Im not exactly sure of how to do it, considering this is my first time growing. Do you know if it has to be complete black, or if it can receive light indirectly?

yes it has to be complenty dark if you want them to force flower then they have to have mo more than 12 hours of light it they will flower right now theres 14 hours of light just cover them with black big trash back everday arounf 6pm then when it gets dark take the trash bag off and repeat daily!

Thats pretty much what I was thinking, I have already built a frame around the plants, with the back and sides permanently covered, so i just have to cover the top and front

yes im moving my plants outside 2nite and everyday at 6pm i will put black trashbagover them then take it off at darkthat just shortens the light periof becuse MJ will only flower if the light on 12hours or less and it will flower but it has to get atlest 8 hr of light a day

Mine are in pots its easier just to put a trashbag on them till dark then take it off at dark if i bring them in them everynight then i got to set a alarm clock to wake my lazy ass up eveyday morning to put them out! do you get what im saying??

So i constructed a "box" of some sorts, that can be completely blacked out when i pull the front down, hopefully this will work.
Also, what is the MINIMUM amount of light a plant needs to maintain?
