brother, I think you're mistaking. He's growing outdoors, not indoors!!!
Black trash bags are what I have used before with great success...Good luck!

That's a question I've always had about force flowering. I started doing one for two weeks, and couldn't think of any way to do it while giving it ample air flow and protecting from light leaks. I just put it in a pretty much airtight container at six, and removed it right at dark. Never saw any ill effects but I'm sure it wasn't good for it.
I'd like to hear any other methods that work better, but I'm stumped.

place bamboo sticks or something equivalent around all your plants.
use black cotton sheets to cover them and the sheets rest on the bamboo so they do not hurt the plants.
airflow still comes through the sheets.
cover them at night exactly 12 hours from when the sun will rise in your area...then when the sun sets that night, you uncover the plants so they can be greeted by the sun in the morning.

so how many sheets per plant? if used only one wouldnt light still come thru because of the sheet being thin? was the sunlight hitting your plants directly or were they shaded and covered? has anyone else ever used this method and what was the out come just curious. sorry for all the questions but im just looking for the best method i may try a few different ways for future reference thanks for all the advice from everyone

It depends on how long you were covering it for. I think it would continue flowering because we are getting less than 12 hours of light in the first place. Unless its a situation where it was getting 8, and now its 11, and that large difference would make it reveg
I'm curious as to how the plant was vegging in the first place, if florida is getting < 12 hours of light
Sorry for the threadjack

(i put it inside at sunset under light for an extra 4 hrs for veg )
im at two weeks flowering and i still see no sign of sex ive still been covering it w/ a rubbermade box and towels because of a cold front but its warming back up highs it the 70s today
it gets 13 hours dark at least every night and 11 light when i have to cover it.
other than tht sunsets at 6 and rises at 6 so it get 12/12 when its not cold
