New at outdoor growing

I've got two plants groing in the yard. One's gotten to 5 ft and the other 4. I was staring to try to force it to flower by putting the tall one in a shed for 12/12. But I'm hearing that i have to continue that until ..... forever.

That increaes my exposure.

is there any way to force it to flower nad put it back or does it revert?

It doesn't get 12/12 outdoors until mid Sept. They'll be 10 ft tall by then.

suugestions?

okay so heres the deal the I dunno how your yard is and such but find the strongest part of your yard that gets the most 12 hours of light. and just place it there every day and when you do put the plant back to the shed back sure no light is peaking through pure 100% darkness is needed cause if not you'll run into a possible herm and who really wants that

Thanks fo ryour reply. But does that mean I'm putting and taking for the duration or can I do it for a week or so without it reverting to vegetative?

nope youd have to continue doing that for the next 8-9 weeks so the plant stays on the flower cycle.

once you leave the plant out for more then a day its already working on going back to the veg stage

Thanks. Looks like some topping is gonna have to get done.
How deep can i top it without killing it?

Maybe I can clone the topping.

oh yea topping is sometimes a life saver in the sense of growing
