I started a couple of plants from bag seed and they've matured. one is 5ft tall and the other about 4.
outdoors.

I'm trying to force flower the tall one because it's getting out of hand.
Putting it in shed every nite to simulate 12/12.
but this increases my exposure. don't want to do this for 6 weeks.

How long before it's effective?
Will the plant bud after this or do i still have to wait?
will it revert?

any help appreciated.

you have to keep it in 12/12 for the whole time it's flowering or it will go back into vegging

When I have forced "out of Hand tall plants" to bud early you have to be consistent everyday but placing a large heavy duty garbage bag... black of course over plant at the appropriate time every nite and use a light bungee to seal the base to prevent light from entering. Another thing to consider doing this is the humidity trapped in the bag, do not overwater plant and ensure that mold does not form on plant.
Consistency is the key to make this work.
Of course your other option would be to simply prune your plant or tie it over so it is less obvious and let it finish its season to your climate zone naturally.
