 6inch pot. I've since moved the 3 biggest to individual pots, I'll probably do 2 more individuals and give the other seedlings to mates.
    Anyway.
    Security is a pretty real issue for me, so this is just an experimental thing, I'll try more seriously after I leave home.
    What I am ideally looking for is the plants to flower as soon as possible, and when the tree is as small as possible to prevent detection.
    They are growing outside, and seem to be shooting up pretty well...
    Ive read alot about the ideal light times for flowering, 12/12 and such, but what I am really looking for is a guide to get these babies flowering quickly. Yield is not really important.

    I'm not even sure if any are female yet, just hoping :p

    This forums been a big help to get me started.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or guides :wave:

    HI if your growing outside its gonna be months till she is ready for harvest and its gonna get pretty big ,your flowering is triggerd by the days shortning at the end of summer so you have no control over when you harvest etc .

    If it would help I could place plants in complete darkness for a certain period of the day? Then sunlight for the rest?

    yeah as long as the plant gets 12 hours of light and 12 hours of complete darkness then it should flower ok .

    Oh nice.
    How long/how big do the plants need to be before you can start that process?
    3 or 4 Sets of leave? 1 Month growing time?
    Thanks for the help by the way.

    well you can start flowering (12/12) when ever you like but its usualy advised to grow the plant in veggitive stage (24 or 18 hours of light) for a while to increase your end yeild ,if you start flowering to early your yeild wont be as good.one point to think about is the plant will usualy double or tripple in height when in flowering ,and thats how alot of people judge on how long to veg for.
