So when does an outdoor plant start flowering. Well with a 12/12 photoperiod? Now, how does a plant stay in veg in these conditions? by manipulating the plant with supplemental lighting? now how mucj supplemental lighting is what keeps them in veg. When I'm ready to flower a plant, what happened when I'm past 12/12 and don't have a dark place to throw them in? Say I'm getting 10 hours darkness and 10 of light? how will these plant react? will they flower? also how do people avoid rain when flowering outdoors in these immobile pots? cause I know I can't move a 100 gallon smart pot.. thanks.
