i was curious if it was possible to keep a plant in veg without it going into flower?
i have large plants going but i love the way the plant itself looks so i want to keep one as a house plant lol

oh i forgot i wanted to know if theres something i can do so that darkness wont put it into flower also, like where it just stays in veg no matter what

i don't think there's anything you can do to make it not flower with a regular dark cycle. there might be some sort of obscure experimental hormone treatment or something but i wouldn't know the first thing about that.

that said, unless you supplement a 18/6-or-better light cycle (and even if you do; a lightbulb competing with the sun sometimes isn't enough), as a houseplant chances are it's going to flower on you.

it would be nice if you could just be ready to move it into your room if it does; keep an eye out for white pistils. such pretty girls.
