force flowering outdoors

I just coverd my plants up tonight for the first day. I used three black garbage bags for each. I'm looking to force flower due to increased paranoia of being caught. I'm just looking for tips and advice on how I should go about doing this. Thanks guys

if i were to force flower, would that decrease my yield ¿?

Yes it would

HEY WPLOTUS , I forced a few plants and got good results , I found some males, so I cut them, and dam if they smoke real good, half a joint and Im good, just force them at the same time each night, I have a non 420 neighborhood, so keep it short

Alright cool. Should I keep covering them throughout the whole flowering period or just the first two weeks

I grow outdoors during the summer and force flower. You have to keep them covered the whole flowering period. And make sure you don't have any light leaks. Not sure about the garbage bags. Probably not dark enough and no air circulation.

You dont need to, they are going to start flowering on their own within a week or 2 most likely, the light cycle has been decreasin since june 21st. Let them get as much light as possible. You'd be hurting your yeild and plants potential for something that is already going to happen in the same time frame.......

so if i wanted to force flower do i cover it for straight time..or on and off??
