you have to keep the light cycle as close to 12/12 as possible or they will just go back into veg mode. Where do you live? what time is sunrise and sundown?

btw, what kind of soil are you using? those things are extremely small for 2 months old.

so im getting 14 hours of light a day u reckon i should just cut 2 hours of light off them.I only get morning light in my room so i can rob them of 2 hours of light in the afternoon and put them on my bedroom window? so the morning light at 6am will naturally wake them up then i put em outside till 6pm then back inside to sleep????????

i would just keep them outside n let them do their thing or what you could do is when the sun is finnaly gone down far enough so theres no light hitting the plants just put a garbage can over it so its 100% dark but make sure u remove it before the sun hits it the next morning it might die

Lies...more lies. Its a weed and cant be killed just by covering them and forgetting it for 1 even 2 days.

Look into the daily light tables, for your area, and find the approx. date that the daylight drops below 13 hours. Bring your plants inside, about 2 weeks before that date, get the flowering process started, put them outside to continue, then finish. Or, you could just leave 'em outside. At 14 hours of light per day, it won't be long before the photoperiod changes enough to start them flowering, naturally.(about a month, or so)
