My plants are about 40cm tall and 2 months old. It's Top 44. Should I put them on 12/12 cycle now? What if I let them grow natural way as the Sun dictates? If grown natural way, how long would it take them to reach full maturity and be ready for harvest? Thanks.

ok so i presume your are growin outdoors, u are better off leaving them mature naturally outdoors cause the will yield much more and its natural, if u try and force them outdoors then if they revert back to veg being outdoors then they will have shitty small buds..

It will take ages at this time of year at least till the end of august september. Why not let them have real sun for 12 hours and take them in after that?

Mates. I am growing them indoors without artificial light. However, they are exposed to sunlight at the window seal for at least 12 hours for 2 months. So what now? West says go 12/12. Cali it's indoor grow. What would be better?

In my experiences, plants forced to flower do the most stretching, by far. I always end up with a few outdoor-in-planter plants moved inside to flower naturally by a bright window, and they've never stretched and produced the bigger, tighter buds, albeit their not ripe til' around XMas.

Stretch is generally a concern unless one has unlimited space and lighting.

Yes Top 44. It's growing in pure forest soil without any extras For now, it's not too stretched. I'm waiting when it shows it's sex
