My girls have been growing outdoors for about 2 months now, and they're not as big as they should be due to some heavy rain. I was wondering what is the best time to try and force flower? They were planted in the ground outside on march 6th

Wow, thats 2 months ?
How do you force flowering when they're outside?
No matter, as it stands there they wouldnt support much of any useful buds.

you cover them so that they only receive 12 hrs of light.
also, it is said that a plant is mature and ready to flower when the nodes alternate

OK but what then cover it and uncover it every day ?
And if the covered time doesnt provide total darkness what then ?

No, I'm curious...... I've never done anything outside as much as I would just love too.

yes, big growers have motorized covers on timers. I guess if you suck at building covers, you might have a issue, so build a better cover would be my answer. or find someone who can.

Save this grow ...gently dig them up and pot them in their own 3 gallon pots with some
Fox Farm ocean forest with 30% perlite in each pot,
move to a sunny warm location ...

but only if still alive????

Ive never grown outdoors, but wonder why so stretchy when their outdoors.. Is that normal for outdoors? or is it because maybe they are in too shady of a spot? I'd never grow outdoor but im just curious.
