Growing in outdoors Florida

Hey everyone. I'm in the North Florida/South Georgia area and I'm growing outside. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me or can give me a few tips? We had a plant about 3.5 ft before, but one of our cats pissed in the soil and it was dead by the next morning i went outside to check on it. I was pissed to say the least

I have some that are about two weeks going. They are small. I was wondering how I can keep the plant smaller so it will start budding say at 12 inches instead of waiting til its 3 ft tall.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you are growing outside now it should start flowering soon due to the less sunlight (12/12). I don't think it will finish up before the first frost however. You may want to bring the plant in or hold off until next season.

Thanks for the info man
