ive just switched my plants day time to 12/12 but its varying a lot because of me over sleeping or losing track of time... does it have to be EXACTLY 12/12 or can it be within a half hour of it?... the space is COMPLETELY dark but nothings happening? the plants around 1'-2", its got new growth coming from the original leaves, but theyre not fully mature yet... am i doing something wrong or is the plant not mature enough? overall its healthy.. it lost the 2 bottom leaves so... ehh, but the rest are fine... i also began addin Miracle Grow Bloom Booster to increase yield, or so it says...

anyone able to help? i dont wanna screw up this plant since its doing good..

How tall is it, 1 foot or 2 inches? Clarify please. I hope you didnt say that there only 1-2 inches tall. Be patient man, this shit takes time. I recommend you get a timer, there not that expensive and it saves you little work, and even more responsibility. Spend the $20 and you will not have to worry about this. I am pretty sure that a steady dark period will benefit the final product. Show some pics if you got them.

3 days? a little excessive if you ask me. You might not see signs of fems. for another couple weeks. The males might be poppin up soon though, so keep an eye out. get pics

it takes 12 to 16 days to show signs of sex. and you must have total darkness during dark. i had little lght getting through i thought it'l be o.k just like the moon but it badly delayed flowering. best of luck

thanks guys! its completely dark, at least darker than the moon, for sure... my MAIN problem is i keeeeep over sleeping... also, later on, im gonna post a picture of another plant cause it keeps drooping... it was fine until it got torn out of its pot by my dog, but no bruises or cuts or anything... just drooping... so maybe it just needs more time to recover

Lowe's sells a digital timer that works perfectly for $9. Please get it, it will really help your plants out.

Those timers are $9.95 at Lowes and Home Depot. Easy and Simple too.
You got to have a real time schedule to fool the plant into thinking autumn is near.

Until you get one of these timers, your flowering problem is probably going to keep biting you in the rear.
