Help, please!

Quick question...if you're using natural light(window) and the light cycle goes past 12/12 during flowering, what happens? Do the buds keep growing? Seeds?

Ouch..two quick questions. If you have a small, immature plant what will it do when the light cycle changes during fall/winter to 12/12 and then less and less light; will it keep growing through the winter with limited light?

Would it be best to build an indoor setup to house them?

Thanks!

If your asking what happens if your plants get over 12 hrs or light a day after they were already on 12/12 then they'll stop flowering and go back into the vegetaive stage you want to keep your growing conditions the same as with the light if you keep changing the dark times your chances of ending up with a hermaphorite are greatly increased a slowed resin production and shitty bud structure if any

if u r outdoors growing it will be fine except seasons about over unless u live in a tropical climate if u r growing in a window then its growth will be slower then outdoors
just think about the ? then look at plants in the outdoor growing forum the are a plant that normally grows outdoors but falls coming and frost and u need to go indoors
and your chances r no more increased of having a hermie indoors or out
it is mostly genetics but can be caused by light stress i have heard, but it is from really screwing up light cycle like every day
i would say grow it where ever if it was like may but now its middle of sept
bring it indoors get about 8 clfs and a fan and let the magic happen it will thank u and will grow up and stop being a immature plant

ok sorry missed the window part
gotcha now, outdoors it gets more light
u will get not good results in a window it only gets a few hours of direct light
go the cfl light bulb route

Thanks responders, much appreciated.

In a natural light cycle where the 12/12 period wanes and only lasts for a few weeks, what influence will this change have on the buds? How long MUST flowering happen for nice buds to grow?

Rep available.

flowering time varies due to different strains and different growing conditions but if u want to do this plant justice get some lights on it.

what way does window face north,south ,east or west

In this situation it wouldn't be a matter of one window, but rather light from windows all day; a moving plant. There wouldn't be a shortage of light, and there would be direct light for approx. 5 hours a day.

Depending on the strain you need 8-12 weeks in general to flower a plant fully.
