How big is it? If u want it to flower, you gonna have to cover it and make it think the days are getting shorter. Black plastic, tarp, or if it's small enough a trash can etc....so like cover it at 8pm then uncover at 8am everyday and it will start flowering.......in a week or two, but you gota cover and uncover until it's ready to be chopped.

and since you're in the south, you'll probably get moldy plants unless you do something about the humidity when they are sealed up for 12 hours. You could also cover starting 12 hours from sunrise, then uncover after sunset so it's only sealed up for 4 hours or so.

This is what I like to do. Or cover for the first few hours of morning since its cooler.

That's a good point about the morning, way better than plants steaming up for a few hours. I started doing this a few years back when many people had not heard of it, definitely raised some eyebrows but it worked and didn't need the dehums and fans that everyone else did.
